The House of Flowers

Veronica Castro was the biggest Mexican telenovela star from the late 70's to the 80's. I was so thrilled to see her on a Netflix show, so I have to watch it. I grew up watching her telenovelas, and she's still an amazing actress. This series is the typical telenovela, with family secrets, the ultra rich, the poor, lies, etc, but with more 2018's themes.

I started watching this serie without much expectation. I thought it was going to be another predictable and dramatic mexican telenovela, but I was very wrong.

This serie is quite original and funny. The cast is quite good and every episode is very different to the other, which keeps things interesting.

I can't stop watching it. I am really looking forward to another season!

Give it a try!

Season 1 is great - humor, plot, characters, Mexican peculiarities, but the second one is here just for your money. Don't waste your time and ignore it. 8 for the first one, 5 for the second

The vibrantly art-directed scenes, spicy plot lines, catchy tunes and deliciously colorful characters make this show a feast for the senses. Manolo Caro IS the Mexican Almodovar- irreverent and campy, his stories are graced with juicy, flawed, strong-willed women. Veronica Castro as the matriarch is at once perfectly put together and a perfect mess. You are rooting for her from the moment you meet her. But Cecilia Suarez as the quirky Paulina de la Mora steals the show hands down. She's the glue that keeps the family together, and she does so with elegance, humor, compassion and a whole lotta mischief. Her iconic drawl is both endearing and addictive- watch it in Spanish if you can! I haven't felt this excited about a character since Mary Louise Parker as Nancy Botwin on Weeds. THANK YOU NETFLIX! Please bring us season 2!

Originally titled as 'La Casa de las Flores' in Spanish, the series is about a dysfunctional family with a prestigious flower business front but a problematic and full of secrets reality.

The first season is exclusively filmed in Mexico, while the second one's filming shifts between Mexico and Spain and the Special Episode is filmed on the Texas-Mexico border.

The series has a modern and liberal approach on LGBT lifestyle and consists of enough scenes constituting the LGBT characters.

It's a non-serious, funny and full of drama series.
