Señora Acero

I love watching foreign language films and shows Chinese, Japanese, South Korean, French etc. I started watching Señora Acero at the start of the year got hooked on it from drama to violence and crime everything a show or film needs to be enjoyable!. Blanca Soto is a amazing actress one in which I will be keeping an eye out for in the future.

Don't get me wrong there are issues with the show for one its hard to find episodes that are English subbed I live in Ireland so going onto the Telemundo is out of the option because I'm not in Mexico or America and their YouTube channel does not have all the full episodes so you miss a lot of what happens and not all the episodes are subbed and a few that are not subbed properly!! which is FRUSTRATING!!. Even their DVD's can be hard to find and they're not subbed either I understand some Spanish not a lot. Even with these issues I love it I hope they will get there act together and realize they are missing an opportunity to broadcast it worldwide for millions more to view because not everyone understands Spanish but they still enjoy watching Foreign films subtitled and this is one of the best crime drama television shows I have seen.

I binge watched the show even though I found the violence a bit over the top! Blanca Soto, what an actress! I think the producers struggled after her death because the starting episodes of season 3 are weak and if you're one of the loyal fans, you'll still be mourning Sara until the show picks up again, which it does. Brilliant performances by Jorge Zarate, Michel Duval, and Carolina Miranda, my favourites throughout, besides Sara. All in all I enjoyed the series and I would watch it over and over again if there weren't so many series on Netflix now. Kudos to you Roberto Stopello for creating such an unforgettable show!

Some of the worse acting I've seen from any country. However, it written well. So I'll suffer through the end.

Mexican Star/Model/Producer, 5ft 10ins Blanca Soto headlines this gripping series about the Drug Cartels in Mexico, and I learned (perhaps more than I ever wanted to) about the inhuman culture and thought processes of the Kingpins and their Cartel members.

Example(s): Don't get married, other Cartels will kidnap your wife, ditto with your kids or even a full time girlfriend; whatever your weak spot is, the Cartels will exploit it - so stay in the Ranch House, just like a gang - drink and rent girls as and when. No problemo. Loyalty is an absolute, step out of line and you're dead. Simple.

At times overly violent and bloody, Blanca gives a great performance becoming the Lady Boss after an unfortunate event, and whatever the men can do, she'll show that she can do it better and more profitable.

Long series, about 170 odd episodes and you'll need to use the CC at times, although a lot of English is also used. So sit back, enjoy the wild and bullet-ridden ride; they don't make them like this anymore.

IF you liked this Telenovela, check out 'The Mafia Dolls' (Las Munecas de la Mafia) next. Just as good with a different twist.

I don't speak Spanish. So glad the show has subtitles. I started watching after I finished Celia, the Grand Hotel, and The Lord of the Skies. The segments are fun to watch, and I just can't help but count the number of times the actors state, "¿Que?" I also can't believe that Telenova only had Blanca Soto sign only a two year contract! I doubt she will amazingly come back from the dead, but who really knows? One of the most beautiful women on Television, without a doubt!

The absolute worst acting on the show was by "Teca." Every time someone was after him, I tried to yell at them, "He's in the next room." Too bad his baseball career ended. He was a much better pitcher than actor.

Watching these telenovelas in seasons of 70-90 episodes is what I really like. Lots of action, romance, and sex. Even though all of it starts with the guys shirt being pulled over his head, and the women all having sex, but with their bras on, or getting out of the sack, post coitus wearing bras and panties, must represent a new way of getting naked like everyone else does?..

Fun show to watch. I completely enjoy viewing it. Very addictive.show!
