Señora Acero

I binge watched the show even though I found the violence a bit over the top! Blanca Soto, what an actress! I think the producers struggled after her death because the starting episodes of season 3 are weak and if you're one of the loyal fans, you'll still be mourning Sara until the show picks up again, which it does. Brilliant performances by Jorge Zarate, Michel Duval, and Carolina Miranda, my favourites throughout, besides Sara. All in all I enjoyed the series and I would watch it over and over again if there weren't so many series on Netflix now. Kudos to you Roberto Stopello for creating such an unforgettable show!

I don't speak Spanish. So glad the show has subtitles. I started watching after I finished Celia, the Grand Hotel, and The Lord of the Skies. The segments are fun to watch, and I just can't help but count the number of times the actors state, "¿Que?" I also can't believe that Telenova only had Blanca Soto sign only a two year contract! I doubt she will amazingly come back from the dead, but who really knows? One of the most beautiful women on Television, without a doubt!

The absolute worst acting on the show was by "Teca." Every time someone was after him, I tried to yell at them, "He's in the next room." Too bad his baseball career ended. He was a much better pitcher than actor.

Watching these telenovelas in seasons of 70-90 episodes is what I really like. Lots of action, romance, and sex. Even though all of it starts with the guys shirt being pulled over his head, and the women all having sex, but with their bras on, or getting out of the sack, post coitus wearing bras and panties, must represent a new way of getting naked like everyone else does?..

Fun show to watch. I completely enjoy viewing it. Very addictive.show!

I watched the whole story beginning to season 4 and it was beautiful story even after they added Carolina Miranda as the coyote which was okay. I just lost interest during season 5 the story was too dark and uncertain. I think the minute Blanca Soto was killed as the main character in the first place the producers struggle to keep the audience but it was good until end of Season 4.

Mexican Star/Model/Producer, 5ft 10ins Blanca Soto headlines this gripping series about the Drug Cartels in Mexico, and I learned (perhaps more than I ever wanted to) about the inhuman culture and thought processes of the Kingpins and their Cartel members.

Example(s): Don't get married, other Cartels will kidnap your wife, ditto with your kids or even a full time girlfriend; whatever your weak spot is, the Cartels will exploit it - so stay in the Ranch House, just like a gang - drink and rent girls as and when. No problemo. Loyalty is an absolute, step out of line and you're dead. Simple.

At times overly violent and bloody, Blanca gives a great performance becoming the Lady Boss after an unfortunate event, and whatever the men can do, she'll show that she can do it better and more profitable.

Long series, about 170 odd episodes and you'll need to use the CC at times, although a lot of English is also used. So sit back, enjoy the wild and bullet-ridden ride; they don't make them like this anymore.

IF you liked this Telenovela, check out 'The Mafia Dolls' (Las Munecas de la Mafia) next. Just as good with a different twist.

Good entertainment for a while, each season is different. some actors and actresses are very charismatique, some are annoying and look SO PLASTIC like the Venezuelan woman police/criminal, so BAD! her breathing technique is the worse I have ever seen, before each word is like vomiting and she seems like a real unhappy plastic china doll. On the 5th season the actor who plays the Teca is horrid! his voice is annoying as well as his acting. Yet some actors are full of charisma and make this soap a fun one to have in the background while cleaning the house.
