UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
ok_english_bt The positive reception this series has received isn't hard to understand. 'Vida' deals with interesting themes related to family and cultural identity, and it's actually well put together and acted. But why are all the male characters useless good-for-nothings: Lyn's boyfriend (unfaithful and irresponsible), her ex- (exploitative and superficial), Nelson the realtor and property developer (conned the sisters' mother, scheming financial predator), Mari's 'activitist' boyfriend (dishonest, manipulative), Emma's male colleagues from her workplace (in Chicago?) (unsympathetic, immature, sexist) ... sorry, but it just goes on and on and ON! Vida is a rogues gallery of male characters!I understand the drama is centred on the lives of women (the 2 sisters and lesbian 'wife' of their late mother, particularly), and perhaps there's a need to get back at men for all the years of hurt etc. But using unrelenting negative male (latino male?) stereotypes is a bit short-sighted. The story loses it's credibility in my view.I only point this out because it spoilt my enjoyment of the series, otherwise pretty good, and while I noticed 'Vida' picked up a 100% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, I hope they'll improve it in Season 2 by including more-rounded male characters along with the current ensemble.
bigcd-98659 I turned this show on during a free preiivew of the starz channel and let me proudly say that i adore what i saw this is a family that doesnt sugar code things yes they call each other how they really feel when they feel it this is what i call a true real family and the shows pretty funny as well be warned the show does contain graphic content nudity swearing even ocasinal family violince' but otherwise a very fresh and nice show
lupirodriguez Keep this show going Please! Very good acting with Latinos. Finally!
tadaia I can't remember where I heard about this show but it was early 2018. I was interested because the themes and characters seemed a bit unique and different than most anything else on tv. I noted the date for the premier and caught up to the four episodes over the holiday. Wow! What a show! I'm not Mexican American but it feels very authentic. What was most impressive was that I immediately identified and connected with the characters. The writers have done a fantastic job conceptualizing each character and creating meaningful and realistic relationships between them. I cared about their stories and where they were headed after the only the first episode. It's the kind of excellent writing that transcends any particular ethnicity or culture. It's Starz so there's a fair amount of sex, which works here; but that component is less a distraction and more a compliment to the overall show. The only disappointment was finding out how short this season is... only 6 episodes. I sincerely hope that Starz brings this back soon. Highly recommend!
