Yeni, mère porteuse

For a series that felt on one level like a cautionary tale about surrogacy, you would think the writers would at least have done some basic research( middle school biology). There was one continuous comment about the embryo splitting to twins which could only result in identical twins..but the twins are obviously not identical( a boy and a girl). The characters discussing this would have had basic knowledge of this. I ended up fast forwarding through most of the episodes but gave up after I realized after getting to 10 that I wasn't even halfway through. The series needs some serious editing to make it into a tolerable cheesy soap opera. On the positive, unlike other reviewers, I did like the lead actress. There was some other side plots/discussions about indigenous culture and racism that could have been interesting but given my wariness of the writers credibility on other topics, I couldn't trust them on this either. In summary, lots of missed opportunities.

The main chick Yani acting needs help. Her expressions, her gestures her everything lol... needs help. The show seems to go on and on by episode getting no where! A lot of people roles in this series could have been omitted. The whole seria could have been over in episode One... but nooo they drag it out to a complete mess... the show drags to the point where it's hard to watch and stupid things start to happen because they need to make episodes. 24 episodes of complete stupidity.... They talk about this "Indian" chick Yani. But honestly she looks Hispanic/Mexican. I'm no racist AT ALL. However I wish they could have found a better Surrogate because someone about her is not sexy or appealing to the eye.

Prepare to be captivated by a gripping tale that delves deep into the shadowy underbelly of surrogacy, unearthing a web of astonishing secrets, twisted lies, and jaw-dropping revelations that challenge the very fabric of society. This riveting series explores the harrowing world of "colorism" and racism, shining a harsh light on the plight of indigenous people. With its thought-provoking narrative and masterful writing, it skillfully leaves viewers questioning their own beliefs and perceptions. Brace yourself for an unforgettable journey into a realm where nothing is as it seems, and prepare to have your mind blown by a story that demands to be seen.

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.

Absolutely terrible acting and even worse dubbing into English. They really should have consulted a medical professional upon writing the story as the story starts off saying 1 embrio split into twins and became a boy and girl baby. Most people know this is impossible. It's not possible for twins from same embrio to be anything but identical twins (same sex) this plot annoyed the hell out of me. And many other simple mistakes that a quick Google search could clarify. Also they go to a doctor office and complain they were not seen within 2 seconds of arrival. I feel the writers of this show were a bunch of children.
