Wrong Side of the Tracks

How is it possible to put the amazing Coronado next to this amateur actress so talentless? Entertaining series, but very spoiled in every scene with her acting.

Most reviews highlight the imperfections of the series. I accept that some of the stories, such as the Nelson/Irene permanent changes of mind, are a bit silly. But forget all unbelievable sides of the story, the telenovella look of it, and just have fun at the dialogues. If you can put aside your natural critical mind, just listening to Gladys (Laura Ramos) and Tirso (José Coronado) will make you laugh out loudly. I could add that Nona Sobo/Irene is not as bad as other reviewers judge her. I think they they confuse the role and the actress because her character is indeed a bit irritating. With the same duo of lead actors (Coronado and Luis Zahera) I enjoyed this series better than Unauthorized Living which is very good too, but not funny.

Having Coronado and Luis Zehara -top caliber actors- contrast to the horrible acting of Irene, the granddaughter!!! Hard to understand. She will probably be a great model , not an actress

Besides that, the tough situation of the poor in Madrid, the immigrants , the drug addicts, the way dealers took over hole barrios , the inefficiency of the police and the vicious circle they live in is well illustrated. Language used is as sarcastic as it can be. Hope the English translation honors that sarcasm.

I liked the idea of the show, but whoever chose Irene did a horrible job. You rarely see an actress this talentless. She gets more and more annoying, and not in a good way (Joffrey in GoT, where he did such a spectacular job in playing his role), she is just bad... I probably would've rated a 7 or 8 if someone else would've played Irene.

I would of given a 7, not a bad series. Who ever cast the granddaughter really ruined the whole show. She cannot act and was it really necessary to cast an Asian for the role just to emphasize how racist the grandfather is.
