Hooked from start to finish of all three series. I was originally gifted a Soy Como Quiero Ser Luis Miguel audio cassette in 1987, I spent two years walking in the mountains of Scotland listening to his beautiful voice. Visiting Mexico for the first time in 1989 I was incredibly privileged to see him live in concert (age 19) I had no idea of the events shaping his life either before or since, until I accidentally fell upon this title on Netflix and was able to introduce my 23 year old daughter to his music. Sensitively produced with amazing and talented actors, totally deserving of merit for their own musical talents. What an emotional rollercoaster for him. The production succeeded in keeping the viewer both emotionally invested and actively praying for things to turn out well in his life. I liked the way the series jumped from the earliest to the latest year in each series. The filming, timing and scripting were perfect. Totally compelling. Thoroughly enjoyed is an understatement. I also think it demonstrated the effects of environment, nurture and external events on the shaping of a human character. I think that it was also a wise career move to make the series, as not only can his audience now understand him better, but to introduce his music to a whole new generation. Bravo to the producers and to Luis Miguel for allowing the series to be made.
