Érase una vez... pero ya no

I watched much of it with either a smile on my face or my mouth agape. A fantastic fairytale told in a true Latin fashion. Hyper saturated colors and romantically staged settings. Greed, infidelity, Spanish operatic musical numbers, lots of nudes, sex and a blue dragon told with a healthy dollop of absurdity. What's not to like?

Woke version of Galavant meets Once Upon a Time....in a Spanish-speaking region First episode is good, however the middle part (ep 3& 4) are really dull, the musical parts that's in a different place/scenes actually brought down the show not adding to it, weak choreography with classic/well-known songs Too many characters and too many back and forth and the musicals in 30 minutes episodes, my head is spinning. The best part is the CGI dragon and Diego's silly tops that show off his body The show needs to choose if it wants to be Galavant or Once Upon a Time but not both, I guess the budget didn't allow that. The castle looks small and claustrophobic.

Spanish TV is well known for not being inclusive and not including people of color in their telenovelas , movies, or media in general, especially as main characters. Now, there is a Black protagonist and I browsed IMDB to find info on who she is and there's no picture of her!

... they can't be very bright. It's very easy to follow, it's just telling two stories at once. I found it really good fun that doesn't take itself too seriously.

Most of the singers are very talented. Sebastian Yatra needs to stick to regueton. His acting is atrocious and his voice does not compare to the rest of the singers. Story has its funny parts but it's all over the place. Asier is amazing as always. And the woman are very good too. The music is the thing I enjoyed most of the whole show. Not a show that all audiences will enjoy.
