It is a very poor production, with problems of acting direction, art direction, script and accent work. Too bad such a good story had an execution so far below what it deserved.

Ok. I absolutely have to say... they put on the boys the most HIDEOUS wigs I have ever seen in my life. The acting is sub-par....

This show is about Edgardo Diaz, not Menudo. It's a piece of baked s**t. If I'd have found a 0 stars rating, I put it. Horrible acting, a stupid story. The worst.

There are many plots in the series. One is the relationship between the protagonist Edgardo Diaz, and his mother, who do manages the boy band he creates. Then we have the plot between Edgardo and the choreographer and costume maker Joselo Vega, who is a role model for the group, and a friend/advisor to Edgardo. Then we have two Menudo fans who never grow old despite the years going by, Renata and her best friend. Then we have the plot involving Renata's daughter, who in the present interviews an aged Edgardo. So among all those stories, there is very little coverage of the band members themselves, and what happened to them after leaving the band.

How does it feel to be ex-famous? That would be interesting. And how did they created the lyrics, songs that became so popular? Joselo himself, we never see him creating the dance moves. There is very little about the romantic live of members.

In short, the series are fun, but with too many subplots and unnecessary characters.

Several severe negatives to share so I'll start with the positives.

As a former hardcore Menudo fan I appreciate the timeline accuracy and storyline based on actual events, pardoning some of the artistic details to enhance some events or names.

The appeal to a sense of yearning to relive those days and experiences is definitely present. I did find myself moved and swooning once again to the songs, music, choreography, and impressed by the wardrobes which reflected closely to the originals worn by the real group members.

The Mexican production side of the series is marked by its excellence in professionalism and creativity. Then theres the light years away in a different universe of tthe Puerto Rico production team.

What should have been an opportunity to excel at presenting this story, completely failed in delivery, script, direction, execution, acting, and too many details that should have been taken care of. I have the huge impression that this was a "let's make an express draft version of this idea" and ended up using it for the series instead. Recycled sets, locations and (I agree with other comments) those wigs!? really?

Scamping and cutting corners for the opportunity to release a mediocre and low-budget version 15 episode series is a humongous letdown. This was a lost chance for working hard to enhance Puerto Rico's enduring musical youth phenomenom legacy and let new generations appreciate it in the same manner as millions of worldwide fans experienced it originally.

They chose the wrong route for this ride in the worst obvious way and that's exactly what was delivered to its eager but dissapointed audience.

A really bad Cliff-Notes version of La historia de Menudo, which by the way, is not enough to ever pass a test. Much less the test f time.
