Sick Product of a Sick System

Let's be realistic.

Great Film overall

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

I usually don't like telenovelas and soap operas. Still, I accidentally bumped into this one and, to my surprise, I was extremely pleased with it, as it had two major qualities: excellent humor (the kind that you don't get from soaps, telenovelas and this kind of series) and very well played. Previously there have been some attempts to make a telenovela that features real humor, like "Betty la fea" for example, who partially succeeded, and managed to mix telenovela-style acting (which "we", those who don't like that kind of shows, say it's overacting) with really funny situations, characters and gags; still, it wasn't really THAT funny. But I recommend the "Los Serrano" series even to the viewers who don't usually watch telenovelas and generally soaps; they'll love it and may see it as the equivalent of a good family sitcom. The humor is also unexpectedly sexual for a telenovela, but it manages not to be crude or heavy, mostly in the line of questions that kids innocently ask their parents about sex.

I started watching the show when I was living in Madrid, and because of that I got sentimentally attached to it. At first, I thought it was only a rip off of the Wonder Years or Cuentame with the exaggerated voice over, but what I appreciate of the show now is that it's the first series to capture Spanish humor quite well. It plays on stereotypes, and many of the episodes are too formulaic, but if you give the show an opportunity it will deliver a lot farther than most of the other Spanish series I've seen. The show should play down the emphasis on marketing its music (AKA Fran Perea, and the next generation of the show) and go back to what it does best: parodying other shows and movies with a Spanish twist.

I watch Los Serrano more or less regularly and I think it is a very good series. It might be true that it's becoming like most series, with lots of love triangles and such, but there is always something interesting every week. That's why I keep watching it. It is very funny how Diego, Fiti and Santiago get themselves worked up over nothing and it always ends up in difficult situations. I like the way the kids get into all kind of trouble. In conclusion, as long as you can understand Spanish pretty well, Los Serrano is a good series you are sure to enjoy. At least I do, and I don't know very many people who don't. If you like Los Serrano, other series I recommend are: - Aqui no hay quien viva. - Aida. - 7 vidas. And a personal favorite, which doesn't have very much to do with Los Serrano: - Hospital Central.
