45 Revoluciones

I grew up in Southern Spain. My dialect is different however I can understand Madrid Spanish very well. It seems that the sound people speeded up the dialog. The actors are good but they speak so fast that it's hard to follow. Bad voice mixing.

The acting in this show is pretty good but the bad guys: Record company head honcho, card juror, bride-to-be's mom are very hammy. I like the story and interesting characters but the music choices are cheesy and too 21st century to work in this 60's format (WTF Hey Soul Sister & Let Her Go!) it's a shame producers didn't follow 'Velvet' series to create almost authentic, original music from that era. I'm on episode 4 but feeling addicted enough to binge-watch the whole lot. Spanish dramas are the best.

I'm sure Madrid has an amazing music history from the time of the revolution - but there was no evidence of this here. The choice of cigarettes and even the furniture gave it all away.

Didn't feel anything from this quasi-"period drama": characters were weak, storyline vacant, and styling/aesthetic was a disaster- at least they could have placed budget on authentic hairstyling and wardrobe - but it felt like a poor effort of a fancy dress party in Marbella...

Music is a powerful narrative, and I'm disappointed that the first episode wasn't held together by an astounding soundtrack from the era.

Even I noticed the mum's haircut was totally out of place.. and in the 60s, they didn't speak like this.. the script is too artificial- and that's coming from a giri..

Maybe it's SGAE, maybe it's the labels or maybe I've just seen too many good quality period dramas on Netflix... but this didn't hit the spot

Pa the Yamaha logo on the piano in episode 2 is classic rookie error

Someone said in a review, why couldn't they try and be authentic? Why didn't they try and produce something like Velvet?

I was so taken with the beginning of the show...until "Robert" started singing: WTF! This music wasn't about for another 40+ years in 1962! Nothing to do with the early 1960s when the Beatles changed the music young people listened to. Why couldn't they have tried to create some original sound tracks in the style of the 60s music?

And Robert's hairstyle - again, nothing anybody would've been seen with in the early 1960s when the Beatles set the trend with their haircuts too.

I've only watched episode 1 and a bit of episode 2 but I'm going to give the rest of this series a miss. The creators must be thinking that viewers are stupid....or are they aiming at viewers in their 20s and 30s assuming they have never heard of the 1960s?

Such a disappointment!

I consider it is a very vast series, that has the music on its centre. You see how Spain during Franco's dictatorship was, how that influenced in the concert's rooms, on the radio with the censorship or with Eurovision contest... However, the richest is the relation between Robert-Maribel-Guillermo, that creates the opportunity to progress to others stories equally interesting, with others characters developed, has Zabala, Ángeles, Fanny, Maribel's family, etc. It is curious to understand the differences between Maribel's and Robert's familiar context, or the interventions of the government, or the action of the music enterprises with Mr. Alfredo e Mr. Vidal. Everything it is related with music, and the music is the centre of this narrative that shows how to follow your dreams, to love intensely, the importance of have really true friends, and never forget the love to rock and roll!
