Land of Women

Watched the first two episodes this week and both my husband and I are loving it. It's light, funny, clever and has gorgeous scenery. And having the show be in both English and (primarily) Spanish gives it real sense of authenticity. And I'm confused about the viewers who have a problem with the language choices, since Apple has been advertising this as a bilingual show from the beginning.

The cast are all great, Eva Longoria is as entertaining as ever and Santiago Cabrera is always a delight to watch in anything.

Pour yourself a glass of red and get swept away in the scenery and the sense of family and community.

This was fun!!! I knew right off the bat that this would be super predictable and might even get boring but I did enjoy it very much. At first I faked getting invested in the plot but by the end I was actually on the edge of my seat and the drama and humor really got to me. With this being so predictable it made an easy watch for days where you just want to think less and have a chill time. This definitely could have all been wrapped up with two more episodes instead of teasing a complete second season (I think there are at least three open plot lines) but I will come back for the second season if there's one being made!

Eva Longoria wanted escapist TV as she found the current TV shows too stressy and scarily too real. I couldn't agree more with her. There are not enough light shows out there. I've often found myself going back and watching Desperate Housewives, Devious Maids, Emily in Paris etc and so was absolutely thrilled to see a trailer for this new series Land of Women.

She has absolutely achieved her goal with Land of Women! I absolutely love it. I love the mix of English and Spanish dialogue. The characters are great and filming locations just make me want to board a plane to the Catalonia region to explore.

Thank you Eva. And fingers crossed this series is renewed.

Trying to look at this through the lenses of a good script and good cinatorgaphy etc and you're going to hate it!

If you watch it to escape the news and outside noise and think of it like a Hallmark movie then your fine.

It's a very predictable storyline. There are ridiculous scene changes with dramatic rain all of a sudden, make not feel soap opera y. But the scenery is nice and it's lovely to have a bilingual movie introducing the world to Catalonia.

Enjoy that part of you're looking for a silly escape. Don't try to focus on the other things that make this a made for tv movie style. It's a filler for the network I'm sure. I don't think anyone in production expected this to win an award.

I bet this was supposed to be a TV movie that they stretched to the maximum, filling the void with utterly useless scenes (you spot those a mile away).

From mediocre TV movie to boring mini series. Why label this season 1, the story doesn't call for a follow-up, it's already a huge waste of time (edit: I have now watched the ending, it's even worse, and comes out of nowhere, like a last minute addition).

Carmen Maura was the only good surprise, very sweet character, and I kept watching til the end just for her.

Please stop stealing TV movie ideas to artificially create such long boring episodes. I've already seen too many of those.
