La otra mirada

In spite of the fact that the series in in Spanish, so I had to read the subtitles, I think it is one of the most brilliant series I've ever watched!

There is so much to admire here: the intriguing plot with all its twists and turns, the outstanding cast, the sumptuous setting, the music, the clothing- all of it combines to be such a beautiful, mesmerizing, compelling series!

While there are a few main characters who draw our attention, the minor characters also add so much to this original and very creative series.

I have been unable to stop watching since I began because everything able the series has drawn me into the world of this wonderful school for girls in Saville. I've never been to Spain, yet I'm so completely drawn to these complex characters!

Please, please give us more! I want to know what happens to the school, to the students, to the teachers, and to my most favorite characters!

Do yourselves a favor and fall into the beautiful and complex world of this amazing, beautiful, complex series!!

This is basically a soap opera infused with hamfisted and predictable feminist messages. There are some interesting characters and storylines, but very little to make you think or keep you guessing. In fact, in order to make certain you are thinking exactly what the director wants you to think, the melodramatic soundtrack gives very clear signals. The show has all the pieces present to make possible an amazing series, but is content to lead the viewer around by the nose and use tried and true clichés. At over one hour per episode, there was plenty of time to go deep. As with any foreign series, you do learn things about the country of origin.

Just finished watching season 1. Love the clothe, story line. Amazing cast. Loved how season 1 ended. Major twist on who killed Tersa's dad. Now I need to see what happens next. So upset that I can't find season 2 anywhere. Here on this app I can only find pictures of each episode of season 2.

PBS productions used to be synonymous with quality. No longer. While I realize this was purchased from abroad, it's another cheap soap opera, replete with an overly saccharine sound track and a clunky plot with clumsy misdirection. Lately PBS has served up a menu of tired murder mysteries and an unhappy blend of period pieces centering around current cultural issues. I'm tired of this erroneous interpretation of the past, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. How about giving us quality TV again -- series such as Brideshead Revisited, the Foresyte Saga, and I Claudius were outstanding. If I want this kind of fare, I can always watch Netflix.

I enjoyed this series very much and love Spanish period pieces, however the ending was very disappointing. I would have loved to see another season to fix the storyline for most characters.
