Violetta is an awesome character. She has a unique voice and Paulina Gaitán shines in the role. However, the parallel story, that of Pig's self-pitty is terribly boring. You can fast forward all of Pig's scenes and you would have missed nothing by the end.

I don't understand or read Spanish much, so watched with subtitles.No spoilers in this review because the less you know, the better.The lead actress is excellent. I had seen her in Narco, so she looked familiar, couldn't place her. All the actors are good, but she steals the show. I'm very curious about the books.Giving It a ten for the uniqueness and the lead ActressAre there going to be more seasons? Hard to believe. I'd love to talk about the series, but on this one any spoilers would interfere with surprises. Very R rated. It avoids showing the few moments of actual violence. Lots of drug scenes. Sex scenes aren't explicit, but frequent. Overall a very tricky and clever story.

I became a big fan, Violeta performs impressively and all the cast is awesome

They really butchered a great story. The main character doesn't resemble at all to the one portrayed on the book, and it's played by a bad actress who seems that never understood the personality and the motivation of the character. Don't even bother, you'll just keep wondering why did they messed with it...
