Cobras e Escadas

I only became familiar with Cecilia Suarez and Juan Pablo Medina, in La Casa de las Flores, possibly the series which in my opinion formally introduced Mexican productions to the rest of world, especially to us here in South Africa.

Seeing Cecilia Suarez and Juan Pablo Medina working together again since House of Flowers was well needed!

The producers of Snakes and Ladders, went and added Marimar Vega! I only recently started seeing her work too. Pact of Silence!

3 powerhouse performers. I think that the production team have gone and created, thee Dream Team!!

We need more from them!

I will definitely be hoping for a second season!!

Snakes and Ladders has its own, unique style and very entertaining characters that will keep you hooked until the last episode. If you enjoyed Casa de Las Flores and other Manolo Caro shows, you are probably going to like this one.

Fun, excellent production, entangled stories and an intelligent script that sets it apart from telenovelas and American soap dramas.

If you are not convinced by the plot, give a chance to the talented cast and the charismatic presence of Cecilia Suarez and the actress who plays "Martha Sanchez" working together. There could be a whole Netflix comedy show just with those two.

This series is one of the new genre of Mexican mini-soaps, like House of Flowers. Even though it uses many of the same actors to portray similar quirky characters, it is nowhere as good as House of Flowers or any of the others from the same writer and Director. The audio track is poor and the dialog is difficult to hear. The humor falls flat and the story just seems to be a silly one. It needs more meat on the bones as there's barely a story here!

This director and writer always does the same thing, Use homosexual scenes to convince his frustrated lifestyle. He want to be the new "Almodovar" but always fails, he always makes mediocre and unfunny things, nor does he fulfill the objective of the genre he wants to make.

Most of the acting feels fake and I don't think it's their fault, but rather the film's director's.

Having great actors who have had good reviews in these movies or series are a separate issue and they do it so differently, they don't look comfortable.

I hope it improves over time, because it has had opportunities in America and Europe.

Having an inside look into the wealthy society of Mexico, for the first time a production of my country takes place in another location of Mexico out of the capital city, Guadalajara. The cast was perfect, all of the actors and actresses, specially the lead one, make an exceptional work in portraying their characters and making them enjoyable and in ocations, funny. Combining the satirical-comedic-dramatic- and political genres, the series capture a very good aura. It also has a good soundtrack and a very well-included social diversity. It was also refreshing to see familiar faces like Benny Emmanuel, Loreto Peralta, Michelle Rodríguez, Marimar Vega, and Luis Felipe Tovar, as part of the cast. A very good Mexican production. If you don't have any kind of social prejudice, I recommend you to watch it.
