Valeria

A 7 for the nice views of Madrid and great music choice. This series is a Spanish version of SATC. 4 friends and their loveproblems in a beautiful city. Storyline is not new, but it's nice to watch if you want something light and easy. Only real problem is the main character Valeria. She is not a likeble character.

I dont like Valeria. I have no empathy towards her. I feel no compassion, no hope for happiness for her. I hope she is miserable. She is not a good person. Honestly, I see no redeeming qualities in this self centered, flighty child. The other characters and stories are really good. Maybe get rid of Valeria and change the name of the show.

Madrid is beautiful and the shots of Madrid are the best thing. The show is very similar to Sex and the City as someone mentioned, so if you miss that show you could enjoy this one. Expet for the main character, it's very hard to like her. I watched it for fun, did not have any expetations. Also, the music is nice.

I really enjoyed the first season. It is refreshing. I know there are 4 "Valeria" books, so I hope there will be more seasons.

It's fresh, even with all the twists and turns, the drama, if you will, it keeps a rythm that doesn't encourage 'overemotionality' - it doesn't feel like it pulls at your heart strings to 'get you', it just shows life stories. I loved the music and the editing especially - it really gives the series its own unique vibe, which in an era of fast food tv is quite an accomplishment. Some mentioned it is similar to sex in the city, and it is in that the characters are believable, the actors have chemistry with each other, it has a distinct personality and there is an ease to it, a sense of humor that accompanies all the ups and downs of their personal lives. I also enjoyed the fact that it has a certain simplicity to it, without being shallow, and that the (many) sex/love scenes are sensual, real and beautifully filmed.
