Phenomenal heartstring pulling TV show

[ryjfhqhf · 10/10 · 3 February 2023]

Honestly one of the best shows I have watched in the past year. Not only does it have a ton of action, but the twist and turns of drama add to the suspense of finding out if Ángela can win her daughters respect throught the way of lucha libre. There are not many shows that not show the Latino culture or the culture of wrestling, but this show did both in a fantastic fashion with the bond between friends, family, and the lucha ways. One of Netflix's best shows in recent releases and hopefully there will be a season 2 to complete not only the story of Ángela's wrestling career but also show us how her personal life ends up. I know I would jump at the chance to see what happens in the future!

Super fun

This show is really good and has great actresses and actors on it. I loved that they focus on women in the wresting world. The main story is amazing. I'm from Mexico and currently live outside, so this show make me feel like I was in Mexico city. Thanks for such a fun show. I am aware it has not quality of other shows like The Crown or Stranger Things, but budgets for Mexico are really low and they manage the best they can. But, the story is so good, because is about a woman trying to get closer to her daughter, and the context of the story is related to mexican wrestling wich is still very popular in Mexico.

Do not waste your time, netflix buying bad shows instead acquire a good ones.

Well, bad acting, escenarios, story, soup opera style, out of the reality. The wrestling in México is sacred, so you will need to train for years to get the opportunity to get the chance to fight. This is a kind of soup opera, a bad one obviously, please do not waste your time watching this piece of cr4p. If you want to see a good movie, go to youtube and look for Santo's, blue demon's movies, again netflix is supporting bad shows, the show is not worthing to spend hours in the couch, a mother Who attempt to gain her daughter trust, wrestling, daammn better getting a job, its like a robin Williams movie but with wrestlers. One of the mist boring series ever.

Bad Acting and Bad Writing

[Anonimo2024 · 2/10 · 9 February 2024]

The story is incredibly hard to believe. The story centers around the most unlikable and spoiled child. The kid doesn't have any manners and doesn't deserve anything the mother does to try and win her back. What kind of upbringing or stories did the grandmother tell the child that the child has nothing but disdain for the mother. There is no kind of empathy or nothing from the child. Evil characters with no real good motives as to why they are evil. It is just silly and all-around unlikable. I was hoping it would get better as it went but that didn't seem to happen. I watched the whole thing but I wish I hadn't.
