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.

Antena 3 has done it again. I can't believe some of the negative reviews I have read about this show. I admit I wasn't as hooked after the first episode like I was Gran Hotel or Velvet, but this show has a fantastic cast with great chemistry.

Maybe part of my fascination is my lack of knowledge of Spanish political history. I really enjoy learning about other cultures, especially in The beautiful and enthralling avenu of Spanish tv drama. Yes the 60s have been covered in multiple facets, but I think the political context in this point in time in Spain is a refreshing experience of the decade of revolution.

I love this series! I heard about not reaching enough audience on television, but now people are using streaming channels like netflix to watch their favorite shows. The quality and realism of this story is way better than La casa de papel or Las Chicas del Cable.

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!

Another great Spanish show from Atresmedia. I was hooked from the first episode, something that didn't happen to me with Velvet or Chicas del Cable. The character of Guillermo Rojas is multidimensional and you learn more about him each episode. Although I am a fan of popular actresses like Blanca Suarez, Amaia Salamanca, and Marta Hazas, it was nice to see a fresh face like Guiomar Puerta as Maribel. I had never heard of Carlos Cuevas before either, but he did a great job as Robert. Maribel and Robert are similar to the main couples you may see in many Spanish shows, but their performances won't leave you bored. The visuals were very creative-I like the split screen effect they often use. I'll admit that I wasn't expecting to her songs like "Hey Soul Sister", "Let Her Go", or "Bad Romance" in a show that's supposed to be set in 1962. It would've been cool if they created songs just for this show or used songs from that time period, but overall their music choices weren't too distracting. Definitely give this a shot, even if you aren't usually into Spanish shows. In the US, shows just don't have this kind of vibe.
