Alba

This was an intense drama about a brutal rape. It shows how it not only affects the victim but also her family, friends and even the community. It was dragged out too long I think. I definitely feel like the story probably could have been condensed into around 6 episodes.

I have to point out the good first. Amazing views and scenery so much so that I want to up sticks and move to Spain and live in one of those fabulous houses.

Acting from lead female was really good and most of the other characters although I just could NOT get on with the lead's brother, so out of place. I was unsure whether he had learning difficulties or he was an idiotic hot head. His acting was so bad, I could not work it out!

Now for the not so good.... This show could have been wrapped up in one hour 30 mins. It was an interesting storyline but after episode 3 (of 13) I felt like the life had been drained out of it and I just wanted it over. To endure 10 more episodes was so frustrating that I fast forwarded all episodes from there!!!

Good storyline but so looooooong!!

This could easily be 1 movie instead of 13 episodes show. They added too much drama on top of the leading story.

I also don't understand why Mercedes was obviously the same age as her father in law. That was very distracting. It seemed to me that she was a telenovella actress who by accident appeared in this show.

After the 3rd episode I lost patience with this show.13 episodes of more than 50 minutes each to resolve a plot that shouldn't take more than a couple of hours. I've got better things to do!

Fatmagul was a 10 and exceptional series the whole cast the script the narrative the rythm all elements that made it socially relevant. Alba on the contrary It is an average product that we may easily forget.
