Telenovela

Telenovela is a treasure. It really deserved more seasons.

The cast is hilarious.

It's a great quick binge watch, and it delivers plenty of laughs.

It's hard to say who is the funniest, because the entire cast is perfection in how they deliver their lines. The cast chemistry is amazing.

This is a behind-the-scenes type of comedy about the daily shooting of a telenovela (spanish speaking soap opera) and the lives of people involved with its creation.

It is stylish, colorful with good comedic timing, decent jokes and good over-the-top performances from the cast. Mainly it exploits the stereotype of a Diva, the flashy popular female protagonist, who only cares about her image. The fun starts right from the beginning when you realize that the main star of the Telenovela (Eva Longoria) doesn't even ...speak Spanish!

Although they *not* belong in the same genre, it is unavoidable to compare this, with another telenovela-ish series, Jane the Virgin (which I stopped watching after its first season finale). Telenovela is far more entertaining and light and fun and spares you from watching an actual melodrama.

In a sentence: This is a witty comedy that will keep you entertained.

I remember years ago when the hot and sexy Eva Longoria was on the hit night soap "Desperate Housewives" as a sexy colored bra wearing self centered wife who cheated on her husband who caused trouble. And it was a pleasure to watch her! Now she returns with this Spanish like soap "Telenovela" and it's real funny and tries to be a catch with the witty and smart lines! Eva is Ana a soap actress who's trying to make her way after a break up and it's an adventure to deal with the other cast members every episode as it's about finding love and friendship while contending with off and on the set drama. And it's a tease of laughs and sex appeal as Ana dresses very sexy a real eye candy treat! Anyone should know anything with Eva Longoria in it should be a watch she's so sexy!

Bright, VERY colorful and amusing comedy about a beautiful actress (Eva Longoria) who's the star of a Spanish soap opera (they're called telanovels). She has to deal with back-stabbing costars, her hunky ex (who is playing her love interest in the show) and various attractive men and women.

It moves QUICKLY, has a bright tight script, good acting (Longoria is obviously having fun) and has plenty of cheesecake AND beefcake (a running joke has a particularly handsome muscular guy constantly tearing his shirt off). The plot has been done before but it's done well here. Hopefully it can be consistently clever and funny for a long run. Recommended.

I started watching Eva Longoria's new show Telenovela when it played on TV for the preview episodes and now I never miss an episode this show is so funny and makes me and my whole family laugh every week when we watch it. Each episodes has a different story but always has the same main characters in it. I find each episodes keeps getting more funny every week and I think I'm going to buy it on iTunes or something so I can have all the episodes. This is a great new show and I think everyone should start to watch it every week on Mondays at 8:30pm. I really do hope that NBC renews this show for a second season because so many people I know like watching it every week. I rate Telenovela 10 out of 10 stars.
