The Five Juanas

Good plot, good acting, it's a mystery, drama series with good thought out storylines. You want to keep watching. Hope this series will be renewed for a season 2.

A remake of a Colombian telenovela, La Juanas (1997) originally written by Bernardo Romero Pereira. Modern high quality cinematography in Dolby Vision HDR. Setting in Mexico. Lots of eye candy.

Well it's not just a story of 5 beautiful women but also includes women trafficking, money laundering and murders. One dialogue at the very end of the series "the real badasses aren't the ones who live at the top penthouses. It's those of us who live in the basement." concludes this series perfectly.

The first four or five episodes may be hard to go through, it took me two times to watch, but when it got interesting I couldn't stop watching. If you want a logical, totally correct show that would be an exact to real life, move on to another show. This web of sisters, lovers, relatives is not that.

All descendents of a conspiring man, have not just an identical birthmark, but it is also located at the same place on the body. Five women with it, half-sisters by the name Juana, are the leading roles in this mystery.

The show have a little bit of everything, a bit of paranormal, incest, transition, family ties, sex (not too much and not showing too much either), gay, love, evil, trust (or distrust), trafficking and a million other things.

The plot unravels really well and it's not hard to follow the creators vision. Intriguing drama of five sisters bonding not only by the same father.

Did I say sexy? Yes, finally a sexy show on Netflix that actually has a good story and writing! And the acting's fair as well.

I enjoyed it. Worth a watch for sure.
