La niña

I thought I would check out this show from Columbia, not sure what to expect. Wow, let me tell you, I watched the first show and was hooked. I mean hooked to the point where I was binge watching 12 hours straight at a time because I just couldn't get enough. I was hoping it would keep on going. I am really hoping for a second season. I liked it so much that I will probably watch the entire season again.

The story is both dramatic and soap-opera which creates a unique experience for the viewer. The story has tense moments as well as lot of fun moments in it.

Highly recommended.

I really loved this series based on a true, compelling story portrayed by excellent actors. It is a long series, 86 episodes, and now that I have watched it all I am hungry for more. There are so many great characters in this show. There are evil ones, and really good ones. I found myself really liking a lot of these people and they seemed real to me. When the show was over I felt depressed because it was like losing a whole bunch of people that you care about all at once. The interactions between the characters were great as well. The actors should be commended for portraying characters in such a realistic light. They really are superb actors. I am recommending this show to all of my friends. If the producers of this show come up with a new show with these actors I want to watch it.

I just started watching this great show and it's really sad to think non-Spanish speakers are missing a lot due to the terrible work in translating from Spanish into English.

The Colombian slang used makes some of the dialogues fun and interesting, and I do understand slang it's sometimes difficult to translate. But when in the same dialogue you see that the character is referring to a little girl as 'he' then as 'she' and in the very next line becomes a 'he' again you lose track of what they're talking about.

Let alone when they translate basic words such as kid or child as 'curly hair' and there's no one with curly hair on the scene!?...

I really hope the translation gets better so I can recommend the show to my English speaking friends.

This series is truly amazing!! La Nina tells about a girl who was taken into the guerrillas of Colombia at a young age and how she manages to reintegrate to society. All the characters are well acted and well represented. You learn to love and hate some characters and believe me you will be hooked on this show! I think that the fact that this story is based on a real person is also what makes the show so great. As I watched the show I couldn't believe that this was something a real person had actually went through and survived. The series also is a great eye opener for the things people go through when they decide to leave the guerrillas and form a new life in our society. There is so much to learn from this series. I loved everything about this series, I think it was truly perfect from beginning to end.

It is so good to see a series about Colombia that venerates the human spirit in the face of adversity, rather than romanticizing violence, drug trafficking, and prostitution. The best television series I have seen in a long time.

A beautiful story about a girl, based on real events, who survives against all odds. Thank you, La Nina!
