The story of Menudo is very interesting, and that is what keeps this series together. There are serious script problems, poor rhythm and the acting of most of the cast is not really good. Anyway, none of that is relevant when compared to the wigs. I felt sorry for the kids actors that had to wear those things on their heads.

This show is about Edgardo Diaz, not Menudo. It's a piece of baked s**t. If I'd have found a 0 stars rating, I put it. Horrible acting, a stupid story. The worst.

Ok. I absolutely have to say... they put on the boys the most HIDEOUS wigs I have ever seen in my life. The acting is sub-par....

Manager sold this fake story where he made sure his hated members look horrible. Ros as "-tok good for the band" René as the show off, vain and ungrateful, Ruben as the drug dealer. Listen people, no blame no shame to the kiddos, there had a team of adults who supposed to "supervise" them. Manager lied and disappointed parents, dishonored by giving them money to "protect children's reputation. This show is only worth watching to check new talent. Some of the kiddos are great developing actors, some have great voices and most of them recognize Menudo legacy have had been portrayed with honor and giving credit to the one making Menudo a hit, the 30 members who a lot of times picked p the pieces of bad management. Different story line for a next new producer and writer.

What a wasted opportunity. I sat through all 15 episodes out of nostalgia, but it was very hard to watch past half the series when the story and character dynamics were getting tedious (and honestly I was a Menudo fan through the golden years but by the 90s I had stopped caring about the band). To the good: some of the young actors were spot on. And some of the costumes too very pretty close. Now the bad: 1) Good grief, yes the horrific wigs.

2) Regardless of year and country the scenario, lights, curtains and hand-made menudo sign in the background were exactly the same. The fan's hand-made signs also seemed to be the same through space and time. Backstage was also identical, whether they went in the US or Brazil. And also the administrative offices, even though they supposedly moved. Really? Do they think the viewers won't notice?

3) The secondary tele-novelesque story was, imho, unnecessary. If they wanted to show the fan's side, it could have been done without the drama.

4) acting was pretty bad-but maybe it was the direction. The kids could barely sync their lips or dance moves.

I wonder if they cut corners because the majority of the audience would be Latin. Regardless, what a shame.
