Madre de alquiler

For a series that felt on one level like a cautionary tale about surrogacy, you would think the writers would at least have done some basic research( middle school biology). There was one continuous comment about the embryo splitting to twins which could only result in identical twins..but the twins are obviously not identical( a boy and a girl). The characters discussing this would have had basic knowledge of this. I ended up fast forwarding through most of the episodes but gave up after I realized after getting to 10 that I wasn't even halfway through. The series needs some serious editing to make it into a tolerable cheesy soap opera. On the positive, unlike other reviewers, I did like the lead actress. There was some other side plots/discussions about indigenous culture and racism that could have been interesting but given my wariness of the writers credibility on other topics, I couldn't trust them on this either. In summary, lots of missed opportunities.

24 episodes of this drivel, I have no idea how you can watch 24 episodes and still not really fully understand what happened and more importantly why!

The description and the start appeared promising, however it started going down hill pretty soon.

Terrible acting, the worst being Yeni and then her son when he is a young adult. Far too many characters which makes it confusing.

Not sure why but Yeni doesn't have much of a liability factor - perhaps its because she took someone else's husband and came up smelling of roses as a result.

The ending just seemed absolutely ludicrous.

Just awful!

This is a long series - 24 episodes. I have read a number of reviews here and acknowledge some of the weaknesses - not well known actors, some scripting and storyline difficulties etc. However, this series is well worth watching. Obviously some reviewers have NOT watched the series - the plot does NOT talk about identical twins, rather it is dizygotic pregnancy (look it up!!). Here the story touches on issues such as racism and prejudice in Mexico, the role of indigenous persons, power and abuse by the elite, indigenous culture, sexual identity, class distinction, greed and many other classic themes. And it does so very well. I agree, it is probably too long and could be shortened, but 'The Surrogacy' is well worth watching.

The main chick Yani acting needs help. Her expressions, her gestures her everything lol... needs help. The show seems to go on and on by episode getting no where! A lot of people roles in this series could have been omitted. The whole seria could have been over in episode One... but nooo they drag it out to a complete mess... the show drags to the point where it's hard to watch and stupid things start to happen because they need to make episodes. 24 episodes of complete stupidity.... They talk about this "Indian" chick Yani. But honestly she looks Hispanic/Mexican. I'm no racist AT ALL. However I wish they could have found a better Surrogate because someone about her is not sexy or appealing to the eye.

Absolutely terrible acting and even worse dubbing into English. They really should have consulted a medical professional upon writing the story as the story starts off saying 1 embrio split into twins and became a boy and girl baby. Most people know this is impossible. It's not possible for twins from same embrio to be anything but identical twins (same sex) this plot annoyed the hell out of me. And many other simple mistakes that a quick Google search could clarify. Also they go to a doctor office and complain they were not seen within 2 seconds of arrival. I feel the writers of this show were a bunch of children.
