One of the funniest Latin American productions that come to mind. The story follows the (mis)adventures of a group of brokers working at the Bogota Stock Exchange in the mid 90s. Absolutely hilarious and a complete departure from other programs released by Latin American networks. Characters are realistically flawed and humorous and the show addresses many issues otherwise absent from mainstream Latin entertainment, such as domestic violence.

Particularly fine performances by Margarita Rosa de Francisco, Nicolas Montero and Alejandra Borrero.

Watch it if you have the chance. You will not regret it.

Very interesting and well acted story, dealing with family ties and obligations as well as ecological and industrial concerns in present day Mexico. I was particularly impressed by the beauty of the scenery in this novela,which was filmed on location in Mazatlan, as well as by the acting involved. One of Angelica Rivera's finest performances, and a great showcase of the late Eduardo Palomo's talents. With its great story, fast pace and good acting, I would probably rate Huracan in the top 10 novelas I've ever seen.

The DVD version released by ALterFilms was also rather well done, unlike previous releases that received the hatchet treatment. Highly recommended.

A fast paced story dealing with topics rarely addressed by the telenovela genre, such as toxic waste dumping, corruption and psychological trauma. Both protagonists do an incredible job portraying their respective characters, and have the support of an awesome cast. I watched this novela initially, when I was fourteen years old, and unlike many of the shows/ movies I re-watched as an adult, this production has stood the test of time. I would also add that unlike many other novelas, this particular one is fairly short (approx. 60 episodes) and thus the story is fresh and straightforward, without the unrealistic twists and turns often used in the genre as a way of prolonging the show. Highly recommended.
