Valeria

I had so much fun watching this series with it's fresh, contemporary vibe. I love Lola, her house and her amazing style! I binged the first and now the second season, which I found to be better, in view of characters' and stories' development. I see the low rates being justified by Valeria's flaws and I can't help but wonder, was Carrie Bradshaw likeable? Also, I don't know who promoted it as such, but there's absolutely no need to compare it to SATC, it stands perfectly on it's own.

2023 update: Unfortunately, season 3 was a huge disappointment to me. I had given the series 10 stars, I was that enthusiastic about it! But last season spoiled all the fun. It felt like the writers decided to go against a much anticipated closure, just so the series wouldn't resemble SATC that much. I found the new couples unmatching, uninteresting and lacking that sizzling first season's chemistry. I can't recall any of this season's episodes worthy of rewatching, some of them being unnecessarily time consuming. I had been so looking forward to see Valeria and Victor evolve, mature, help heal each other's insecurities and grow stronger together.

I really enjoyed the first season. It is refreshing. I know there are 4 "Valeria" books, so I hope there will be more seasons.

A 7 for the nice views of Madrid and great music choice. This series is a Spanish version of SATC. 4 friends and their loveproblems in a beautiful city. Storyline is not new, but it's nice to watch if you want something light and easy. Only real problem is the main character Valeria. She is not a likeble character.

Right now, I am almost done with Season 2. I doubt my mind will change by the end of the series.

The main character is very obnoxious and I don't understand the need for such a thing, when others are pretty much ok.

Madrid is very nicely presented in a way one would move there right away, because of beautiful architecture, but more importantly because one can be "poor" with huge apartments, designer furniture and constant partying and outings. I watch all these shows because I can't do all those fun things poor people in Madrid can do, so this is very irritating (to me). For the same reason this romance between a very rich guy and poor girl is not possible, and I wonder when will we stop filming such BS? Either film a fairytale or a real life.

I have to say I really liked some real situations women have to face, like cat calling, menstrual blood, sweating... I would love more of that instead of clichés.

Soundtrack was also very nicely chosen.

I dont like Valeria. I have no empathy towards her. I feel no compassion, no hope for happiness for her. I hope she is miserable. She is not a good person. Honestly, I see no redeeming qualities in this self centered, flighty child. The other characters and stories are really good. Maybe get rid of Valeria and change the name of the show.
