i Love it... expect the show to be light and funny. A nice watch if you just want a silly/ slap stick show. i love how all the characters make me laugh with them and at them. it kinda makes fun of the Spanish soaps, which i love cuz my sisters use to watch them and how silly i thought they were. its nice to see Eva doing a show thats in her element. i always find myself wanting more. the show reminds me of happy endings, its packed with funny and embarrassing moments. the show is not for everyone, and to have a comedy thats extremely well rounded like modern family is hard to do, so don't expect a show like that. if you want a silly and quick laugh, this show is for you.
I had always been meaning to check the show out over the years but never got around to it and recently I've been watching a lot of comedy shows that have only lasted one season and this one was really funny. I understand why people didn't like the concept of a very Americanized or English speaking telenovela star it really didn't embrace the telenovela reality, buts its a super cheese sitcom. They make a lot of jokes about the tropes of the telenovela shows and I would have really appreciated seeing more of those evil twin style episodes. There's nobody that's annoying in the cast. I wish there were more episodes.
I watched the first couple of episodes of this one. It's a very silly sitcom about life on the set of a telenovel series, with Eva Longoria as the shallow but well-meaning star dealing with the jealous ex-star and a host of insecure actors.
The comedy is very broad, with pratfalls and sex jokes and punchlines underlined and bolded, but it's often quite funny, and I certainly laughed out loud a number of times in each episode.
It's also very dumb and silly. Not smart-dumb, like Brooklyn 99, but straight-out, old-school mindless dumb. If there weren't so many other comedy series I like better (Brooklyn 99, Simpsons, The Grinder, Morty and Rick, Life in Pieces, Inside Amy Schumer, etc.) I would keep watching it, but there's only so much time in the day and it's a bit too dumb for me to fully enjoy, so I'll leave this one alone.

It is funny and I like it so far, please keep it up :) recommended as comedy TV show, so the TV is full of comedy shows but for me it is hard to find a good quality one ... this one seems to be a good quality and funny one.
Characters are perfect for the story, the script of the show seems to be good quality too, Eva is one of the funniest characters especially at Desperate housewives. Viewers are thirsty for this kind of shows so well done for all the cast and hope it will get much better over time as any successful TV show.
I hope this can be spread to other TV channels soon with different subtitles etc

Bright, VERY colorful and amusing comedy about a beautiful actress (Eva Longoria) who's the star of a Spanish soap opera (they're called telanovels). She has to deal with back-stabbing costars, her hunky ex (who is playing her love interest in the show) and various attractive men and women.
It moves QUICKLY, has a bright tight script, good acting (Longoria is obviously having fun) and has plenty of cheesecake AND beefcake (a running joke has a particularly handsome muscular guy constantly tearing his shirt off). The plot has been done before but it's done well here. Hopefully it can be consistently clever and funny for a long run. Recommended.
