Weiting Liu Common Sense Media May 1
Even within the bounds of telenovela logic, the plot leans too far into nonsensical turns without the style or self-awareness needed to make it truly fun or absurdist. Go to Full Review

Rebecca F Sep 21 I loved this series. The acting was great and although the plot dragged on a bit Mendoza was so handsome, Laura was wonderful and Chara was so good. I couldn't wait for the next episode. See more Fernanda A May 23 I was really looking forward to I Am Not Mendoza, especially because I’m a big fan of Vadhir Derbez. Unfortunately, the show didn’t live up to expectations. Cindy’s constant screaming was grating, and Violeta’s performance fell flat—her attempt to be a “badass” just came off as awkward and unconvincing. Their roles really brought the show down for me. What could’ve been a fun and exciting series ended up feeling forced and frustrating. A big letdown. See more Chris M Apr 25 The first 5 episodes are good funny and very created but after that ohh God it is terrible so many mistake and boring Cindy with all those screaming God my ears 👂 really didn’t want to hear that anymore and she can do anything and she is so poor and not education in the show off purse and she was saving her ass from ganster and bosses and friends omg really not one believe that terrible acting of the cast and Salvador iifff better not talk and Esteban Julian with that voice of stupid it is too much better when he does Esteban at least it’s not a voice annoying but anyway if you are boring and play to discover or looking for the mistake of the director and writer it is good to watch but after the episode 10 is not believable and totally annoying. Anyway probably will be another people like it because it is funny but that wil be it if you know Mexican and Colombian idioms (Jergas) no soy muy chistosos mas bien parece humor britanico jajajaa Chris See more Read all reviews
