How sad is this?

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

I cannot believe anything this NOT FUNNY would be given a series.The basic problem here is the writing. It is stale and awkward and totally devoid of anything even remotely funny. The characters are just embarrassingly bad - particularly the "Gay best friend".Eva Longoria just cannot do comedy. She has a very limited range. Comedy is not within that range. There is also absolutely NO chemistry between Longoria and Levy. Latinos deserve a genuinely funny sitcom - this is so NOT it. Watch it quickly, it will not be around past the initial ten episodes. Thank Goodness.

I watched the first couple of episodes of this one. It's a very silly sitcom about life on the set of a telenovel series, with Eva Longoria as the shallow but well-meaning star dealing with the jealous ex-star and a host of insecure actors.The comedy is very broad, with pratfalls and sex jokes and punchlines underlined and bolded, but it's often quite funny, and I certainly laughed out loud a number of times in each episode.It's also very dumb and silly. Not smart-dumb, like Brooklyn 99, but straight-out, old-school mindless dumb. If there weren't so many other comedy series I like better (Brooklyn 99, Simpsons, The Grinder, Morty and Rick, Life in Pieces, Inside Amy Schumer, etc.) I would keep watching it, but there's only so much time in the day and it's a bit too dumb for me to fully enjoy, so I'll leave this one alone. But it is funny.

This is a behind-the-scenes type of comedy about the daily shooting of a telenovela (spanish speaking soap opera) and the lives of people involved with its creation.It is stylish, colorful with good comedic timing, decent jokes and good over-the-top performances from the cast. Mainly it exploits the stereotype of a Diva, the flashy popular female protagonist, who only cares about her image. The fun starts right from the beginning when you realize that the main star of the Telenovela (Eva Longoria) doesn't even ...speak Spanish!Although they *not* belong in the same genre, it is unavoidable to compare this, with another telenovela-ish series, Jane the Virgin (which I stopped watching after its first season finale). Telenovela is far more entertaining and light and fun and spares you from watching an actual melodrama.In a sentence: This is a witty comedy that will keep you entertained.

I usually don't write a review for the pilot episode & I think by the end of this season NBC will have a hit.The only other comedy show I watch is The Big Bang Theory. I love comedies & there just aren't that many that are fun nor funny. There are too many dramas: NCISSS, CSIII, Criminal Minds, Quantico, Chicago Fire/Med/PD, Law & Orderererer. Other comedy shows I've tried: Modern Family, Gary Shandling, Seinfeld; and several others I've watched over the years.The acting, writing, & directing are gre8! The actors/actresses are top rate and draw you into the story. If you work in a corporation; you will most likely find this show funny. There were a couple of parts that slowed down for me & it was gre8 to laugh at something that was actually funny when it picked back up.Ep 1 Two main characters take a selfie while committing a crime. The main character asks the writer, "How drunk were you last night". The Gay guy stress eating. The macho guy has a cat.Ep 2 The open door policy (no secrets). Two of the characters slept together & while giving the details the main character started gagging. Main character talking to writer. Writer plugs his ears stating, "Spoiler alert". Main character, "You wrote it".The show is different & will have to carve out it's niche. This was worth the risk of watching & finally funny.Thank you to NBC & the production team. I look forward to the next episode.
