Alba

I don't think it's quite fair for me to rate this yet since I'm on episode 6.... BUT i had to complain about Rubens mother. Her character kills it for me every time she enters the scene... she looks straight out of a telenovela from the 80's. Each scene she enters the show feels like we went back to the 80's. Aside from her , and I'm a fan of every character from Elite, ( Alvaro is in this playing another not so great guy), the cast are great and it's a good binge. Also, it's making me want to visit Spain. Beautiful location.

This could easily be 1 movie instead of 13 episodes show. They added too much drama on top of the leading story.

I also don't understand why Mercedes was obviously the same age as her father in law. That was very distracting. It seemed to me that she was a telenovella actress who by accident appeared in this show.

After the 3rd episode I lost patience with this show.13 episodes of more than 50 minutes each to resolve a plot that shouldn't take more than a couple of hours. I've got better things to do!

Fatmagul was a 10 and exceptional series the whole cast the script the narrative the rythm all elements that made it socially relevant. Alba on the contrary It is an average product that we may easily forget.

This drama is a bit on the telenovela side and stretches out a bit too long but the basic premise is horrifying, the storyline brings forth the issues with no apologies and no discounts. It's an in-your-face type series which makes it worthwhile.
