Did you people see the same film I saw?

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Very light amusing distraction. Stuff for watching before bed with the wife.
(Avoid the follow-on Velvet Collection - which is trash)In the same genre - Spanish sloppy stuff - Grand Hotel is better.

Glad to have found this on Netflix (watched with english subtitles). Just finished watching. The characters, acting, costumes, were amazing. Love this time period.
The thing that bothered me most was the inconsistent time line (maybe due to translation, I don't know), and the unrealistic scenarios. For instance, one of the characters needs to get pregnant by her husband because she's pregnant by another man, and a few days after she has sex with her husband she says, "It worked, I'm pregnant." and the guy is excited. Like, um....you can't find out you're pregnant 2 days after you have sex - duh! This happened multiple times throughout the series, not to mention countless other inconsistencies with the timeline. Come on! Another example, someone goes to the doctor and walks out with a diagnosis that isn't possible in an hour. Some of the things were absolutely ridiculous, but a lot of the show was good. The other thing that annoyed me was how the business was run. No one just walks in and starts a product line without any prior business experience, etc. Puleeze. The more I write, the more I'm disappointed with the show. But, I loved so many of the characters. You definitely have your "heros" and "villians". The final season was a giant letdown, except for the last 2 episodes. It felt super rushed and just didn't flow like the other seasons. But after doing some reading, I now know why. Very predictable for the most part. I'd like to see the "spin-off" Velvet Collection, which focus on Anna and her product line, but I don't think Netflix has picked it up. Hopefully they do. I simply loved Ana.

The fashion (both men's and women's) and cars of this era were beautiful. The story line from beginning to end ran through all emotions but the friendships were wonderful. One thing I noticed throughout the series was the acting was so spot-on and I'm hard to please when it comes to watching movies. I would have liked a season five.

Oh puhleeze make more seasons!!! PUHLEEZE PUHLEEZE PUHLEEZE!!!! I'm drawing close to the end of Season 4! HELP!!!Normally, I find TV series rather boring, but this show had me totally entranced. In one of the particularly compulsively sagas, I was glued to my screen until 3am, then get up the next day & watched more over breakfast before going to work. I TOTALLY LOVE THIS SHOW!!! It's got it all, glamour, intrigue, great dialogue, sensational acting. Marvelous settings. You name it, it's there.
