Resurrection Blvd.

March 16, 2006 We have watched the entire series on DVD. We are movie buffs. This has to be one of our all time favorites. The writers were able to bring the very best of the Hispanic culture to the screen, along with other aspects of the culture which can bring heartache and sorrow to the family. The actors were all cast well and did an excellent job of bringing their characters to life. The family was able to show their unity and love for one another, while struggling with problems within the community and within the family structure. We laughed and cried with so many moments. BeBe and Carlos were my favorite characters. Thank you for bringing a wonderful series which not only moved us but allowed the viewers to experience the ups and downs of the American Hispanic culture. LOVED this show......and did not want it to end.

This is one of the best TV dramas I enjoy watching. Especially seeing people from a different culture experience the same tragedies and family traditions that us Americans have. Like infidelity in the family,trust,and losing a loved one. This shows a great significance of family values and support,that everyone can relate to. There's some stubbornness among the siblings but overall in the end,the family (Santiagos) will always stick together. Just alone the show has a type of reality check of how important a family can be. Excellent show!!

I started watching Resurrection Blvd. about 2 years and found it to be a compelling drama with an attractive cast. Issues the Santiago family faced were self-identity, homosexuality, rape, gambling death of a loved one and so on. Being that there were fans of the show, why did Showtime cancel it? The run was not long and there was no grand finale. Anyone have details behind this cancellation? Perhaps Showtime will produce a series finale movie to give the show and it's fans some closure that it deserves!

I enjoyed Resurrection Blvd's first episode a great deal! Not only is it a rare drama about a Latino family, but it seems so real and refreshing! Yes, it contains all the soap-opera/drama elements, but there's more... a darker/more truthful side. No details here, as it could spoil the show for someone. There's a whole family of interesting, realistic men and women who just seem to grow on you too quickly. The production values are excellent, the acting above average and the casting is out of sight! A little patience may be necessary as it will certainly take a little while for the actors to iron out all the wrinkles in their characters, but it will be a reward to see this show grow!

This outstanding series gives PBS's "American Family" a run for its money as the finest series about a typical, all-American family. Superbly acted across the board, from proud, tough-love Patriarch Roberto (the excellent Tony Plana), struggling sister-in-law Bibi (Elizabeth Pena - why isn't this woman a star?) and her loving son Tommy (the underrated Douglas Spain) to always-reliable veterans Rita Moreno and Glynn Turman... this series strikes gold on all counts, from the fine acting and directing to the smart scripts and warm designs. Let's hope Paramount resurrects seasons two and three on DVD in the not-too-distant-future. It's impossible not to fall in love with these characters. Bravo!
