La otra mirada

I enjoyed this series very much and love Spanish period pieces, however the ending was very disappointing. I would have loved to see another season to fix the storyline for most characters.

Really enjoyed the acting and storyline of this series. Think it presented a very good snapshot of the 1920s attitudes and biases.

The acting was outstanding which also reflected a great absorbing writing talent and direction.

I have recorded some of the episodes and will go back to look at them again.

Without giving spoilers the 13th episode was a roller coaster of emotions with spectacular acting.

Great ability to draw the viewer in. Great translation at bottom of screen though tried to follow with my high school Spanish.

Was very disappointed to find there isn't a second season yet but hope one comes along and is picked up by PBS.

In spite of the fact that the series in in Spanish, so I had to read the subtitles, I think it is one of the most brilliant series I've ever watched!

There is so much to admire here: the intriguing plot with all its twists and turns, the outstanding cast, the sumptuous setting, the music, the clothing- all of it combines to be such a beautiful, mesmerizing, compelling series!

While there are a few main characters who draw our attention, the minor characters also add so much to this original and very creative series.

I have been unable to stop watching since I began because everything able the series has drawn me into the world of this wonderful school for girls in Saville. I've never been to Spain, yet I'm so completely drawn to these complex characters!

Please, please give us more! I want to know what happens to the school, to the students, to the teachers, and to my most favorite characters!

Do yourselves a favor and fall into the beautiful and complex world of this amazing, beautiful, complex series!!

This series appears to be made for a specific local audience. It has little to offer in the way of global interest. It is a period drama from Spin that deals with changing social mores in that country during the 1920s. Attached to this main premise is a loosely fabricated mystery. The acting is below average, with actors delivering their lines as though reading from cue cards or a teleprompter. The heavy industrial strength makeup for the actors makes them all look both garish and ghoulish. That has a most disturbing and most distracting visual impact. It is, as others have pointed out, a soap opera filled with feminist messages about strong women and overtones of communism. It is really not worth the effort to go much beyond episode 1!

PBS productions used to be synonymous with quality. No longer. While I realize this was purchased from abroad, it's another cheap soap opera, replete with an overly saccharine sound track and a clunky plot with clumsy misdirection. Lately PBS has served up a menu of tired murder mysteries and an unhappy blend of period pieces centering around current cultural issues. I'm tired of this erroneous interpretation of the past, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. How about giving us quality TV again -- series such as Brideshead Revisited, the Foresyte Saga, and I Claudius were outstanding. If I want this kind of fare, I can always watch Netflix.
