Once Upon a Time... Happily Never After

Spanish TV is well known for not being inclusive and not including people of color in their telenovelas , movies, or media in general, especially as main characters. Now, there is a Black protagonist and I browsed IMDB to find info on who she is and there's no picture of her!

Most of the singers are very talented. Sebastian Yatra needs to stick to regueton. His acting is atrocious and his voice does not compare to the rest of the singers. Story has its funny parts but it's all over the place. Asier is amazing as always. And the woman are very good too. The music is the thing I enjoyed most of the whole show. Not a show that all audiences will enjoy.

... they can't be very bright. It's very easy to follow, it's just telling two stories at once. I found it really good fun that doesn't take itself too seriously.

This serie looked promising as it's produced by Manolo Caro, who tends to be quirky and satirical and has a done a couple of good series before. However, I couldn't go past the first episode of the show. The whole story seemed to be all over the shop and I couldn't keep watching Sebastian Yatra's horrid performance. I like him as a singer but he has no talent acting whatsoever. The characters are lose, the story is convoluted and I couldn't quite figure out who was who was who in the zoo.

It is a disappointment as I feel some actors like Rossy de Palma and Mariana Trevino - who are wonderful- would have made worth the time watching. Unfortunately, I just don't feel giving it a second chance.

I'm not one to leave reviews, but I didn't want people to be turned away by the low rating. This series is original and magical with hints of humours. It's not going to be to everyone's taste, but to those who give it a chance, they might find themselves smiling at the silliness going on and the corny (but cute) songs and story.
