Chespirito: Sin querer queriendo

A nostalgic gem for fans of El Chavo del Ocho, this series boasts a fantastic cast and authentic setting that beautifully captures the essence of the iconic Hispanic show.

For fans, it'll spark a ton of nostalgic feels, bringing back that clean, clever humor that's super hard to get right-something only Roberto Gómez Bolaños, the absolute genius, could pull off so perfectly.

However, it falls short for newcomers, offering little context about its cultural significance in Latin America during the 1970s and beyond, which may leave international audiences unfamiliar with the character feeling disconnected.

I am 23 years old and I have never seen my dad cried before. This series somehow touched something deep in his heart, the nostalgia is the biggest factor of it all. The chespirito as a kit watching the set as el chavo del 8 was born really moved my heart. La chilindrina honestly represents that true friend we all have that always have our best interest at heart. The script and the direction are truly impressive! At the beginning I was mmmm this is odd I was not expecting this but then I saw the second episode and the episode next and I was like omg THIS IS MUCH BETTER than a boring documentary. For the first time in my life I get to know how the characters I grew up with were first created. Seriously a master piece truly a masterpiece that I hope everyone get to see.

I am a Chespirito's fan from 1980's, and wanted to see this production with expectation. The cast is amazing, some characters are very similar to actual actors (Clotilde and Villagrán mainly).

The problem is the script and direction. In some scenes you can tell the lack of production, not carefully filming. They could do it better overall in El Chavo del 8 sketches that every fan knows very well.

Florinda Meza (Margarita/Maggie) and other "villain" characters looks a little forced, you cannot tell they were like personification.

Son, summarly this is a nice production with big flaws. Meanwhile many fans looks for more information on web.

The direction is very good and episode 4, the last one released at the moment, is the most exciting because it shows the connection with a part of Roberto Gomez Bolaños' childhood, the mind behind El Chavo and the formation of the series.

Pablo, who plays Roberto, is an excellent actor and he, like the rest of the cast, looks very much like the actors and acts well, quite different from a comment I saw here.

The way the year changes is easy to understand and all the period characterization is excellent! The Brazilian dubbing is magnificent, very similar to the original dubbing. Brazilians love El Chavo to this day, and it is still shown on open TV. A more than deserved biography that covers many topics that we would never imagine had happened.

Excellent biopic and performances. Great production. Everyone looks exactly the same, except for the actor playing the part of "doña Florinda". She wasn't that pretty at all, and her name was changed in this series because she didn't like how her story was being told or portrayed. Even though it's exactly how it happened back then. Good memories of an era. I remember watching every episode of "El Chavo del 8" as a kid, and even many years later. And now, I really enjoyed watching this. If Chespirito wasn't resting in peace he would've been proud of this work.
