Los Serrano

I watch Los Serrano more or less regularly and I think it is a very good series. It might be true that it's becoming like most series, with lots of love triangles and such, but there is always something interesting every week. That's why I keep watching it. It is very funny how Diego, Fiti and Santiago get themselves worked up over nothing and it always ends up in difficult situations. I like the way the kids get into all kind of trouble. In conclusion, as long as you can understand Spanish pretty well, Los Serrano is a good series you are sure to enjoy. At least I do, and I don't know very many people who don't. If you like Los Serrano, other series I recommend are: - Aqui no hay quien viva. - Aida. - 7 vidas. And a personal favorite, which doesn't have very much to do with Los Serrano: - Hospital Central.

Los Serrano is a drama comedy but not an ordinary one. I usually don't watch TV series like these and the spark that I got to start watching was purely out of nostalgia as I watched the series as a kid on summer vacations.

The story itself begins with Diego and his three sons moving together with Diego's new wife, Lucia and her two daughters. There are plenty of other interesting characters through the seasons who are all connected somehow to the family of Serrano-Capdevila (Diego and Lucia). The series contain love stories, funny accidents and complete misunderstandings that the episodes are build up for. This can sound basic for a TV series but for me, it is the acting that makes up the show.

The plot twists are not predictable, the sub stories can last for several episodes and the constant action keeps you keen on to the show. The acting is very convincing whether it's related to comedy or tragedy or anything in between. The episodes last approximately 75 minutes and there are 147 of them so there's much to watch. Maybe a bit too much though.

Would recommend to watch if you have a plenty of time.

Ps. Shoutout to Antonio Resines as he made the series worth watching, what an actor. I've a collection of his meltdowns to have a laugh every now and then.

"Los Serrano" has been broadcast for the last two years to a great success among people of all ages. The secret of its success lies partly on the wisdom of writers, who have successfully aimed viewers from all ages as their targets. Thus, the Serrano family portrays the daily lives of a Brady Bunch-like family with a widower and a divorcée marrying and creating a new family with each one's children.

Antonio Resines, one of our finest comic actors, plays the father, while Belén Rueda is as effective as ever as the mother. The eldest of their children (Fran Perea from one side, and Verónica Sánchez from the other) have at some points been the center of the series with their unsolved sexual chemistry, but perhaps writers should focus on other characters too.

As it usually happens with Spanish TV series, the supporting cast excels the main one in many instances. A special mention should be made to Jesus Bonilla's uncle Santiago, and Antonio Molero's family friend, Fiti. Among the youngest actors, Alejo Sauras and Alexandra Jiménez are a lovely pair of goofy sidekicks to Fran Perea and Verónica Sánchez.

Maybe it's not the best comedy ever made, but it's extremely watchable and the whole family can have fun with it. I hope we will be seeing a lot of "Los Serrano" in the years to come.

I think this is the best TV show ever. Comedy/drama/romance/whatever...Any on those genres will fit in every episode and always leaves you in a good spirit. Doesn't matter if you're a man or woman.

I think this has something to do with Spanish culture and natural charm of the Spanish people.

Me, personally I'm finnish and got addicted to the show while on summer holiday as hundreds of thousand more of us in Finland (at least dozens of people i know).

I'm sure i'll buy a DVD-compilation if i'll find one somewhere! Most definitely recommend!

After enjoying four seasons I can tell that this is one of the best series ever, though the writers has been slacking of as of recent. The best feature is the use of the language the way it's supposed to be, uncensored. Television rules are different in European countries. If you are a Spanish speaking person you'd have a blast watching this series. The elder actors and actresses are veteran Spanish talents. Closed caption is not available until the third season. Season six finished up, however the first half of season five just became available on DVD in Spain.

By the way, the DVD version of this series is only playable on PAL video. During the first seasons on DVD you could see behind the scenes, bloopers, etc. Seasons three and four only contains the main episodes.
