Santa Evita

Fuerte, cruda y emocionante, suspenso, basado en hechos reales.

Empezó muy bien espero ver mas minutos de Natalia Oreiro

buenas actuaciones, música y vestuario.

Wherever there's an Alterio's family member on screen it is worth watching the show. Besides, the rest of Argentinians do it well. Maybe the only drawback I've found is quite a lack ok likeness in settings and other stuff I haven't reckoned as hundred per cent reliable or perhaps a bit too much artificial.

This story is not only enchanting, but it makes you wonder what is real and what is fiction. And the answer might surprise you.

Natalia's acting shines as she plays Evita from her years as a radio actress wannabe to her latest days.

The whole historical reconstruction is spotless and it leaves you unsettled but wanting more.

If you are looking for a series that chronicles Evita's full life, this is not it, this series is not a biographical series, but a fiction about what happens after Evita dies. The story starts with Evita's death and we see events that lead to her embalmed body's disappearance for almost 20 years. This is one of the three story lines, the second one focuses on journalist Mariano in 1970's trying to figure out where is Evita's body. And the final storyline are flashbacks from Evita's life - showcasing the most important events from her life; her childhood, her career as a radio actress, her meeting with Perón, her short bud powerful political career and her illness and death. The storytelling is absolutely superb and keeps you thinking what happens next.

Natalia Oreiro as Evita delivers the strongest performance of her career and presents us powerful Evita, who however does not loose human side. The series has fantastic cast of the highest quality, the music is stunning and so are the decorations and costumes.

If you are looking for a thriller, you are in for a ride, and if you are looking for a historical series, this is also for you, but I recommend to check some of the events on-line to fully understand the context of the historical events in Evita's and Perón's lives.

"Santa Evita" is a historical drama series of the highest quality and is the best fiction Argentina has to offer these days.

Santa Evita contains all those elements that make a successful mini-series: an excellent cast, a strong and passionate story, great cinematography and direction, and a great soundtrack.

Natalia Oreiro, with a flawless performance, gives life to perhaps the best Evita Peron we have seen so far on television and cinema. The series presents a more humane and truer approach to the first lady of Argentina and it achieves its goal through the multifaceted interpretation of the protagonist, who manages to render precisely and without succumbing to imitation the changes in attitude, movements, and voice of Evita through time until the end of her life. From the rest of the performances, Ernesto Alterio stands out with a dark character interpreted as perfection.

Santa Evita is not a biography and should not be judged as such. It's an incredible, dark journey full of passion and tension that nevertheless deals with issues that are still connected with our society.
