Bolívar: Una lucha admirable

As a Spanish learner I am always looking for series in Spanish to watch. If that fits you, then this is a good series to watch. The actors are good, the scenery nice, the story well developed. It's a good quality telenovela along the lines of another great Colombian telenovela - La Niña. And 60 episodes give me lots of practice with my Spanish!

I'm Panamanian and I loved this series!I learned so much about our liberator.I've always thought he was married to Manuela Saénz.I had no idea he had a first wife and fathered a child on his campaign in Peru.Entertaining and informative at the same time!Excellent job as usual Caracol!

I know little of Simon Bolivar and less about South America and shame on me for my ignorance. No doubt this series will send me to the history books. In the meantime, Bolivar is an entertaining look at the period. We have all the necessary tropes--treacherous relatives, corrupt officials, wavering revolutionaries, and the honest slaves--plus a beautiful background that serves as setting. The actors are good and we don't have the terrible mugging for the camera we see in telenovelas. The series is certainly entertaining and perhaps it might make you curious to learn.

I love anything that has to do with history and I enjoyed this riveting series. I felt some of the acting, especially from a few of the women, was corny and overly dramatized. Some of the musical score did not fit the scene. Other than that, it was so exciting that I binged watched it on Netflix.

I'm a Venezuelan. Loved it so much that I'm re watching it again. Based on the Memoirs of Bolívar's aide de camp Gral O'Leary. So People here who criticize accents etc are ignoring the fact that it is impossible to film in Venezuela nowadays. And both actors playing Bolívar are Venezuelans with same accent. Very entertaining to watch my history classes come to life. Specially in our very dire present political & economical times.
