La niña

I thought I would check out this show from Columbia, not sure what to expect. Wow, let me tell you, I watched the first show and was hooked. I mean hooked to the point where I was binge watching 12 hours straight at a time because I just couldn't get enough. I was hoping it would keep on going. I am really hoping for a second season. I liked it so much that I will probably watch the entire season again.

The story is both dramatic and soap-opera which creates a unique experience for the viewer. The story has tense moments as well as lot of fun moments in it.

Highly recommended.

I am a busy career mom so between work, kids and home stuff I don't have a lot of time to watch TV but I was so captivated by this series that I couldn't stop. I literally stayed up until the early morning trying to get as many episodes watched as I could. I rooted for Belky as she had to overcome so many challenges. I cried as I learned about her history and past. I rejoiced every time she got back together with Manuel.

I was even more taken aback knowing that many of this was based on true stories. From a political perspective I didn't really understand the barriers and issues in reintegration besides an NPR segment I listened to in the car. This video helped me to understand a little bit more.

I recommend this show TO EVERYONE I know. I hope it receives a foreign film award because it deserves it!

This series is truly amazing!! La Nina tells about a girl who was taken into the guerrillas of Colombia at a young age and how she manages to reintegrate to society. All the characters are well acted and well represented. You learn to love and hate some characters and believe me you will be hooked on this show! I think that the fact that this story is based on a real person is also what makes the show so great. As I watched the show I couldn't believe that this was something a real person had actually went through and survived. The series also is a great eye opener for the things people go through when they decide to leave the guerrillas and form a new life in our society. There is so much to learn from this series. I loved everything about this series, I think it was truly perfect from beginning to end.

This show, this Lanina. Was so good! Such a bloody good show!! It was a sad, triumphant and true story. Awful what those children had to live through. I want more of Lanina!! The acting was really really good , I went through all ranges of emotions in just one episode let alone all of them. I couldn't let go I had to watch this awesome show right to end. And I didn't want it to end , I want MORE of LANINA!!!!!! The casting people sure knew what they were doing with those actors. Hollywood got nothing on them, they play their parts so real. Love this show, Amazing!!

I just started watching this great show and it's really sad to think non-Spanish speakers are missing a lot due to the terrible work in translating from Spanish into English.

The Colombian slang used makes some of the dialogues fun and interesting, and I do understand slang it's sometimes difficult to translate. But when in the same dialogue you see that the character is referring to a little girl as 'he' then as 'she' and in the very next line becomes a 'he' again you lose track of what they're talking about.

Let alone when they translate basic words such as kid or child as 'curly hair' and there's no one with curly hair on the scene!?...

I really hope the translation gets better so I can recommend the show to my English speaking friends.
