Damage control?.
When i saw that they made this, i got excited because I grew up liking Miguel Bose. I'm 10 years younger than him, i was wondering about what did i miss about this guy?. As for this series, i didn't miss anything.
I gave it 3 stars because the first 3 episodes were interesting and though i found some details about inaccuracies about time period, and horrible cgi, they were cool enough to keep me engaged. Then the portrait turned into a caricature by episode 4, and didn't recovered. My God, what a phony impersonation of Julio Iglesias, and what was the point?. There's also a bad cgi fire on Roll Royce that few moments later appeared as nothing happened.
Imagine retelling the uneventful life of someone you know. There would be characters that pop up and won't go anywhere, and contradictions and flaws in the main ones. But, is that enough to make it an interesting story?.
Nothing happened!. At least not of what you might expect from a biopic. Was it damage control to let people know he is bisexual?. That he doesn't have hiv?. That he is jaded by life?. That although he was into drugs, he stopped?. That he is a normal person like you and me?. Again, is that enough to make a series?.
I think they should have being more careful and pay more attention to detail. Erase the microphone lingering on top of the actors.
As an expectator i was lost with the time frames not getting how old the characters were supposed to be. There was young, very young, very very very young...and older!. That's it. In the spam of 50 years just younger and older gets confusing even if both are very hot, but not similar at all.
I'm supposed to be the first one reviewing this, so i guess nobody is going to read it anyway.

Had potential, but lost momentum real quickly
Came across this on Paramount+. It is more like a Spanish Telenovela rather than a true series. Starts off very strong, but after about the third episode, rapidly goes downhill. The acting is very variable, and with the lack of attention paid to historical detail, it just becomes a farce. This seems to have been a low budget production, with a very badly written script. The audio track is barely audible and the delivery of lines by the actors just comes across as rapid fire mumbling. As the other review points out, the CGIs are really bad. The constant overuse and misuse of flashbacks between alternating timelines is just confusing, and ends up being a major distraction. There is no reality of the time frame for the appearance of the actors, since only the parents seem to age while "Miguel" seems to remain amazingly young for his current age. It's just stupid to do that!
