Tiempos de guerra

Interesting to look at how some Spanish people may view their past (very similar to the pro-aristocracy BS in Downton Abbey). Of course right wing nostalgia is back in vogue in both the UK and Spain....anyway it's still quite entertaining - particularly if you want something light..

Pro's: The characters are appealing. The story line is interesting. For the most part, the acting is pretty good. This isn't a deep, serious watch- even considering the subject matter. This was a historical situation I wasn't aware of, so I always appreciate cinema that spurs me on to learn more about what was going on. Con's: I would say the "getting together-breaking apart" aspect of the love story between Julia and Fidel got to comic proportions by the end.In fact, that seemed to be a common theme with ALL the romantic plot lines in the series and it was getting tiresome. That said, I hope there is a season 2. :)

Loved this show. Hope there is a season 2 :) I really enjoyed the acting, the story lines, the history, costumes and locations.

I have to thank Netflix for bringing such enjoyable content from this beautiful country. After my first foray into Spanish Series/Movies with Grand Hotel I have watched a lot of Spanish movies and shows and I must say they excel in bringing periods alive in their shows. Grand Hotel did it beautifully and this drama is a close second. The foremost thing these period drama's have managed is to bring a lot of emotions together with culture and a solid story.

As it is a fictional drama of course it is not complete factual retelling of actual history, but it's also not fluff. They cater to an intelligent, I would say mostly female audience, but an audience who like a dose of romance, suspense and also intelligent story telling and compelling dialogues. This exact mix has in my opinion been missing from most US content therefore filling the gap nicely. Highly recommend this drama.

Very entertaining. Good to learn Spanish. Great acting. I like the vibes eventhough they are predictable as in Las Chicas del Cable & Gran Hotel. Bring on season 2 please. I wanna see 3 weddings;)
