Velvet

As a period piece, drama, and budget TV series this is time well spent. All the characters are excellent, the story is intriguing (if you just go along without analyzing some parts of the plot line.)

Ana and Roberto look like a genuine couple. Their past history makes them seem authentic even while they come from different social circles. As a female viewer I felt close to "Ana" much more than I usually relate to movie roles.

I'm waiting on edge to see what happens next season. How long will the wait be? I saw this on NetFlix in USA, and hope they add new episodes soon.

Found this by accident and got hooked. Acting is very good and the story lines are very easy to follow. loved the way they played background music throughout. Have watched season 1 & 2 on netflix I don't speak Spanish so I can't say if the translation is all correct but it worked for me. Does anyone know where one could get a soundtrack of the music. Not all of the music was composed for the series there are a lot of 50's 60's and so on used. I would love to get a soundtrack or CD of the music. So much was new to me but really great I was brought up in a Spanish speaking home and surprising how much of the Spanish I could understand.

This show is wonderful and I just love it. I finished watching the episodes of the first season on Netflix and I re-watched them again. Although I don't speak or understand Spanish and just rely on the subtitles, I still really enjoy this show tremendously. The story line about true love, social class differences, sacrifices and other hurdles make this series very interesting, (and educational to me). I am hooked on watching this series that I can hardly wait for more seasons to come. I even started looking bits and pieces of the second season online. I wish the episodes that I found had subtitles on them so I could understand what they were saying, regardless, I watched them and still loved it. (I just used my own imagination and the actors' gestures to kind of figure out what they were saying or what is going on). The actors on this show are just amazing and they are all perfect for their given characters. Another interesting thing about this show was that although there are lead characters, the writers and producers managed to give everyone their own story line which really keep the series worth watching. Now, I am motivated to learn Spanish (hopefully, I could) just so I can re-watch this show again and again in the future. Please continue doing more episodes and more seasons. I thank you and more power to all the actors, writers, producers and everyone involve in creating this show. I salute you!

If you like this era (late 50s/early 60s), you'll love Velvet. I love the look and feel of this show: the clothes, the cars, the music, the cocktails. I even love the sunglasses the lead character sports in a few episodes. But nostalgia aside, it's a terrific show. The crux of the series is a great once-in-a-lifetime love, a love that should be the destiny of the boy & girl. But of course, everything is against them: their parents, their class difference, and financial issues. The two actors who play the leads couldn't be better. Both are gorgeous to look at AND terrific actors - what more could you ask for? Besides the main story, a number of secondary plots, both comic and tragic, will engage you. I just finished watching the first season in less than 2 weeks. And I'm about to watch all 15 episodes again because I love this show so much. Whether Spanish or American, this is one of the best shows I've ever seen.

Loved this series. I could not stop watching it. kudos to the writers and cast. Thanks for the entertainment.
