Envieuse

This show is an absolute gem. I love the script, the actors, everything is relatable, every character is someone you most probably know in real life. The main character is not meant to be liked - she has many flaws, but that's exactly the point. Her behavior, her contradictions, the way she interacts with people - it's raw, real, and sometimes painfully accurate. It doesn't try to sugarcoat anything or present idealized versions of people. It just shows them as they are.

The familiarity brought me very close to the Argentinian culture, and I love it. Even though I'm not from Argentina, there's something universally human in the way relationships are portrayed - the messy family dynamics, the social awkwardness, the emotional chaos. It felt like home.

The humor is subtle, dark at times, but never forced. The pacing is also great - not rushed, not dragged - just enough to let moments breathe. The side characters add so much texture to the story. They're not just background noise; they have their own depth and arcs, which makes the whole thing more immersive.

It's not often that a show makes me feel both seen and uncomfortable in the best way. That's rare. Fingers crossed for a third season!

It's fun and you get a few laughs out of it, but don't expect to root for the insufferable protagonist or most of the characters. Most people here are horrible. Cheating, lying, meddling, breaking people's heart is just very normal and natural to almost everyone.

I have to say, though, that that is not the reason for me not to give a higher score. Those are the characters personalities and that is not what dictates if a show is good or not. I just think the show is okay, but there is still a lot of room to grow, especially considering recent Argentine shows such as Viudas Negras and Division Palermo.

If you are a fan of romantic comedies this show is definitely for you. Like old classics such as "The Awful Truth", "When Harry Met Sally" or new classics like "To All the Boys I Loved Before", it's filled with amazing comic timing, romance and great chemistry. It's got plenty of twists and surprises that are refreshing and somehow keep u guessing. You think you what happens next, but then the writer will one up you and you'll laugh hysterically. Somehow it makes it more believable bc life is more unpredictable than most Netflix shows. What really sets this show apart is how heartfelt it is. I cried just about as much as I laughed. You fall in love w the main character along with her costar. There was this one amazing scene that I watched 5 times. I've never done that before but as a fan of film and television, I was astounded by the impeccable portrayals and the writing. Nothing was in excess. Nothing was lacking. It was the perfect declaration. The one Jane Austen wld pen today if she was a modern author. Pls watch this and fall in love with romantic comedies again.

I started watching the series without many expectations, but halfway through the first episode, I was hooked, and it seemed brilliant. Griselda is an impressive actress, and she shines the most in the comedic scenes. The rest of the cast is flawless, and the characters are very well-written. The writing is also worth highlighting-it's one of those series where you can easily recognize different friends or family members in the characters you see on screen. The attention to detail in the storytelling and the balance between humor and drama make it a truly enjoyable experience. Each episode keeps you wanting more, and it's hard not to binge-watch the entire series.

Maybe it is just the incredible talent of the writers and the female lead to give life and shape to such a horrible, self-absorbed, selfish, insensitive, revolting person. The show is otherwise great, the cast is brilliant, wonderful production values, the writing is solid, Esteban Lamothe's character is dreamy etc. However, into episode 8 I just cannot stomach the female protagonist anymore. There is also something old-fashioned and disturbing about a 40-something middle-class woman in Buenos Aires desperate to get married. I cannot watch the show any longer. I can't stand Vicky, her tantrums, her first-world emotional problems (she may live in Argentina but she's an insufferable emotional Karen). Hasta aquí llego.
