La niña

It is so good to see a series about Colombia that venerates the human spirit in the face of adversity, rather than romanticizing violence, drug trafficking, and prostitution. The best television series I have seen in a long time.

A beautiful story about a girl, based on real events, who survives against all odds. Thank you, La Nina!

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.

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!

I really loved this series based on a true, compelling story portrayed by excellent actors. It is a long series, 86 episodes, and now that I have watched it all I am hungry for more. There are so many great characters in this show. There are evil ones, and really good ones. I found myself really liking a lot of these people and they seemed real to me. When the show was over I felt depressed because it was like losing a whole bunch of people that you care about all at once. The interactions between the characters were great as well. The actors should be commended for portraying characters in such a realistic light. They really are superb actors. I am recommending this show to all of my friends. If the producers of this show come up with a new show with these actors I want to watch it.

We mostly watch Spanish language programming because we are trying to improve our Spanish and normally we watch shows from Spain because they are of higher quality than the shows from Latin America BUT this one is great. I love the actors and actresses and especially the actresses who play Belky and Doctor Tatiana. They exude the warmth and passion of latinas and make me want to move to Colombia. There are many other very good actors in this as well, the acting is first rate.

The story is exciting and compelling. It's great how they weave Belky's past into the present and vice versa. I can't believe there are 86 episodes in one season but I look forward to watching them all.
