Mariana R @RT96097896 Aug 19 Jaime Camil NEFASTO!! Pobre de Don Vicente, si viera y oyera lo que Jaime Camil hace se volvería a morir dos veces!! Ese tipo no canta en absoluto se escucha tan ridículo See more Jocelyn ponce B @RT68754755 09/21/2024 La verdad los niños que escogieron no cantan, quizá eran los hijos del director o algo, porque ni se parecen físicamente que pena que una serie con tanto potencial y que representa tanto a México se grabara así, hasta repitiendo los mismos personages. See more F. O @RT15489160 10/05/2022 Not bad. I love the reminder of my youth. I hated Chentes dads character. Can't say the alcoholic behavior isn't common. Loved the music. Was extremely confused about the lesbian cousin. Did that actually happen? Loved listening to Spanish speakers. Loved all the variations of characters that are common in Mexico (Rancheros, debt collectors, construction workers, gamblers. Taxi drivers, priest, window car cleaner, luchadores and so many more. The music was on point. I would recommend. See more Read all reviews
