Camelia La Texana

I stumbled upon the premiere of this show with English subtitles quite by accident, but I'm so glad I did because now I'm completely hooked. It's mad - it's like Breaking Bad gone completely bonkers.

Sara Maldonado is perfect as the sweet and innocent romantic turned ruthless hellcat, and Erik Hayser is equally engaging as beastly cad Emilio.

As more and more high camp power-hungry monsters are introduced into the story it's getting to be like a crazy and deadly game of chess, with a Shakespearean excess of frenzied plotting and scheming.

I think it's broadcasting until May so if you have a chance to catch up I think it's well worth it. I wish we had more English language shows like this.

After finishing Reina del Sur, I did not think anything can come even close, Camelia exceeded my expectations and by episode 5 I found myself totally hooked! Sara Maldonado is perfect as the title role and is very convincing. The show plays like a great drama series and does not have a lot of the over the top dramatics of the average novela...The best part is the the 60 episodes was a journey full of unexpected twists and and turns. By the time I got to episode 50 I was starting to get sad that it was coming to and end...I wish there was a Season 2! ... Long live Camelia la Texana.... #saramaldonadofan4life
