There is a basic concept called suspending disbelief that allows the viewer to get lost in the story, forgetting it isn't "real life".

We all adjust to seeing the 1920's in color or voice overs in stories, but this series warps time in a few ways. Music and dance circa 2017 might work in a 1920's story if the dance weren't a jolt out of time but the real problem is lyrics that mention later eras such as mentions of television one may not be able to ignore. Dance could be less jarring if a more timeless style. Thank goodness no actress tries to sell Clear Blue Easy or the pill.

It's a odd choice to have future music and I hope it doesn't spoil a decent series. Mabbe future seasons, if there are any, will use a less jolting dance and music mix with 1920's Spain that serves the story.

I really like the series, good composition, costumes and everything. But what is wrong with the music? It's the 1920's not 2010. That is probably the one thing that is really bugging me. Anyway, I recommend this series if you like drama. It reminds me a bit of the series ''Velvet''.

It's hard to imagine that anyone who appreciates the series as a period piece wouldn't cringe at the music chosen throughout the first season. It's true that other liberties are taken that don't necessarily reflect the period but none as jarring as the soundtrack. If that is an attempt to connect the message to the present day, please stop!! I promise we can all make that connection without watching a 1920's jazz club blaring bad electronic music. Please spare us that discomfort in season 2!!

The series is really good. It deals with a really important issue, the acting is awesome (except for Francisco) and it is a truly nice entertaining show... BUT WHAT THE H*LL IS WRONG WITH THE SOUNDTRACK? Who was responsible for this? In the beginning I couldn't keep me from laughing when hip hop and pop music started playing, but then it just started to irritate me. Really. It spoiled some parts of the series.

To those complaining about the English voice overs, you can change the settings. Netflix allows you to watch dubbed versions and/or captions in multiple languages, so you change it to Spanish with English subtitles if it bothers you so much. The options are already provided.

I haven't finished it yet, but so far it's been interesting and well paced.
