La famille Serrano

this show is more than good. Its NOT a soap with all flat characters and stupid and predictable situations. Its about a man who has two sons and a woman who has three daughters. When they get married, the worlds collide and you get hell of a lot fun and drama and action (well, not so much action). All the characters are more than unique and constant. The acting is brought to near perfection even by the youngest characters who seem to have a great future. The situations that the families and their friends get into are unique in every episode and what makes it interesting is that some problems stretch through 5 or 10 episodes and some get resolved right away. The show is beyond watchable. if you have the opportunity to follow the adventures of the family Serrano, do it. Its fun, dramatic, full of jokes and feelings. Again, its not a soap, its real acting, real situations, and all that in what is most important - a real world.

I think this is the best TV show ever. Comedy/drama/romance/whatever...Any on those genres will fit in every episode and always leaves you in a good spirit. Doesn't matter if you're a man or woman.

I think this has something to do with Spanish culture and natural charm of the Spanish people.

Me, personally I'm finnish and got addicted to the show while on summer holiday as hundreds of thousand more of us in Finland (at least dozens of people i know).

I'm sure i'll buy a DVD-compilation if i'll find one somewhere! Most definitely recommend!

After enjoying four seasons I can tell that this is one of the best series ever, though the writers has been slacking of as of recent. The best feature is the use of the language the way it's supposed to be, uncensored. Television rules are different in European countries. If you are a Spanish speaking person you'd have a blast watching this series. The elder actors and actresses are veteran Spanish talents. Closed caption is not available until the third season. Season six finished up, however the first half of season five just became available on DVD in Spain.

By the way, the DVD version of this series is only playable on PAL video. During the first seasons on DVD you could see behind the scenes, bloopers, etc. Seasons three and four only contains the main episodes.

This is not only the best new series of the year in Spain, it's also one of the best sitcoms of the last 5 years. The cast is superb, not only well chosen, but acts remarkably well (specially Belén Rueda, who keeps raising and raising as an actress).

One of the best things I can say about this series is that it truly has a universal humor in most of its contents, and I really mean it: A Chinese student living at my home loves the show even when she doesn't get all they're saying. A proof that the acting is very good and the funny things are a combination of spoken and visual jokes.

I definitely recommend it.

While it may be true that Los Serrano may not have the best writing of a sitcom ever, it contains some enigmatic element that makes it strangely addictive. The situations may be far-fetched and romances may be overplayed, but after one or two episodes, the viewer finds himself wanting to come back weekly, even for reruns of overplayed episodes.

At this point I'm torn as to whether Los Serrano should hurry up to get off the air before it gets much worse (this fourth season has been a downer in many ways) or to continue to feed my addiction. In any case, buy/rent the DVDs and watch the old ones even if it does go off the air.
