It was kinda good, then the last episode happened
dililith16 March 2023
Of course you have to start on the grounds of fiction, otherwise, don't even attempt to watch.

The general story is entertaining, the characters are funny and the base of the story is likable, maybe even relatable; however there are a lot of plot-holes and there are things that get lost with so many components, it gets kinda convoluted. But that ending... oh sweet jesus... (facepalm) they start mixing everything, very crappy storytelling; that ending makes no sense. It's like they realized half way thought that they only had one episode left and threw everything in a blender and ta-dah! Additionally that ending gives stalker vibes. Like why do that?

Good story but WTF ending.
eversweet_silence27 September 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The story itself I actually liked, the pace was a bit strange at times but for the most part it is a time travel story, most critique the fact that it's a boring premise, but I disagree, the story is about Emma realising what was happening around her. I do think that they needed at least 2 more episodes, they leave you off with this strange ending that doesn't resolve anything. Like did the divorce? Why is he following her? The last bit talks of revenge and it's like...? Then it shows Ruben who almost has a look on his face as if he knows her and they both drive off in the same direction. A secret meet up? Are they involved and this whole thing was real? It just didn't make sense. What was on the chip? If it was just a basic thing, why do we see him going under fire? Why do we see the listening device planted at the parents house? Like it just DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

Good intentions but nothing to remember
elzorro-1441919 January 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I was following this show, as many here, expecting to find out what was all about. So ending was a little bit disappointing. I have to confess I felt a bit of envy with the friendship the characters kept. All of them were part of a group.

The ending explains a lot, everything was the result of a mental disorder... like a dream... so nothing has to make sense. The plot has to explain nothing, you do not need to make connections... characters are just manage by the damage brain of the protagonist. A pitty there is not, after all, time travel.

On top of that, everything is reduced to the discovery of an infidelity. Nothing more.

It's the ending the kills its own magic
Arlith16 April 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The show is fast paces, puzzling, silly, goofy, touching... it has a really cool idea about time travel and cleverly implements supernatural elements of that. I was thoroughly enjoying it at at the 8th episode, wondering what was going to happen next but then everything got really freaking weird.

It started to look like they were going to pull a tired and used "can't think of a better ending so let's say it was allll a dream" trope to wrap it up. They didn't finish any of the plots before this happened, so it feels like halfway through the show someone told the writers "Hey guys, I know we're halfway in but this is now the last episode, wrap it up."

I haven't written a review in about 8 years but this was such a lame ending I had to warn other people lol. Watch it but I promise you, you'll probably regret it because you invest your real time into watching this to only realize ZERO plots get resolved, and that nothing meant anything because nothing happened after all.

Great story, but ...
eli-walter27 February 2023
First: very bad dubbing in English.

I decided to watch the series from episode two in European Spanish with English subtitles.much better. The reading also distracts from the bad acting.

But also then ... very very bad acting, stupid predictable characters and parts of the story are not matching.

... I would have stopped at episode two or three... but I want to see how it ends.

So I will continue with episode 4 and give it a 6/10 for now. Only for the story!

I wished the story will be picked up by some other production team and comes as a remake with great actors in native English placed in USA instead of Europe.

Really liked it but the ending was so so
emilietingstad20 February 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I quite enjoyed this show, even though of course it's a bit unlogical but that didn't really matter too much. The story is interesting and it's an interesting concept. I really liked the different characters, and especially the parents of Emma, they were wonderful. You do end up feeling like there's a lot of loose ends that you would have liked to get an explanation for, but their ending kind of justifies why we won't get all the answers we want, but kind of a lazy ending. Wished there was two more episodes where we could have seen everything that happens with the chip and with Rubén, but it's still a nice watch.

Don't watch it! Don't waste your time.
mahamj05_30 December 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Nothing makes sense, nothing at all. There's no spark, no twists, boring scenes, boring dialogues, no connections, things were just happening for no reason at all. The acting was pathetic, the actors seemed to have no sense of direction. What was the story? What was the message? Omg! The most pathetic show I have watched my entire life. I am a fond of time travel, deja vu movies but this show took advantage of it and sucked the soul out of it. So bad that I would have to think twice now before watching anything in this genre. The only reason I kept watching was in hope for it to make any sense but it didn't. So, I watched the later episodes in fast forward to survive.

I loved it!
ivanasepy3 November 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I can't believe the rating for this show is so low- I really enjoyed it!

All actors are great, especially Megan Montaner who is extremely talented and expressive. The locations, both interior and exterior, are beautiful, and the soundtrack is excellent. The lenght of episodes is just right for the pace of the story.

My only objections concern the story itself- it could have been an episode shorter, and the ending *SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER* is a variation of "it was all a dream" trope, which was a bit dissapointing, considering the whimsical element of the "blood moon" which could have been used better. *END OF SPOILER*

All things considering, I really loved it and would recommend it!

Total waste of time
ftzfatema27 November 2022
2 star because of the ending that explains all the stupidest, nonsensical, non connected story that was shown throughout the series.

I started watching this series as the teaser seemed interesting to me but I was bored since the first episode. I kept watching hoping something good to happen but it continued that way. The comedies were to lame and the story was total disaster. There were so many things that were so confusing but as the ending was shown, I could comprehend the incoherencies in the story. But still that doesn't justify the lameness of the story.

This series is a total waste of time. However if one has vast amount of time to waste, one can continue watching it.

