La Reina de Indias y el Conquistador

Drama...Romance...Action...Treason...Tears...History...Good acting...Good production... what else can you ask for? I really enjoyed this series, the acting and characters are superb, I don't really know which parts of it was true or not, I really don't care and it was not my aim, I've just embarked on this series by pressing PLAY and I let it to take and immerse me on the adventure. I really thought this was a Spanish production but it is Colombian, I am very impressed, they did such a good job. Get a dozen of handkerchiefs prepared, specially for the ending, lot of emotions will blow your soul and TV screen up.

If you like telenovelas, this's for you. Catalina and Pedro's relationship is pretty believable as are the hurdles they have to jump over in order to remain together. I've only seen a few episodes and yet I'm already hooked. They're pretty good. Then again, I like watching stuff in Spanish and this show delivers.

If you like compelling love stories (heartbreaks too), this's for you.

Can't say whether it's a true narration of history or just man-made fancy made up with a few sprinklings of actual event that may or may not have happened.

But, in reality it has all the trappings of a typical soap.

Mindless back stabbing to keep the pot boiling and episodes dragging do tend to test one's patience and intellect.

Having seen through to ep-8 I do have a strong urge to give up the ordeal of viewing it further.

This is an historical romance that may or may not have happened - like the movie Titanic's romance . The period and settings are great for a TV series. After about the first 20 episode's the romance morphed into a melodrama and internal intrigue's which for me was more tedious and less entertaining - for other's - it may be your cup of tea. The acting I found first rate and with subtitles I got used to, I feel I should be fluent in Spanish by now - I am not. I have watched 50 of the 60 episodes so I can't give away the ending and would be surprised if there was a season 2 - if there was - I don't think I could watch another 60 episodes of internal back stabbing intrigue There is decent action and some sexual situations but no nudity

It's like being transported into another time

And great characters who with so many episodes start becoming like old friends

It's just fun! Give it a shot if you like the Spanish or Turkish soap genre ..

Hope Netflix gives us more!!!
