El Rey: Vicente Fernández

As a longtime Vicente Fernández Gomez fan, I was happy to see this series was released! My mom and I enjoyed his movies over the many decades. I wish she were still here to enjoy it with me.

His music is still relevant today and can be heard played in many places.

The series is a good look into the struggles, hardships and tragedies the family faced

The cast was great, I enjoyed the performances! Good to see many new faces and a few familiar ones.

Is it perfect, no, but what can be perfect when depicting a bigger than life star?

I appreciate the effort and enjoyed the series. Thank you Netflix.

I disagree with the negative review. I thought the series was beautifully presented. The music and singing was absolutely incredible and I loved it so much, I told all my family and friends to watch it. I was glued to the set until its conclusion. I loved Jamie Camil's performance and Sebastian Dante's the most. Both wonderful actors who depicted Vincente Fernandez perfectly. I also loved Marcela Guirado's performance. I was left with the impression that this man had one of the most difficult lives and yet against all odds, he was very pure of heart, loved his family and friends and put others first. What a great man! But behind every great man, is a great woman and his wife must have been very proud of him. I am a huge fan of Alejandro Fernandez and love his voice as well as his father's. Growing up with my own father being a Mexican singer, this movie was very special to me and I will want to watch it again. I hope these actors will win awards for their excellent work. Bravo El Rey!!! Julia Pereyra.

The story... 10/10 what a story Musicality ambiance (especially in later episodes with adult Vicente and some by young adjust Vicente are worth watching. 8 10 Delivery of the story 6 /10 ( constant back and forth lost points Actors 8/10 but main caractors in later part of movie are very believable and charismatic.. Some Good laughs and some tears as well.

Quality of early recordings (way too much reverb to try and make kids sound good 4/10 Older performers. Sound was good. 8/10 The intrigues and constant struggles are excelente to watch and can provide life lessons than even a middle aged business man like me is taking notice. The dealing with aggressive gossip news, competitors sabotaging deals etc... Stick with it past the clunky timeline and get to young adult Vicente and then adult Vicente.. Love love the character of adult Vicente... So charismatic, and the voice is much better. As a non latino French Canadian, I love his voice although I realize the true "El Rey" was incomparable.

The pace Of the movie is very relaxing with constantly good music. Lots of hardship and challenges he had to go through. This series is an absolute life lesson that shows perseverance most be shown when you truly want something.

A great story of a storied man who leaves a legacy of honor, humility and the essence of being a proud Mexican. The losses and adversity Chente had to overcome was shared with millions during their own time of struggle. Losing Chente has left a hole and while I struggled listening to this cast try to sing, it didn't matter because the story and lens into his life has been enjoyable. The time edits were rather excessive and better writing could have made this a batter series overall. The early years of his life were clearly the catalyst his success over time, an inspirational and must for those who remember Chente with a smile.

This is an amazing show. The way it is artistically filmed shows so much respect to the artist who is loved generation after generation.

Just the intro gives me chills. Brings back memories of my Grandfather singing these songs. The family is central to our culture and it is such a motivator in this series.

I dont want it to end! I know it has to. The actor that plays the small version of Vincente stole my heart. He is such a beautiful child actor! And if that is his actual singing voice I am STUNNED. The drama surrounding his rise to "El Rey" is phenomenally portrayed. Thank you for keeping it clean.
