Sin Senos No Hay Paraíso

When the most beautiful woman ever, in my opinion, is the star of a Telemondo series it guarantees it ten out of ten. Of course it makes the whole basis of the screenplay ridiculous since Carmen would be desired by every man and every drug lord and definitely doesn't need sub pectoral prostheses. Indeed it would be a desecration of her beauty. Leaving that aside I have to say that I was surprised at how good the series was although like all these soaps they replay past scenes far too much. I was impressed by the quality of the acting too which gave the characters depth.

I really wanted to enjoy this series but most of each episode is wasted on recaps. Seriously! Half of each episode is literally scenes from previous episodes. I HATE reruns and having to sit through multiple scenes that happened yesterday or last week is torture for me. Thankfully I can bypass the recaps since I'm watching on netflix but it's still a real pain. When I say recap, I don't mean at the beginning of the episode. i mean, throughout the episode. They use these scenes when a character is remembering something or when they touch a topic that happened in a previous scene. It's no exaggeration when I say half of each episode is spent showing you clips from previous episodes.

This is a good show for someone with short term memory who needs constant refreshers.

the Colombian series "Sin Senos No Hay Paraiso" started sometime in June 2008 which began with a decent young girl by her name of Catalina Santana, who is very rich in friendship and love but suffers from a economical situations, that end up choosing a terrible decision to become a prostitute, leaving her decency and reputation in the floor, above that her boyfriend Albeiro who is always looking up to her, but afterwards fells to her in pity, now Catalina also suffers from her breast since she has very few small and needs the silicone to the future, since this will be her passport to paradise.

With her "best friend" Yesica that is the first one to support her in the decision that will haunt her life and subsequently her fate, Yesica full of ambitions more that her, betrays her few ways, meanwhile Catalina continues to sleep with men for money, for me this novela has a lesson which is the next: "keep your decency, focus on the study and never choose the easy side or you'll end up like various people including this woman" anyway i give this season a 1o rate!!!

The series that made someone stop watching Narco shows. A good cast, have seen them in other shows. Reading that this was loosely based on someone's life, yes there was a real life Catalina changed everything. Hard to watch all that downhill drama knowing there are young girls living like this.

Never, until I saw "Without Breasts There Is No Paradise (2008), did I waste time watching "soaps". But having followed the ups and downs of not only Catalina Santana but her equally desperate friends, I can say without hesitation, that the series held me spell-bound from beginning to end. Jota the genius/clown, Jairo the vile abuser and Yessica the devil, revealed the heights (and depths) people will go to, to better themselves. Depravity and sainthood all rolled into one. A brilliant expose' into the deepest feelings and emotions of just about all of us at some point in our lives.I must have seen 10,000 movies over the years and this series has to be among the 8 or 10 best ever. Congrats and well done. GA.
