I kept watching episode after episode in the hope that the next one would be better. But it definitely didn't. So I gave up after episode 5. The storyline and storytelling is incredibly weak and all the episodes I watched felt dragging. It could have been great if the storytelling and the storyline was clear and the acting was good. It felt like there were too many characters that had a big part in this. I usually finish movies and series that I watch, even if they are not that good, to give it a chance. But this one had 24 episodes! Way too many if you ask me. For the people that want to finish the series, I hope it gets better! But something tells me, it won't.

24 episodes of this drivel, I have no idea how you can watch 24 episodes and still not really fully understand what happened and more importantly why!

The description and the start appeared promising, however it started going down hill pretty soon.

Terrible acting, the worst being Yeni and then her son when he is a young adult. Far too many characters which makes it confusing.

Not sure why but Yeni doesn't have much of a liability factor - perhaps its because she took someone else's husband and came up smelling of roses as a result.

The ending just seemed absolutely ludicrous.

Just awful!

It seems that they ran out of storyline, then they decided to form a story like a ten year old child. There's no connection between yeni and Carlos, and I m sorry to say this, they would have used a more attractive lady for the role of yeni. Also there's a lot of loops holes in the story. At some point I didn't understand what they were doing, my advice is that you should watch it on the speed of 1.25 or 1.5. Though I must commend Nora and Julia, they acted their roles well, Roberto acts reluctantly, he seems not to enjoy his role. Yeni' s acting got better and also looked better towards the end of the show.

This is a long series - 24 episodes. I have read a number of reviews here and acknowledge some of the weaknesses - not well known actors, some scripting and storyline difficulties etc. However, this series is well worth watching. Obviously some reviewers have NOT watched the series - the plot does NOT talk about identical twins, rather it is dizygotic pregnancy (look it up!!). Here the story touches on issues such as racism and prejudice in Mexico, the role of indigenous persons, power and abuse by the elite, indigenous culture, sexual identity, class distinction, greed and many other classic themes. And it does so very well. I agree, it is probably too long and could be shortened, but 'The Surrogacy' is well worth watching.

Terrible acting! They rush through scenes but it doesn't matter. You will likely turn the channel just as fast anyway. The actors and not authentic and the story line is abysmal. Men try to kidnap a lady while she's riding in the car with her dad. He stills the gun and kills one kidnapper and wounds the other. Instead of leaving the daughter tries to resuscitate the kidnapper I guess so he can try again, smh.

The accents are off and the characters are all way too helpful like the friend that wants to sell her business and give up her life to bail her friend's dad out of jail. I need friends like that.
