La casa de las flores

The vibrantly art-directed scenes, spicy plot lines, catchy tunes and deliciously colorful characters make this show a feast for the senses. Manolo Caro IS the Mexican Almodovar- irreverent and campy, his stories are graced with juicy, flawed, strong-willed women. Veronica Castro as the matriarch is at once perfectly put together and a perfect mess. You are rooting for her from the moment you meet her. But Cecilia Suarez as the quirky Paulina de la Mora steals the show hands down. She's the glue that keeps the family together, and she does so with elegance, humor, compassion and a whole lotta mischief. Her iconic drawl is both endearing and addictive- watch it in Spanish if you can! I haven't felt this excited about a character since Mary Louise Parker as Nancy Botwin on Weeds. THANK YOU NETFLIX! Please bring us season 2!

Desperate Housewives but with Chili con Carne. You must watch it if possible in Spanish.

My God, a new series not based on serial homicide or sci-fi? What a great surprise this is. I've learned to stop reading reviews before watching something - and this is the reason why!

Take a chance and watch it. In it's original Spanish language format. The voices need to be heard in their natural tone and cadence.

Bravo, Netflix!!

Veronica Castro was the biggest Mexican telenovela star from the late 70's to the 80's. I was so thrilled to see her on a Netflix show, so I have to watch it. I grew up watching her telenovelas, and she's still an amazing actress. This series is the typical telenovela, with family secrets, the ultra rich, the poor, lies, etc, but with more 2018's themes.

Season 1 is great - humor, plot, characters, Mexican peculiarities, but the second one is here just for your money. Don't waste your time and ignore it. 8 for the first one, 5 for the second
