I know telenovelas have a bad reputation for some weird reason, but as I was watching this, I realized that I didn't even feel like I was watching a series most of the time. It felt so rich and well- crafted...movie-like, and epic. In a way, like a modern version of a Roots-like tale. Very well done. The acting was perfect, I was completely immersed. Yes, of course, it's a Colombian telenovela, so the characters are over-the-top at times, but it's not even noticeable. La Esclava Blanca is AMAZING. The characters are fleshed-out, the story is realistic, and it's gritty. There are crazy moments, but they are few and far between. During episode 4 (I think), there was a certain scene at the end of the episode that made me think DAMN, this man needs an Oscar or some sort of recognition. Completely spoiler-free: this show is something else entirely. If you haven't watched it yet, you're missing out. I'm a film production major, and the production was MARVELOUS. Watch now.
If you are into history, you would love this show. I am so addicted to it and the actors are absolutely phenomenal.

I just got through Binge-watching this series, and all I can say is WOW! I must say it is by far one of the BEST drama series I have watched in a long time! I didn't even mind watching the subtitles. You never knew what was going to happen from one episode to the next, and the characters surprised you too. I'm so glad everything came together in the end; what can I say? I'm an incurable romantic at heart. Kudos to the writing team, originality is a plus, and I absolutely loved the story-line, and I love how love overcame evil in the end. You know how the saying goes, and its true in real-life "the longer it takes, the harder they fall." This Nicolas character made made J.R. from Dallas look like Mary Poppins! I just love the characters Miguel and Victoria and then Trinidad and Remedios... I don't know what I am going to watch now! What do you watch after that?!!! lol

I am often bored with TV shows, and when I found this I became immersed! It is so well crafted and I was left feeling every emotion along with each actor. I love finding gems like these! This show is AMAZING. What am I supposed to watch now?!!!
This is a great story about a young woman in Colombia during the Colonial period who is raised by escaped slaves, eventually makes her way to Spain when the escaped slave colony is overrun and then returns to Colombia hoping to reunite with her slave family and the boy she loved as a child. So although she is white, she identifies with her black family who raised her. This shows the horrors of slavery in the Americas in often pretty gruesome ways. The lead actors - Victoria/Lucia, Nicolas, Miguel, Thomas, Milagros etc - are great. The story has lots of subplots and you see the various dimensions of the characters because this story unfolds over so many episodes. I loved the scenery and the haciendas where the story takes place. Did not like the costumes much, especially the dresses of the ladies which sometimes looked like rejects from a 1970s thrift shop. That was the only jarring note and why I gave it an 8. The lead actress is very beautiful. She will go far I'm sure. Still watching so not sure how it will all end, but really enjoying it!
