Monarca

Awesome series , very well filmed . will keep you in your seat !!!! can't wait for season 2 .

Monarca is a very good show. The big question is will it continue. Netflix has an extremely high cancellation rate.

This show is everything the new Dynasty could have been.

The core family has secrets, and there are twists, turns, suspense, and it's amazingly entertaining while relying on good writing. The actors have plenty of material to shine.

This is a show where everyone from the producers, crew, and cast are just spot on. The performances were right on cue.

If you don't speak Spanish, subtitles are available. With the theatrical cinematography, it will be like seeing a foreign movie.

The cast is too large to mention everyone, but this show is perfectly cast. Different generations of actors seem like a real family.

This series gives you an inside look of what it is like to be living in Mexico. Not just about the prevalence of corruption, but about homosexuality, social/economic classes, reputation and narcos.

While the country has made the transition smoothly into modern times in many things, traditional conservative values still have a strong hold on many of its people today and the series does a good job of portraying that.

Homosexuality can still be very taboo for many even though mainstream media is open and accepting about it. The gap between the rich and the poor is pretty wide and these two opposing classes do avoid and hardly interact with each other. Not to say there isn't exceptions but what you see in this series does still happen everyday and is more common than what others think. I know because I am Mexican. I may have been born and raised stateside but i have plenty of family still living in Mexico, have visited and spent many summers there to know these things are very much real.

The series has a great production behind it and wonderful cinematography. Loved the scenery that was shot. There may be some predictable story lines but the show is still very good. it leaves you wanting more. Hurry up Season 2!

Just finished watching Season 1 of "Monarca"and i must say that it has been outstanding in every sense of the word,be it the direction,acting, screenplay,dialogues,editing and/or production values .Simply brilliant ! Hope the second season is as good as the first one!

Although, the general plot is threshed and has been told a thousand times before, the merit of Monarch is in its agile and intelligible narrative, the clear definition of complex characters and great suspense management. The performances are impeccable, at a high level. You will devour the series with a single blow. Excellent job
