Telenovela (2015–2016)
4/10
Surprisingly decent comedy

Warning: Spoilers
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.
