Veneno

I'm a big fan of Spanish media and this show knocked it out of the park. The writers did a great job of honoring the life a of a truly important woman in LGBTQ history. Very creative storytelling, that at times was a little too campy (hence the 9 and not 10) but very entertaining. The series had so many moments that are just so human and any person can probably relate to. Christina had such a difficult life but she didn't see it that way, she thought it was beautiful and again the makers of this show did such a great job of capturing that.

So glad they decided to make a show about 'La Veneno', she was such an important part to the Spanish lgtb+ community and she deserves to be thanked for.

Back in the day, most people thought she was just a crazy woman, with shows like this you can see all the dark places in her upbringing and how hard her life was since she was a child.

It's just a hit of reality of the lives of many lgtb+ people, especially in her time.

This show is an undeniable masterpiece. From the music scores to the locations the acting, the script the actual story, the cinematography, the soundtrack and the performances it's an A + all the way! There is an incredible balance in the show with its humor, it's drama, it's sensibility, it's emotion, it's rawness and it's realness that makes it incredibly unique. I guarantee you will never see anything like it, in the end though what stands out about this incredible story it's its inspiration of the human spirit. Oh... Have some tissues ready because you will cry. Then laugh, then cry some more.

I watched this show based on the glowing reviews here. I was skeptical-especially since the first episode is a little slow at first-but WOW. By the end of the first hour I was completely hooked and stayed that way through the whole series. This is a fantastic show and I highly, highly recommend it.

A masterpiece and a beautiful gift to La Veneno and all her fans. Also very important, you don't have to previously know who she is to be delighted by the story, just as I didn't. Hope it reaches the world.
