    i Love it... expect the show to be light and funny. A nice watch if you just want a silly/ slap stick show. i love how all the characters make me laugh with them and at them. it kinda makes fun of the Spanish soaps, which i love cuz my sisters use to watch them and how silly i thought they were. its nice to see Eva doing a show thats in her element. i always find myself wanting more. the show reminds me of happy endings, its packed with funny and embarrassing moments. the show is not for everyone, and to have a comedy thats extremely well rounded like modern family is hard to do, so don't expect a show like that. if you want a silly and quick laugh, this show is for you.

    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.

    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.

    Bright, VERY colorful and amusing comedy about a beautiful actress (Eva Longoria) who's the star of a Spanish soap opera (they're called telanovels). She has to deal with back-stabbing costars, her hunky ex (who is playing her love interest in the show) and various attractive men and women.It moves QUICKLY, has a bright tight script, good acting (Longoria is obviously having fun) and has plenty of cheesecake AND beefcake (a running joke has a particularly handsome muscular guy constantly tearing his shirt off). The plot has been done before but it's done well here. Hopefully it can be consistently clever and funny for a long run. Recommended.
