La niña

I just started watching this great show and it's really sad to think non-Spanish speakers are missing a lot due to the terrible work in translating from Spanish into English.

The Colombian slang used makes some of the dialogues fun and interesting, and I do understand slang it's sometimes difficult to translate. But when in the same dialogue you see that the character is referring to a little girl as 'he' then as 'she' and in the very next line becomes a 'he' again you lose track of what they're talking about.

Let alone when they translate basic words such as kid or child as 'curly hair' and there's no one with curly hair on the scene!?...

I really hope the translation gets better so I can recommend the show to my English speaking friends.

We mostly watch Spanish language programming because we are trying to improve our Spanish and normally we watch shows from Spain because they are of higher quality than the shows from Latin America BUT this one is great. I love the actors and actresses and especially the actresses who play Belky and Doctor Tatiana. They exude the warmth and passion of latinas and make me want to move to Colombia. There are many other very good actors in this as well, the acting is first rate.

The story is exciting and compelling. It's great how they weave Belky's past into the present and vice versa. I can't believe there are 86 episodes in one season but I look forward to watching them all.

It is so good to see a series about Colombia that venerates the human spirit in the face of adversity, rather than romanticizing violence, drug trafficking, and prostitution. The best television series I have seen in a long time.

A beautiful story about a girl, based on real events, who survives against all odds. Thank you, La Nina!

This show, this Lanina. Was so good! Such a bloody good show!! It was a sad, triumphant and true story. Awful what those children had to live through. I want more of Lanina!! The acting was really really good , I went through all ranges of emotions in just one episode let alone all of them. I couldn't let go I had to watch this awesome show right to end. And I didn't want it to end , I want MORE of LANINA!!!!!! The casting people sure knew what they were doing with those actors. Hollywood got nothing on them, they play their parts so real. Love this show, Amazing!!

I am a pretty serious focused career woman. I pride myself on not being distracted by TV or NetFlix crap. Well, all that is history now. From the first episode, I was hooked. I thought it would dull down but the end of each episode leaves a cliff hanger that leaves you wanting more...and more....So, I binged this series only sleeping 4 hours each night until I finished all 86 episodes.

(Now, I am ashamed to admit that I am re-watching this bloody thing. My only question is: how will I overcome this addition :-). Joking...)

La Nina has Great acting. Wonderful directing. Best TV series I have ever seen. I don't have a single complaint at all. All the characters add so much colour and texture to the show that it will blow your mind. Victor is hilarious. Betty and Nana are sweet kids. Mrs Mireya is a delightfully negative mom. The struggles of an ex-Guerrilla, Belky is wonderfully acted by Ana Maria Estupinan. Oh, and Belky and Manuel's love story is epic.

So. Yeah. Enjoy this. Savour it. it is wonderful.
