Velvet

Found this by accident and got hooked. Acting is very good and the story lines are very easy to follow. loved the way they played background music throughout. Have watched season 1 & 2 on netflix I don't speak Spanish so I can't say if the translation is all correct but it worked for me. Does anyone know where one could get a soundtrack of the music. Not all of the music was composed for the series there are a lot of 50's 60's and so on used. I would love to get a soundtrack or CD of the music. So much was new to me but really great I was brought up in a Spanish speaking home and surprising how much of the Spanish I could understand.

Most of the actors did a good job in this TV series. However, there are 2 actors who really stood out.

Manuela Velasco played the role of Cristina Otegui and was outstanding!

Asier Etxeandia played the role of Raul de la Riva, the fashion designer, and was outstanding!

By accident on Netflix, I came across this series and was instantly hooked. I'm currently rewatching it with family members who as well are hooked and without a doubt like me are waiting anxiously for Season 3. One thing I would've wished for is for the music to be more culturally and scene associated. There are some beautiful Spanish boleros and Pop selections that in our opinion would've made the scenes more profound and connected. The English selections were a huge disconnect for me and my family who are all of Latin origin and bilingual. Nevertheless, this is a beautiful series filled with an engaging mixture of love, drama, and comedy. Season 3 hurry up and arrive to Netflix, Please!

If you like this era (late 50s/early 60s), you'll love Velvet. I love the look and feel of this show: the clothes, the cars, the music, the cocktails. I even love the sunglasses the lead character sports in a few episodes. But nostalgia aside, it's a terrific show. The crux of the series is a great once-in-a-lifetime love, a love that should be the destiny of the boy & girl. But of course, everything is against them: their parents, their class difference, and financial issues. The two actors who play the leads couldn't be better. Both are gorgeous to look at AND terrific actors - what more could you ask for? Besides the main story, a number of secondary plots, both comic and tragic, will engage you. I just finished watching the first season in less than 2 weeks. And I'm about to watch all 15 episodes again because I love this show so much. Whether Spanish or American, this is one of the best shows I've ever seen.

This show is wonderful and I just love it. I finished watching the episodes of the first season on Netflix and I re-watched them again. Although I don't speak or understand Spanish and just rely on the subtitles, I still really enjoy this show tremendously. The story line about true love, social class differences, sacrifices and other hurdles make this series very interesting, (and educational to me). I am hooked on watching this series that I can hardly wait for more seasons to come. I even started looking bits and pieces of the second season online. I wish the episodes that I found had subtitles on them so I could understand what they were saying, regardless, I watched them and still loved it. (I just used my own imagination and the actors' gestures to kind of figure out what they were saying or what is going on). The actors on this show are just amazing and they are all perfect for their given characters. Another interesting thing about this show was that although there are lead characters, the writers and producers managed to give everyone their own story line which really keep the series worth watching. Now, I am motivated to learn Spanish (hopefully, I could) just so I can re-watch this show again and again in the future. Please continue doing more episodes and more seasons. I thank you and more power to all the actors, writers, producers and everyone involve in creating this show. I salute you!
