Le ragazze del centralino

I really like the series, I like how it develops, the way each girl has a different personality and that it is woven into an interesting tapestry, the technological reality presented in the film and of course, the setting. It depicts the 1920s amazingly well. That is until they play any music.

It completely destroys the mood. While I could ordinary like some of the pieces, seeing them in this setting destroys both, the music and the amazing production. Why? it seems as if a teenager was put in charge of the music while adults did the rest. It's not that there wasn't amazing music at that time!, and it is not as if new groups could compose music following the 20s style!

It's hard to imagine that anyone who appreciates the series as a period piece wouldn't cringe at the music chosen throughout the first season. It's true that other liberties are taken that don't necessarily reflect the period but none as jarring as the soundtrack. If that is an attempt to connect the message to the present day, please stop!! I promise we can all make that connection without watching a 1920's jazz club blaring bad electronic music. Please spare us that discomfort in season 2!!

To those complaining about the English voice overs, you can change the settings. Netflix allows you to watch dubbed versions and/or captions in multiple languages, so you change it to Spanish with English subtitles if it bothers you so much. The options are already provided.

I haven't finished it yet, but so far it's been interesting and well paced.

I liked this series so far. However, every single time the music comes on, I am pulled completely out of the story world and into modern times. This is a big mistake on the part of the producers and or directors, as music is absolutely crucial to story. This movie is set in the 1920s. Why are we listening to EDM and Euro Pop from this decade then? A bit annoying and Such a shame.

There is a basic concept called suspending disbelief that allows the viewer to get lost in the story, forgetting it isn't "real life".

We all adjust to seeing the 1920's in color or voice overs in stories, but this series warps time in a few ways. Music and dance circa 2017 might work in a 1920's story if the dance weren't a jolt out of time but the real problem is lyrics that mention later eras such as mentions of television one may not be able to ignore. Dance could be less jarring if a more timeless style. Thank goodness no actress tries to sell Clear Blue Easy or the pill.

It's a odd choice to have future music and I hope it doesn't spoil a decent series. Mabbe future seasons, if there are any, will use a less jolting dance and music mix with 1920's Spain that serves the story.
