With Love

I'm halfway through the first episode. The dialogue feels stereotypical (in terms of sexuality-the way the gay character is represented, gender-women's main concern is getting a man and even in its portrayal of Latinx culture). The story is therefore very commonplace except with Latinx characters using Spanish words here and there in a way that will very conveniently be understandable to a mainstream audience (I'm Latina myself). Not on the level of rawness and realness of One Day at a Time, which I was expecting.

As another reviewer said, if this had been sold to me as a Hallmark-type movie with Latinx characters I think I would be much more pleased as my expectations would have been better adjusted.

It reminds me a lot of Mindy Kaling's Four Weddings... in the sense that it's a visually stunning tv show with a very conventionally attractive characters, an extremely conventional plot structure and a weird timing that feels slow and doesn't favor the jokes. Both shows are trying hard to be contemporary but lack any real-world authenticity in the portrayal of the characters.

Again, feel free to watch, expecting a hallmark or abc family (it does have some drama) type of tv show with very pretty people all looking for love. I might even continue watching with that mindset.

I Love this series and I'm excited to see MORE! It put a smile on face during a season that has been difficult for me since losing my parents. And it's really healing and freeing to see traditions I practice being practiced on TV. THANK YOU!

Do you like Hallmark movies, but wish they had more diverse minority and LGBTQ representation, was rated R, and was aTV series? Then have I got a show for you!!! This series isn't for me, but neither are most Hallmark movies. Honestly I probably enjoyed this more than most Hallmark movies. This site is fully if current humor, but some of it actually makes me laugh. The score is basically the same 8 measures over and over again and it gets old, like been on-hold for hours old! Like most Hallmark movies, there's no real conflict. Character A is worried character B is growing bored with them, but it turns out they're just nervous because they love them more than they've loved anyone else before!!! It's taxing to watch, but addicting.

It's so feel good and lovely! The characters are compelling and fun, the storylines are interesting, and the actors are incredibly talented. Such a fantastic holiday watch!

While it could be formulaic, the characters, acting, writing all make it feel fresh. It's an adult soap with a Hispanic cast of people I could come to care about.
