I love Jenni Rivera. She's a goddess!! But this series kinda sucks :/ some of the acting is ok but dam n at the beginning of the series there's a lot of kissing. Like they are obsessed with kissing. It gets kind of annoying. Everything else is ok.

Jenni Rivera 's life was very well portrayed in this " novela". My only criticism is the end, not everyone knows what happened to the Mariposa de Barrio after boarding that plane. The dialogues were very repetitive what gave a very slow pace to this series but otherwise, quite touching .

I didn't know much about Jenni Rivera or her music before watching this show, I am truly addicted.

If you are a true fan of novelas and you want to know more about this lovely lady you must watch. If you think they're over acting...well you must not know novelas. It's just perfect! This is a great series that touches on all of Jenni Riveras ups and downs in her life. She suffered and triumphed tremendously with her family's unwavering love and support. A must watch!

This story is well played by the actors chosen. I can relate to it to so much as I was also a teen mother in an abusive relationship. Many people might be able to learn a thing or two. I highly recommended. Well done

I do not speak Spanish, but I binged watch this entire show by reading the subtitles lol. I have a new love for Jenni Rivera after watching! Truly an inspiration. 91 episodes is a lot, but I loved every bit!

First of all, I will say that I'm sure that Jenni Rivera herself went through a lot. It's not easy escaping an abusive relationship and then accomplish what she has. I will say though that I used to watch this when I was maybe 18-20 I think? From my recollection it featured a lot of crying and drama which gets very repetitive and very tiresome. I'm not completely sure if it portrays Jenni's story perfectly.

It's hard to watch not just because of the subject matter, but also because it didn't interest me that much as a telenovela.

(Jenni Rivera will forever be an artist that is remembered for her work and for helping others.)

I was so excited to see this series anddddd lowkey disappointed. The storyline, setting, and direction was great but honestly the acting of some of these actors is horrible. Too much overacting and reading lines so stale. You will see within the first five minutes when you see Uriel de toro act you will most definitely want to switch the tv off and regret the free moments of life you won't get back! Surprisingly the younger cast is decent but this really is a good show would be great if they spent more money and got real actors. Acting is reading lines but true performance is connecting with the lines.

Mariposa de barrio is a story or series based on the life of the singer Jeni Rivera, from the same perspective as the family, something that I find interesting and at the same time a little controversial, since we will not know how true or realistic that reality may be.

In my personal opinion, it is a series that attracts women more than men, specifically because of the type of content it has and that often becomes more repetitive drama than anything specific.

Rescuing at the same time that it has some episodes that promise a lot and they only stay at that, because being a series that has a certain argument or concepts related to a character that has a particular market, it will not totally catch everyone who is looking for something more. Or learn a little of its mystery.

I recommend seeing it with a medium or low level of expectation, because although it has many performances I feel that personally I don't get caught up in everything.

Such an Amazing series, on Netflix trending right now as well. Recommend it 100%. Intense , passionate , unique and transformative. Also unexpected. Perfect Cast , Wow! Acting is highly expressive. Jenni Rivera such a strong courageous, incredibly beautiful , in and out Woman. I love the wardrobe make up hair , the script is so captivating , seamless , Consistently Outstanding. Seen it many times all my friends and family as well. Relatable , real , must watch you guys ! You won't regret it. Unique.

Wow the trials and tribulations of the Rivera family begening in the 80s never a dull moment I'd have to say, based on true events that's what got my attention as far as my Spanish goes I'm an ametuer enthusiast, pero estoy aprendiendo! Until recently I was not famillar with Jenni Rivera I watch Spanish language novelas/series from time to time for me it's the best show since Reyna del Flow wich I would recommend also.
