I really liked the series, my family and I found ourselves carving every new episode, but the experience was definitely a mixed bag. Other users have commented on the wigs, which are awful, the bad acting and other technical problems as I have to concur. The technical aspects of the show are way below modern series. There is one exception on this department that I have to mention because I think they really deserve it and it is costume design. I am not an expert but I lived in the 80's and I'm pleased with the variety and detail of most of the actors' wardrobe. Other than that everything screams "low budget" and sometimes plain mediocrity. Having said all of that I go back to my liking the series: I liked most of the kids acting, Joselo, Doña Peche, the young Mexican actresses but above all, the story (even though sometimes it was very poorly scripted). I know my review is confusing and disorganized but that's just appropriate for how this series is story. I liked it a lot but please don't do a second season.

Ok. I absolutely have to say... they put on the boys the most HIDEOUS wigs I have ever seen in my life. The acting is sub-par....

Manager sold this fake story where he made sure his hated members look horrible. Ros as "-tok good for the band" René as the show off, vain and ungrateful, Ruben as the drug dealer. Listen people, no blame no shame to the kiddos, there had a team of adults who supposed to "supervise" them. Manager lied and disappointed parents, dishonored by giving them money to "protect children's reputation. This show is only worth watching to check new talent. Some of the kiddos are great developing actors, some have great voices and most of them recognize Menudo legacy have had been portrayed with honor and giving credit to the one making Menudo a hit, the 30 members who a lot of times picked p the pieces of bad management. Different story line for a next new producer and writer.

The story of Menudo is very interesting, and that is what keeps this series together. There are serious script problems, poor rhythm and the acting of most of the cast is not really good. Anyway, none of that is relevant when compared to the wigs. I felt sorry for the kids actors that had to wear those things on their heads.

There are many plots in the series. One is the relationship between the protagonist Edgardo Diaz, and his mother, who do manages the boy band he creates. Then we have the plot between Edgardo and the choreographer and costume maker Joselo Vega, who is a role model for the group, and a friend/advisor to Edgardo. Then we have two Menudo fans who never grow old despite the years going by, Renata and her best friend. Then we have the plot involving Renata's daughter, who in the present interviews an aged Edgardo. So among all those stories, there is very little coverage of the band members themselves, and what happened to them after leaving the band.

How does it feel to be ex-famous? That would be interesting. And how did they created the lyrics, songs that became so popular? Joselo himself, we never see him creating the dance moves. There is very little about the romantic live of members.

In short, the series are fun, but with too many subplots and unnecessary characters.
