Synopsis

If you think the steamy sex, sensational scandals and heart wrenching heartbreak on Latino soap operas are a little extreme, just wait until you see what happens behind the scenes! Eva Longoria stars in this new comedy about Ana Sofia, a sizzling TV superstar, and her lively family of cast and crew all competing to steal the spotlight. When the cameras turn off, the drama turns up as Ana battles pesky network execs, drunken scriptwriters, narcissistic co-stars and an unfortunately familiar new on-screen love interest.

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Alistair Olson After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
shinji94585 i Love it... expect the show to be light and funny. A nice watch if you just want a silly/ slap stick show. i love how all the characters make me laugh with them and at them. it kinda makes fun of the Spanish soaps, which i love cuz my sisters use to watch them and how silly i thought they were. its nice to see Eva doing a show thats in her element. i always find myself wanting more. the show reminds me of happy endings, its packed with funny and embarrassing moments. the show is not for everyone, and to have a comedy thats extremely well rounded like modern family is hard to do, so don't expect a show like that. if you want a silly and quick laugh, this show is for you.
Man99204 I cannot believe anything this NOT FUNNY would be given a series.The basic problem here is the writing. It is stale and awkward and totally devoid of anything even remotely funny. The characters are just embarrassingly bad - particularly the "Gay best friend".Eva Longoria just cannot do comedy. She has a very limited range. Comedy is not within that range. There is also absolutely NO chemistry between Longoria and Levy. Latinos deserve a genuinely funny sitcom - this is so NOT it. Watch it quickly, it will not be around past the initial ten episodes. Thank Goodness.
Dr_Sagan This is a behind-the-scenes type of comedy about the daily shooting of a telenovela (spanish speaking soap opera) and the lives of people involved with its creation.It is stylish, colorful with good comedic timing, decent jokes and good over-the-top performances from the cast. Mainly it exploits the stereotype of a Diva, the flashy popular female protagonist, who only cares about her image. The fun starts right from the beginning when you realize that the main star of the Telenovela (Eva Longoria) doesn't even ...speak Spanish!Although they *not* belong in the same genre, it is unavoidable to compare this, with another telenovela-ish series, Jane the Virgin (which I stopped watching after its first season finale). Telenovela is far more entertaining and light and fun and spares you from watching an actual melodrama.In a sentence: This is a witty comedy that will keep you entertained.
dreamgavino It's a funny coincidence that I am currently rewatching Desperate Housewives (I'm now on season 4) and I stumbled upon the pilot of this show. When it began, who do I see but Gabrielle Solis acting like how Gabrielle Solis would act if she were given her own show.The Good:Eva Longoria has great comedic timing. I really enjoyed the nice shots of the sets (clean, bright, colorful, etc.) There are some very laugh out loud moments (Don't look at me, I'm a monster LOL) Zachary Levi speaking Spanish? Yes please.The Bad:A bit predictable? You could only do so much with the plot. While it has a sort of campy charm, they overdid it a bit with the camp. Toning it down will help in making this show more digestible.All things considered, I'd watch it again. Hope it improves though.
