This is my first review on here, reason being that I just watched this series and after seeing some of these review here, I felt I had to write one myself and share my experience. I have never heard of Vicente Fernandez until I saw this show, and was not familiar with the genre of music. However, I am now and I am so glad. Not sure why people are saying negative things about the show at all, I thought it was absolutely amazing and very cleverly put together, maybe yes a little cheesy at parts, but that was fine. To me the singing was amazing, all of the different aged Vicentes were brilliant. The little Vicente (Vicente niño) who was played by Kaled Acab was just adorable and, a brilliant singer, how could anyone not like him. I wanted to see more and more of him as the show went on. Jamie Camil was also absolutely marvelous. The other two young Vicentes (Sebastian Dante and Sebastian García) were also great to watch and very likeable. Dante with his huge smile was a pleasure to watch and all the actors displayed huge charisma. Enoc Leaño did a great job of playing Vicente's father (Ramón Fernández) I Did not see anything wrong with their style of acting, and as for the singing, well, I imagine no one is going to be as good as the real Vicente, otherwise everyone would be a huge musical star and have their hands on the Hollywood walk of fame, however the voices were all amazing, all could be singers alone and record songs without acting. I also really liked how the time line was thrown around so that it slowly built a clear picture to the whole story but only towards the end, this kept it from being possibly boring at times and kept me wanting to know more, watch more (maybe harder for some people to get their minds around) but I found this stimulating for the brain and made watching the show more exciting and addictive. It's a shame some are so negative about the show, maybe look at positives, for example, how it helps others outside the Mexican culture to learn about the culture and music, and also, spread Vicente's music and his memory to all parts of the world. I definitely want to visit Mexico and hear more of this genre of music, already playing Vicente on my playlist after watching this show. Thanks Netflix and to all the actors for a great experience! So many great performances in this series that I cannot mention all the names but so many interesting characters played so well by many actors. I will now watch it over again as this show had me crying, laughing, all the emotions! Muchas gracias!
