Review of Envious

Argentinian cinema and series hit different.

This show is kind of a romantic comedy but in a much higher level. Don't expect those hollywoodian stereotypes and superficiality. Having just seen the last episode (of season one), I can say this is probably my favorite rom-com series ever. Which is remarkable because I usually don't like this gender.

But this show is just AMAZING. I'm gonna list all its qualities:

• great acting from everyone, especially the two main characters, from actors Griselda and Esteban;
• all characters (friends, family, coworkers) are likeable and relatable;
• great dialogs, with very little cliches to be honest. Everything feels very real;
• in the first two episodes you'll probably don't like the main character very much; but she will grow on you very quickly!

• cute production, good scenes from Buenos Aires;
• story is not all about "love". There are side stories about friendship, family, loss, self esteem, relationship with the therapist (which scenes are particularly enjoyable);
• relationships and feelings are showed deeply and there's no way you won't relate to some of them, being it one character or another.

I guess the thing that surprised me the most is that we're able to like the main character even with all her flaws. She's not perfect, as neither of us is. She's not a poor little girl looking for a man, she's a real woman whose situations in life are a result of her choices. And she has to deal with them.

I'm just dying to see season 2!
