The show premiered two weeks ago in the U.S., dubbed in Spanish, and I must say, it really blow me away. The characters are real, yet some act incompetent (e.g. Rolando). However, "Uga Uga" is very funny and original with a good storyline, good writing, and the best actors ever to fit the character roles. Since its airing, I, as well as many others, have tuned in every night to see what happens to our loved characters, and with each episode, the story gets more exciting. So it's common for everyone to tune in and watch. It's so popular that "Telemundo", my fave Spanish news network, talks about the show almost every night. For example, what we fanatics think of it. "Uga Uga" gained a lot of viewers and many like it so much that some are willing to dress up like Tatuapu (the main character), with the whole loin cloth thing and wearing a blond wig. Believe me, it's a great show to watch. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a show with humor, wit, and something out of the ordinary. In comparison to American soap operas, "Uga Uga" isn't your average, every day one. It's a show worth seeing, and someday, it can be considered one of the classics, like "Xica". So, if you want a soap opera that's realistic, yet hilarious, I recommend you watch this one. It'll make you laugh all the way to the end.
Who said that a soap-opera must be dramatic? In this Brasilian soap, one can not stop laughing all the way!! Good script, good acting and... good girls. It's the confirmation of the new blood of the Brasilian actors and i think that we will hear soon about Mariana Ximenes,Ângelo Paes Leme, Danielle Winits and Nívea Steinmann. Watch out the nonsense jokes of characters like dona Pierina(played by veteran Nair Bello) and Nikos Karabastos( played by the Brazilian living-legend Lima Duarte).Truly unmissable!!
"Uga Uga" is a blast of fun! It is High Camp at its best, and you don't need to know Portuguese or Spanish to appreciate the humor (all the (literally) half-naked men!). I have fun just trying to figure out why the characters are doing what they're doing. Why is the pretty girl dressed in a wedding gown, running after the cute guy in the glasses? Why is the Scientist running around with very little clothes on, and why does he appear to be psychic? All this and much more await you in "Uga Uga". Don't miss it!
I had so much fun with this soap opera, I saw it twice and I laughed the second time just as much as the 1st time. There is so much kindness among each family member. Lots of romance. My husband watched it with me. This was our time together, My husband enjoy it too he didn't miss a night,, it has enough entertainment for both gender, beautiful women in string bikinis, great body. Men who are not only good looking, have great body but are very sensitive. If by any chance we were going to be miss it, which we did everything we could to be laying in our bed at 10:00 pm to watch it, we would tape it. It was a wonderful experience. we enjoy Spanish soap opera but it's was always the same thing, the bad person, the virgin girl who everybody hates, a lot of suffering throughout the whole soap opera and at the end the leading man stays with the leading lady, like if we didn't know that was going to happen. bad people die, etc, etc... watch it, you'll love it....
All the comments have been so right! The show is awesome! Funny, mysterious, absorbing! You do not need to understand the dubbed Spanish of this Brazilian soap to appreciate the actions of the characters. Much old and new talent blend together to keep you coming back to next episodes for more! Though Claudio Heinrich, Humberto Martins, and Lima Duarte steal the show, all of the actors shine through becoming special and beloved! Take a break, sit through an episode or two, and you'll become a fan too!
