La otra mirada

Just finished watching season 1. Love the clothe, story line. Amazing cast. Loved how season 1 ended. Major twist on who killed Tersa's dad. Now I need to see what happens next. So upset that I can't find season 2 anywhere. Here on this app I can only find pictures of each episode of season 2.

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.

This is basically a soap opera infused with hamfisted and predictable feminist messages. There are some interesting characters and storylines, but very little to make you think or keep you guessing. In fact, in order to make certain you are thinking exactly what the director wants you to think, the melodramatic soundtrack gives very clear signals. The show has all the pieces present to make possible an amazing series, but is content to lead the viewer around by the nose and use tried and true clichés. At over one hour per episode, there was plenty of time to go deep. As with any foreign series, you do learn things about the country of origin.

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.

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.
