A Disappointing Continuation
... View MoreIt’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
... View MoreThe story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
... View MoreIt's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
... View MoreThe original "Sin Senos No Hay Paraíso" was an amazing story, following the hard life of a group of girls growing up in Colombia. Great actors, great story, great ending. "Sin Senos Si Hay Paraíso" is a "continuation" of the previous show. This serie is nothing compared the first one. There was no need to change the original story, but it was done, dissaointig all watchers. The orinal story was a much interesting one.Why did they have to change the accents? These accents are awful, I understand that the characters matured but there was no need for that. I can't stand Doña Hilda's accent. The new Catalina is absolutely nothing like the first one, not that she had to be because she was raised differently than the first Catalina, but if you're going to make a continuation and you want your watchers to stay interested, the main character needs to be more enjoyable to watch. The new Catalina is very boring to see. She is not smart, not sassy, no charismatic. If this is a show very influence by women's contemporary beauty standard, the new Catalina does not fit for her role. Throughout the show, it's mention so much that the new Catalina is more attractive than Hilda's first daughter, and I do not agree. In the original Show, Catalina was know for being beautiful, and most importantly for having a sweet young look, the actor fit perfectly with the description. But in the new one, they have a 32 year old woman play a role of a 15th year old girl? (The younger Catalina) I couldn't concentrate in the story because I keep on wondering the actors age, she look a lot older than her character. I agree with most reviews, jotas character was a downgrade. His character could have had an amazing role for his very interesting life story, but it was completely ruined. La Diabla, had a very drastic changer in her character. Her original character was a more realistic vilan. If the production was able to reclute all the original characters, is ubderstandable, I believe they did a good job at replacing them.Unfortunately I'm not happy with the new production just like many other fans from the original serie.
... View MoreI did like the series, with the exception of the main character Catalina. She was a spoiled brat with out a brain. She was the main character and the worst actress. I fast forward her scenes at the end I cant believe parents let there 18 year old adults act that way no matter the reason.
... View MoreThis sequel with almost all the actors from the prequel is better, why? this one has more action, it's more interesting.In that one we can see a different role from Catherine Siachoque, it's true, hard to see her scenes, it's a boring role more that it was in Without Breasts There Is No Paradise but there's the little Catalina, La Diabla's daughter Daniela and La Diabla what are are really good characters.I loved that first 90 episodes season and i'm waiting for the second /third one.Another better part is that here at the final, last 30 minutes from the series we discover that Catalina la Grande, what died in the episode 239 from Without Breasts There Is No Paradise, still alive. It's the best Spanish language TV Series from the 2016. Don't listen the awful reviews. See this one and you will don't feel bad because it's amazing!
... View MoreIn the wake of success from other Telemundo super series such as 'El Rey de Los Cielos' and 'Señora Acero', someone thought it'd be a good idea to make a sequel from the original 'Sin Senos No Hay Paraiso". They were very wrong. For starters, in her efforts to play the role of a teenager, 32 yr old Carolina Gaitan has dumbed herself down so much that the "new Cata" is painful to watch. Carmen Villalobos, in her original role, played a much more believable teenager: smart, sassy, stubborn and very relatable. The 'new Cata' leaves much to be desired. The new series tries to answer questions that were left open ended in the original, Those questions however are not worth enough to keep a viewer interested in this spin off. At the time, those questions were left up the viewer's discretion as to their answer and within that lies the magic of the original series. 'Sin Senos No Hay Paraiso' was a social, moral, political commentary on the state of young women in Latin America that left a powerful message on its viewers. The sequel is disappointing, it tries too hard to build excuses for Cata's family who let her down so long ago and haven't gained an ounce of wisdom in the years since. An unnecessary sequel which attempts to tarnish the legacy of the original.
