Mentiras

I loved the idea to see the tv show from the a great great Mexican stage play with music that marked an entire generation. Great production, great staring, a "good" script... Although I think that big things were invented that in my opinion were not the most appropriate, honestly I don't know with what intention, the play is in itself a great work, switching it to tv show format was certainly a challenge, but it's disastrous that things are invented trying to improve what already exists.

Good direction, good production, it was so easy to keep the tv show essence.

The performances were brilliant: Belinda, Regina Blandon, Mariana Treviño, Diana Bobio, and Luis Gerardo Mendez. Their performances were simply exquisite. It's a bit sad that Regina Blandon doesn't sing. She's not a singer, after all, but she did as well as she could.

This was a great adaptation; I loved seeing the best Mexican musical in a TV series.

I loved Belinda, a character made for her, and she did an excellent job in her role. I hadn't heard of Diana Bovio, and she was a spectacular surprise for me. Regina Blandón is a bit dull when it comes to acting and isn't a great singer, so it was too much Autotune with her voice. But the best of all was Mariana Trevino, what an excellent actress. Her character is super natural, fresh, and pleasant. She has a lot of charm and a spectacular voice. They could even make a series just about this character, and it would be a hit.

This show is a must if you love musicals and of course old Mexican ballads and pop.

I've never seen the play, so I have no comparison, but I think it can be rated in the same way as the book adaptations. As a series, it works, and it works very well, with five incredible voices and a funny, deep story to tell. There wasn't a minute that didn't keep me on the edge of my seat.

Each character's story was well-plotted; you could somehow follow each story without losing track of it thanks to their distinct personalities and aesthetics. It's also appreciated to have context behind each story; while not excusable, you can empathize with each of the strong women behind each one.

And after a little research, I think the decision to change the ending was the right one; the producer was right: It's not the representation the LGBT+ community needs today.

This is a great series, let me tell you something, I'm more of horror, action, Si-Fi Series, more manly, you know... I'm not a fan of musicals, girly series, old series and my mom songs she used to clean the house... but somehow this series has all of this and I love it! The performances from everyone, the voices, the songs made! Wow, somehow seeing this you feel everything from every character with every song (even made me cry a little bit, but don't tell anyone). Hopefully this is the step to make more TV like this, with this quality and great Mexican actors and actresses (Including Directors).

As a longtime admirer of Mentiras, I was thrilled to see how the series captures the musical's vibrant spirit, nostalgic humor, and iconic 80s soundtrack. The transition to streaming is handled with care, balancing theatrical roots with fresh storytelling.

The essence of Mentiras lies in its playful homage to an entire generation of Mexican ballads, its campy humor, and its self-awareness. Turning that into a TV format is no easy task, but the series manages to retain the charm, color, and musical backbone that made the original stage play such a hit. The direction and art direction are spot-on, and the production values show real care in bringing this world to life.

The cast truly delivers. Belinda brings star power and charisma. Mariana Treviño, Diana Bobio, Luis Gerardo Méndez, and Regina Blandón all give standout performances. Blandón, though not a trained singer, approaches her numbers with honesty and heart, and it works.

Some changes might surprise fans, but overall, it's a lovingly crafted adaptation that honors the original while making it accessible to a new generation.
