Land of Women

This was fun!!! I knew right off the bat that this would be super predictable and might even get boring but I did enjoy it very much. At first I faked getting invested in the plot but by the end I was actually on the edge of my seat and the drama and humor really got to me. With this being so predictable it made an easy watch for days where you just want to think less and have a chill time. This definitely could have all been wrapped up with two more episodes instead of teasing a complete second season (I think there are at least three open plot lines) but I will come back for the second season if there's one being made!

Great summer serie to watch that is full of events and twists. Flasbacks from the past also keeps the story refreshing. However that was not my original thought when I started to wacth it (almost gave up after episode 2), but as the story moves ahead things start happening it turns out the story moves ahead rapidly. Nice that the events takes place in Europe. Bit too short season though, hopefully the season 2 is coming soon since the last episode of the season endend on a place where I would have like to continue to watch the next episode immediately. Bit different and refreshing serie to watch.

Watched the first two episodes this week and both my husband and I are loving it. It's light, funny, clever and has gorgeous scenery. And having the show be in both English and (primarily) Spanish gives it real sense of authenticity. And I'm confused about the viewers who have a problem with the language choices, since Apple has been advertising this as a bilingual show from the beginning.

The cast are all great, Eva Longoria is as entertaining as ever and Santiago Cabrera is always a delight to watch in anything.

Pour yourself a glass of red and get swept away in the scenery and the sense of family and community.

Eva Longoria wanted escapist TV as she found the current TV shows too stressy and scarily too real. I couldn't agree more with her. There are not enough light shows out there. I've often found myself going back and watching Desperate Housewives, Devious Maids, Emily in Paris etc and so was absolutely thrilled to see a trailer for this new series Land of Women.

She has absolutely achieved her goal with Land of Women! I absolutely love it. I love the mix of English and Spanish dialogue. The characters are great and filming locations just make me want to board a plane to the Catalonia region to explore.

Thank you Eva. And fingers crossed this series is renewed.

I had no expectations from this show and didn't even know what it was about. The only thing that made me want to watch it was that I never miss any Apple Plus comedy shows. I like so many of them, like Trying, Dickinson, Platonic, Mythic Quest, etc. The story is interesting, and the cast is amazing, especially the lead actress. The show gave me a bit of a vibe of Bless This Mess and Schitt's Creek.

After such a long time, I saw a family drama this good! Even though the episodes are about 45 minutes long, they didn't feel stretched. I do think more episodes of 30 minutes would have been better. I've been wanting to watch a good Spanish drama, and I think this show is a good start for me.

When I started this show, I thought it was an English-language show with a few Spanish dialogues. But when I watched the first and second episodes, I found that many of the show's dialogues are in Spanish. Then I watched the third episode, which was almost entirely in Spanish, and the remaining episodes were also mostly in Spanish. This is the first show I've watched in a different language, fully dependent on subtitles. But I didn't mind because the episodes were fun to watch, and the cast was likable. The title didn't make sense to me at first, but they revealed in the third episode why the show's called "Land of Women."

Overall, this show has the right amount of comedy, romantic tension, and drama, making it an entertaining watch. It definitely deserves hype as it is one of the best family drama shows of 2024 and should be renewed for a second season, especially after that super fun finale and ending. This is a comedy show, so if you don't think too much logically, you will definitely love it! A must-watch!
