For all the reasons, Lilybeth Rasonable, head of GMA Entertainment Group has screwed Abot Kamay na Pangarap big time on plot twists, progression, as well as the plot, but Widows' War gave this an exception.

"WIDOWS' WAR" is considered by press people as a trilogy to the Widows' Web, and Royal Blood.

There's raw feelings what is happening, like actresses laying the blame on each other, and sluggish approach just like other shows as "Ika-5 Utos", "Ika-6 na Utos", "Impostora" (both 2007 and 2017 versions), "Babaeng Hampaslupa", "Ina, Kapatid, Anak", and more.

The progression of Widows' War has considered a blazing point. It acknowledges Widows' War has better progression than AKNP and Asawa ng Asawa Ko.

It is what it is. A rare Rasonable W.

Bea Alonzo and Carla Abellana delivered their finest performances in this series, and the casting director made an excellent decision in pairing them as friends, as their on-screen chemistry was absolutely flawless. Okay! So, the first few seasons were directed by the acclaimed filmmaker Zig Dulay before the show transitioned to a different creative team. From then on, the storyline took an unexpected turn, introducing numerous twists and character arcs, many of which felt unnecessary! Hope he didn't left this baby of his.

One of the show's biggest drawbacks too was its poor CGI, bad wigs, particularly the controversial green screen finale (I hope they fix this before the Netflix rerun). Throughout the series, several visual effects fell short, from poorly photoshopped old photographs to unrealistic CGI depictions of fire, blood, and flying crows.

Another major flaw in this series was Jeric Gonzales' lackluster performance, I mean, More workshops please? Huhu. On the other hand, Jean Garcia was a revelation, embodying a villain reminiscent of Claudia Buenavista, the kind you absolutely love to hate. Her performance was mesmerizing, capturing the intensity of a K-drama antagonists. She was undeniably the show's standout, elevating every scene she was in.
