Do yourself a favor and watch this masterpiece. This series is an emotional rollercoaster. If all the friendships were like the one Manual and Erik has, the world would be a much better place. A series about traditions, values, acceptance, love, and friendship. The two young actors who play Erik and Manual, are amazing. They definitely need an award. The series also is colorful, and shows many beautiful sceneries. Every episode is full of surprises, new emotions and new stories. Watch it on Netflix. It shows pure love and sacrifices among two friends that they are willing to do anything for each other and protect and support eachother all the way in life!!!
Direction, good. Acting, expecially from the kids, was really excellent. You never see this level from kids. I use to like series based in México and produced there, but this one really stands alone for its plot, the way It develops, sensitivity; without talking about gangs, narcos (we already had a bunch of shows like that) but still showing something real, a story involving common people in a place that Is not Cdmx nor Cancún or the northern border with Usa. You may find yourself understanding what will happen slowly, step by step, in a way that resembles more literature than tv shows. Most of all, It Is really well written. I think It is one of the best Netflix TV series right now, surely something to watch.
Right out of the gate this story amazed.
A story line that isn't the usual expectations on regular streaming services.
Full of suspense, intrigue, fear, courage and excitement with a little bit of honest and heartfelt emotion thrown in, to keep things spicy.
One of the best stories I have ever watched. The story had me hooked from the first few moments.
A story line so unexpected I'm amazed Netflix would have ever approved funding for, let alone production of this type of drama.
This has everything a story needs to be entertaining. Above all of this, the sincere, touching emotion of this is way beyond compare.
The actors, both young and old did an exceptional job telling the story.
What a wonderful story...I hope everyone will take the time to watch this, as it is exceptional.

For me, certainly one of the ten best series seen in a long time. The actors, both children and adults, are excellent and very touching.
The story is unusual and gripping, it is told in a very simple way, without all the usual clichés about Mexico, and the discovery of this world and its very special culture fascinates and makes you think. I recommend the original version with subtitles to enjoy the nuances of the language and voices.
It is a pure masterpiece that carries very high and very far the values of friendship, respect, compassion, beauty, patience and perseverance... You may need some tissues at some moments, not included here. ;-)

This was an amazing series although its short but full of mysteries, crime, drama, adventure and love , the characters specially @Mauro Guzman and @Frida Santos REALLY FITS as the young characters for the series, The one who chose them as the cast for this series must be proud. The story is about friendship with gender equality. This series I won't forget and always wanted to watch again and again. I also now wanted to study Spanish language its amazing. Hope there be next series for @Mauro Guzman I can't wait for it. The cast especially Jacinto, he really carried me by his actions am starting to hate him, also Rafaela, Ana, Carmen are goooood actress's.
