This show is about Edgardo Diaz, not Menudo. It's a piece of baked s**t. If I'd have found a 0 stars rating, I put it. Horrible acting, a stupid story. The worst.
I am sorry but this was horribly made. Horrible acting and dialogue. The casting was poorly done as well. I have to say I have never heard such horrible spanish... I barely understand what the boys are saying. The Menudos never spoke like that.... What is it with the absolutely awful wigs??? It was quite a distraction.
For such an iconic band and such a phenomenon, very little thought was put into the delivery of the story. The worst part of this is that the actual former members of Menudo said it never happened the way this series portrayed it.... not based on facts at all. I am extremely disappointed. I have been a fan of Menudo since 1982.
Ok. I absolutely have to say... they put on the boys the most HIDEOUS wigs I have ever seen in my life. The acting is sub-par....
I really liked the series, my family and I found ourselves carving every new episode, but the experience was definitely a mixed bag. Other users have commented on the wigs, which are awful, the bad acting and other technical problems as I have to concur. The technical aspects of the show are way below modern series.
There is one exception on this department that I have to mention because I think they really deserve it and it is costume design. I am not an expert but I lived in the 80's and I'm pleased with the variety and detail of most of the actors' wardrobe.
Other than that everything screams "low budget" and sometimes plain mediocrity.
Having said all of that I go back to my liking the series: I liked most of the kids acting, Joselo, Doña Peche, the young Mexican actresses but above all, the story (even though sometimes it was very poorly scripted).
I know my review is confusing and disorganized but that's just appropriate for how this series is story.
I liked it a lot but please don't do a second season.
What a wasted opportunity. I sat through all 15 episodes out of nostalgia, but it was very hard to watch past half the series when the story and character dynamics were getting tedious (and honestly I was a Menudo fan through the golden years but by the 90s I had stopped caring about the band). To the good: some of the young actors were spot on. And some of the costumes too very pretty close. Now the bad:
1) Good grief, yes the horrific wigs.
2) Regardless of year and country the scenario, lights, curtains and hand-made menudo sign in the background were exactly the same. The fan's hand-made signs also seemed to be the same through space and time. Backstage was also identical, whether they went in the US or Brazil. And also the administrative offices, even though they supposedly moved. Really? Do they think the viewers won't notice?
3) The secondary tele-novelesque story was, imho, unnecessary. If they wanted to show the fan's side, it could have been done without the drama.
4) acting was pretty bad-but maybe it was the direction. The kids could barely sync their lips or dance moves.
I wonder if they cut corners because the majority of the audience would be Latin. Regardless, what a shame.
