Antena 3 has done it again. I can't believe some of the negative reviews I have read about this show. I admit I wasn't as hooked after the first episode like I was Gran Hotel or Velvet, but this show has a fantastic cast with great chemistry.

Maybe part of my fascination is my lack of knowledge of Spanish political history. I really enjoy learning about other cultures, especially in The beautiful and enthralling avenu of Spanish tv drama. Yes the 60s have been covered in multiple facets, but I think the political context in this point in time in Spain is a refreshing experience of the decade of revolution.

The acting in this show is pretty good but the bad guys: Record company head honcho, card juror, bride-to-be's mom are very hammy. I like the story and interesting characters but the music choices are cheesy and too 21st century to work in this 60's format (WTF Hey Soul Sister & Let Her Go!) it's a shame producers didn't follow 'Velvet' series to create almost authentic, original music from that era. I'm on episode 4 but feeling addicted enough to binge-watch the whole lot. Spanish dramas are the best.

I'm sure Madrid has an amazing music history from the time of the revolution - but there was no evidence of this here. The choice of cigarettes and even the furniture gave it all away.

Didn't feel anything from this quasi-"period drama": characters were weak, storyline vacant, and styling/aesthetic was a disaster- at least they could have placed budget on authentic hairstyling and wardrobe - but it felt like a poor effort of a fancy dress party in Marbella...

Music is a powerful narrative, and I'm disappointed that the first episode wasn't held together by an astounding soundtrack from the era.

Even I noticed the mum's haircut was totally out of place.. and in the 60s, they didn't speak like this.. the script is too artificial- and that's coming from a giri..

Maybe it's SGAE, maybe it's the labels or maybe I've just seen too many good quality period dramas on Netflix... but this didn't hit the spot

Pa the Yamaha logo on the piano in episode 2 is classic rookie error

Is this series dubbed to english, when watching this on Netflix I get the feeling that it is dubbed

I grew up in Southern Spain. My dialect is different however I can understand Madrid Spanish very well. It seems that the sound people speeded up the dialog. The actors are good but they speak so fast that it's hard to follow. Bad voice mixing.
