It is a very poor production, with problems of acting direction, art direction, script and accent work. Too bad such a good story had an execution so far below what it deserved.

Manager sold this fake story where he made sure his hated members look horrible. Ros as "-tok good for the band" René as the show off, vain and ungrateful, Ruben as the drug dealer. Listen people, no blame no shame to the kiddos, there had a team of adults who supposed to "supervise" them. Manager lied and disappointed parents, dishonored by giving them money to "protect children's reputation. This show is only worth watching to check new talent. Some of the kiddos are great developing actors, some have great voices and most of them recognize Menudo legacy have had been portrayed with honor and giving credit to the one making Menudo a hit, the 30 members who a lot of times picked p the pieces of bad management. Different story line for a next new producer and writer.

I really liked the series, my family and I found ourselves carving every new episode, but the experience was definitely a mixed bag. Other users have commented on the wigs, which are awful, the bad acting and other technical problems as I have to concur. The technical aspects of the show are way below modern series. There is one exception on this department that I have to mention because I think they really deserve it and it is costume design. I am not an expert but I lived in the 80's and I'm pleased with the variety and detail of most of the actors' wardrobe. Other than that everything screams "low budget" and sometimes plain mediocrity. Having said all of that I go back to my liking the series: I liked most of the kids acting, Joselo, Doña Peche, the young Mexican actresses but above all, the story (even though sometimes it was very poorly scripted). I know my review is confusing and disorganized but that's just appropriate for how this series is story. I liked it a lot but please don't do a second season.

I am sorry but this was horribly made. Horrible acting and dialogue. The casting was poorly done as well. I have to say I have never heard such horrible spanish... I barely understand what the boys are saying. The Menudos never spoke like that.... What is it with the absolutely awful wigs??? It was quite a distraction. For such an iconic band and such a phenomenon, very little thought was put into the delivery of the story. The worst part of this is that the actual former members of Menudo said it never happened the way this series portrayed it.... not based on facts at all. I am extremely disappointed. I have been a fan of Menudo since 1982.

Several severe negatives to share so I'll start with the positives.

As a former hardcore Menudo fan I appreciate the timeline accuracy and storyline based on actual events, pardoning some of the artistic details to enhance some events or names.

The appeal to a sense of yearning to relive those days and experiences is definitely present. I did find myself moved and swooning once again to the songs, music, choreography, and impressed by the wardrobes which reflected closely to the originals worn by the real group members.

The Mexican production side of the series is marked by its excellence in professionalism and creativity. Then theres the light years away in a different universe of tthe Puerto Rico production team.

What should have been an opportunity to excel at presenting this story, completely failed in delivery, script, direction, execution, acting, and too many details that should have been taken care of. I have the huge impression that this was a "let's make an express draft version of this idea" and ended up using it for the series instead. Recycled sets, locations and (I agree with other comments) those wigs!? really?

Scamping and cutting corners for the opportunity to release a mediocre and low-budget version 15 episode series is a humongous letdown. This was a lost chance for working hard to enhance Puerto Rico's enduring musical youth phenomenom legacy and let new generations appreciate it in the same manner as millions of worldwide fans experienced it originally.

They chose the wrong route for this ride in the worst obvious way and that's exactly what was delivered to its eager but dissapointed audience.

A really bad Cliff-Notes version of La historia de Menudo, which by the way, is not enough to ever pass a test. Much less the test f time.
