Mentiras, a Série

It had been a while since a TV show really got me excited - the kind of excitement that makes you hit "next episode" with a smile and a full heart. I'm so glad Mentiras, la serie was the one to bring that spark back. What made it even more special was that it centered around songs from Mexico - songs I didn't quite understand when I first heard them, but that, over time, became memory bubbles floating through my life.

Mentiras, la serie - A Joyful Musical Ride Through Mexican Pop Nostalgia.

This show isn't just about music - it's a perfect blend of sharp comedy, strong storytelling, and outstanding performances. It's a rare treat: a musical theater experience brought to television, and done so well. I laughed, I cried, I identified deeply - sometimes all in the same scene.

The plot follows a group of women tangled in lies, secrets, and one dead man. Yes, there's a murder mystery. But more than that, there's an explosion of 80s and 90s glam, emotional showdowns, and pop songs used like weapons and healing balms. Every song is not just inserted - it's earned. The musical numbers are full of life and feeling, beautifully acted and staged with energy and precision.

The show's timing is spot-on - the humor lands effortlessly, the drama doesn't take itself too seriously, and yet, somehow, the emotional punches still hit hard. It's clever, campy, and surprisingly heartfelt.

What really moved me was how the series reintroduced songs I had taken for granted. Tracks that used to play in the background of my childhood are now center stage, telling stories of heartbreak, empowerment, confusion, and love. It made me realize how much these songs have shaped my emotional memory, even when I didn't notice.

The performances are incredible. Each actress brings something unique - charisma, vulnerability, fire - and the chemistry between them makes every scene shine. It's clear they're having fun, and that fun is contagious.

Above all, Mentiras is a celebration. Of music. Of theater. Of pop culture. And of the messy, dramatic, hilarious ways we deal with love and betrayal. It reminded me that musical theater isn't just for the stage - it can live on the screen and still deliver magic.

If I could sum it up in one word: joy. That's what I felt watching this show. Pure, nostalgic, glittery joy. It gave old songs new meaning and gave me back the thrill of falling in love with a story - and a soundtrack - all over again.

"Mentiras, The Series" starts off strong: the first act is sharp, funny, and well-written, immediately pulling the viewer in. The second act keeps the momentum going, with episodes that balance humor and emotion effectively. Unfortunately, the third act, the final episode, is a major letdown. After so much buildup, the ending feels underwhelming and lacks the payoff the story seemed to promise.

Mariana Treviño and Diana Bovio absolutely steal the show. Their comedic timing and on-screen presence bring energy and charm to every scene. In contrast, Belinda delivers a weak, uninspired performance that doesn't quite fit with the rest of the cast.

The production is top-notch: the visual design, musical arrangements, and choreography are all beautifully done. It's a visually and musically rich experience. Sadly, it all leads to a finale that doesn't live up to the quality of the journey. A show with great potential that stumbles at the finish line.

This is a beautiful series based on a popular Mexican musical. The nostalgic music is wonderful, the sets are bright, and the acting is spectacular, especially Mariana Treviño's role where she retakes her role as Lupita the secretary from 16 years ago.

Luis Gerardo (the male protagonist and producer) took 6 years to make this dream a reality. And while watching it, and it feels like a dream: vibrant, gorgeous, crazy.

I love horror, action, but I'm picky with comedy and this has got to be my favorite show for 2025 (other than The Last of Us.) Im not even into pop or musicals. But this one is an instant re-watch.

This was a great adaptation; I loved seeing the best Mexican musical in a TV series.

I loved Belinda, a character made for her, and she did an excellent job in her role. I hadn't heard of Diana Bovio, and she was a spectacular surprise for me. Regina Blandón is a bit dull when it comes to acting and isn't a great singer, so it was too much Autotune with her voice. But the best of all was Mariana Trevino, what an excellent actress. Her character is super natural, fresh, and pleasant. She has a lot of charm and a spectacular voice. They could even make a series just about this character, and it would be a hit.

This show is a must if you love musicals and of course old Mexican ballads and pop.

Original, great singing and acting!!! Incredible and creative production. Love it!! I haven't seen something this original in a long time and would highly recommend it. There is something magical about it and I can't wait to finish seeing it, truly hope this is a continued series. Belinda does excellent, and the other actresses are also excellent, very talented women. The humor is also very good because it takes you into this fantasy world that makes you want to watch more. I think that if you like musicals and drama, this is a very unique choice. I have just started to watch it and love it!!!
