Días de Navidad

Lovely miniseries, the actresses are all great, starting from those who perform the sisters in childhood, passing through those that interpret them in the adulthood, to reach the apotheosis in their senior age. Angela Molina, Veronica Forquè, Charo Lopez, Victoria Abril and, last but not least, Suzi Sanchez in a secundary but very important role. Not to forget Alicia Borrachero as their mother, the only actress performing in two out of three episodes, getting older with make-up and talented interpretation. I recommend to watch this miniseries, for the script, the interpretation of all actresses and for the director's ability.

Like most spanish series I have seen on netflix, they always deliver on production and visuals.

This one is no exception and it's lovely to see and has a very attractive cast. The first two episodes are stories within themselves that slightly bleed into each other and begin and end fairly well. The third episode however I felt absolutely no connection to the first two. They seemed to try too hard. I understand they used some very famous actresses in the last episode but they did not make this episode shine..

The first two episodes were a testament to the times and showed character. If you're an English speaker the dub over might be weird and nonsensical because they use quite a bit of slang. I am learning spanish so I did not witness the English dubbing first hand.

I began to watch the series attracted by its great cast of actresses, which a priori caught attention. But as it progressed everything became a real nonsense: the story is unlikely and forced, the script sometimes you do not know if it is a joke or not (OMG with some dialogues), and the performances are at a level of school theater played on Christmas event. And with some over acting that makes you wonder why you waste your time watching this. The only one thing that saves the series to burn it at the stake is the performance of veteran actresses. In short, totally expendable.

Large, well built, secluded and surrounded by beautiful snow capped mountains - this is the family home where four sisters joined by a childhood secret, celebrate Christmas at three distinct phases of their lives i.e. during their - teens as daughters, adulthood as mothers and elderly age as grandmothers.

It's a well made classic series, showing the conservative and anticipatory atmosphere post World War II. Interpersonal relationship and antics of the kid sisters is a gleeful watch.

For those familiar with Spanish acting will know that this is series is an ensemble cast of some of the finest Spanish actors. The four leads in the final episode are pure Spanish acting royalty.

The show is a slow burnt until the final episode where everything is revealed and which contains the best acting of n the show with dramatic and funny moments in equal measure. Highly recommended.
