Montecristo

The TV show differs from the book, and the movies we saw previously. The new story is more adapted to today's world: oppression, lies, corruption, and revenge. William Levy did an outstanding job playing the character. I loved the ending; it is a great message. We need to let go of the past and move forward no matter what.

As for the people complaining about intimacy scenes for the first time, I see those scenes as part of the story. When he was with Mercedes, I didn't see love; I saw anger, and Levy did that well. The other relationships were part of the vendetta plan. Great Job, Willaim Levy.

I am a great fan of William Levy not his best day in this series, no empathy, no warmth and definitely not the Montecristo I read about!!! A little too much sex that made absolutely no sense in the story, it definitely wasn't the MONTECRSTO.. William Levy in Cafe de Aroma was the William Levy I like to see, warm,compassionate,loving kind to children and respectful to others. I wish in the future that he would have English subtitles so us US citizens can understand it..The best part of the series was the most beautiful scenes of the different places they were and oceans they were. The author of Montecristo would be saddened.

I completely agree with the original comment regarding the series being an excellent adaptation of "The Count of Monte Cristo". The production value was truly exceptional, and the performances given by the actors were top-notch. William Levy's portrayal of the main character was particularly noteworthy - it was arguably his best performance to date. However, it would be remiss not to mention the talented Esmeralda Pimentel, who delivered a fantastic performance as well.

The series adaptation stayed true to the essence of the classic novel, while also managing to bring a fresh perspective to the story. It was gripping and kept me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. I found the storyline to be well-crafted, and the pacing was just right - it never felt too slow or too rushed.

Regarding the negative comments, I couldn't agree more with the original poster's statement. It's unfortunate that some people feel the need to leave negative comments just for the sake of causing trouble. I would highly recommend giving this series a chance, as it's truly entertaining and well worth the watch. In short, the "Count of Monte Cristo" adaptation is a superb production that deserves all the accolades it can get.

***it does not contain spoilers***** This series could have been a great production but unfortunately it disappoints in the end. Very good locations and the plot is well built but the casting is very weak and the scenes of action are not well achieved. I will give it a 6. It seems that it was created to make shine William Levy, unnecessary and not credible sex scenes. There is no chemistry between the main characters, lack of emotion and credibility in a lot of scenes and actors/actresses.

The production company has been very brave by adapting a classing book into a modern and contemporary story.

Just five minutes into the first episode and I was hooked. Sometimes I got a little lost (thankful for the 10-second rewind) but I think that is because I'm not a native Spanish speaker. Sure, there are lots of deviations from Dumas's book, but it doesn't matter--the same can be said of "remakes" of other classics. Performances are top notch; it's good to see Levy delving into roles beyond the telenovela galán, although he has done quality work there as well. Other actors in this production are new to me, but all gave excellent performances and totally convincing. Montecristo is well worth watching!