Awesome show
kacurkova28 November 2022
Warning: Spoilers
This show touched me deeply and made me reflect on my own life journey and all the "coincidences" that got me here today. The storyline is good, photography, locations, I absolutely loved the performance of the actress that plays Emma, I immediately identified with her and lived through the events in the show like they were happening to me. I specially was touched by the ending because it was real life, it wasn't a "by the book" ending from Hollywood. It was an inward journey and mostly all the things that happened we're actually internal reflections and I love how it was brought to life by which is not an easy task. Well done!

What happened
Raeleesun11 November 2023
The last episode should have been thrown in the trash cause it was straight nonsense, I mean come on! The writers could have written something that made more sense. The last episode they make it seem like the lady is on an acid trip with all the crazy scenarios.

Is there a movie out there where the person goes back in time for a redo and is actually happy about getting that chance?

So many ways this could have been written differently and turned out to be a great show.

I hope they don't make another season out of this and waste more people's time.

I did like the main actress though and I could feel her emotions. So hopefully she gets a chance in better roles. I however felt all the other actors need more practice or maybe their character wasn't a correct fit.

One of the worst shows I've watched
andrezstar16 November 2022
Love movies and shows and I gotta say this is probably one of the worst shows I've watched in my life.

The idea is quite alright, not original because it's based on deja vu movies but it could hae turned out well.

Eventually, good looking actors, beautiful scenarios in wonderful Seville, but terrible dialogs and story development. Ridiculous switches and unbelievable turns. Really complicated to get attached to the show.

The end is just unexplained and not logic

The actors are just average, nothing extraordinary. Main character ain't good and we just see some flesh from time to time

Music is totally awful. It does not stick to the moment at any time.

Overall it's a Spanish Bruce Willis wannabe movie with a mix of almodovar and cheap humour jokes.. . A total disgrace

Really did not enjoy it. I wanted to stop watching it many times but as episodes ain't long we ended up finishing it.

Loved it apart from the ending
sue-0623918 November 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I love Spanish language films and shows, and will watch the gorgeous Miquel Fernandez in anything. I had never seen him in a comedy before, and this was a nice change.

I really enjoyed this - the beautiful Seville scenery, the humour and the lovey tight-knit group of friends, plus Emma's parents were great.

It's an intriuing storyline However, that ending - what the hell are we supposed to think would happen next? I hated the lack of finality to it.

Being a hopeless romantic I'd hoped for better.

Only 8 episodes and each less than 40 minutes long, so an easy watch but don't expect to be satisfied by the ending.

Embarrassingly Bad
Holli_Would29 April 2023
Where to begin? Firstly, don't waste your time.

The premise sounded good but there are so many issues with this series. Bad acting, bad execution, horrible wigs, BAD ACTING, unlikable lead, bAd aCTiNg, unrealistic plots...endless issues.

I gave it more than a fair shot, but dear God. One of the first things to irritate me? The main character goes on a first date and gets a slight nosebleed that looks like she has chocolate stuck to her nostril, but THEN when she sees her date and he points out the nosebleed to her, while the blood is nowhere else on her face, there's suddenly enough on her blouse to look like she murdered someone, like?!!! I was so annoyed but tried to give it a chance but, no, ridiculous things like that kept happening.

Did I mention the BAD ACTING? Ugh.

Novela/time travel/marriage/divorce sounds good right?
lordhuron3 July 2023
If you are looking for a mini series that explores the themes of marriage, divorce, friendships, time travel, and past regrets, you might want to check out this one. It is a captivating story that follows the lives of four friends who get a chance to go back in time and change their decisions. Along the way, they face unexpected consequences and learn valuable lessons about love, loyalty, and happiness. The series is well-written, well-acted, and well-directed, with a satisfying ending that ties up all the loose ends. The episodes are short and engaging, making it easy to binge on a weekend. I enjoyed watching this series and I can only recommend this. It is a refreshing and realistic take on the what-if scenarios that we all wonder about sometimes. Give it a try and see for yourself! 😊 sometimes its worth it to ignore some reviews.

Good idea, terrible way to conduce the story.
juliagarioliferreira17 June 2023
Good idea, terrible way to conduce the story. Just another worst than basic love story, nothing new, no drama, no romance. It could have been a really sentimental experience of regret and learning. Ended being just people using time travel to make money (???) and a terrible cliche love story. Waist of time and idea.

HORRIBLE
racinghugo7 March 2023
Worst show I have seen in a long time. Soooo sad about the fact that I won't recover the time I spent watching this horror show. The best thing about this show is the ending, because I knew for a fact that the suffering was over. Good bunch of actors but a horrible, horrible script and story development. Run, and don't look back if somebody asks you to watch this show. It makes no sense, it has no connection to reality, they chose a region where people speak with a very particular accent, and non of the characters use it or are from that region. It is very tough to get past the second episode.

Loved it ... but a bit disappointed 💔
samarmohd20 December 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Im shocked that the rating is that low it deserves more rating I love time travel shows but I was so disappointed at the ending The story line is amazing and loved all the actors Amazing story and amazing acting .

But I was really disappointed at the end it could continue to be a time travel story with the same thing that happened before she went back in time and both Emma and Robin would meet again I really hoped it was real and Emma an Robin would be together again 😢💔 I absolutely loved Michel Noher and I wanted to see him more in the show It would be lovely to see another season where the story could be better Im totally in love with the characters.

WTF?!?!? Disastrous, stupid, total nonsense!
marylizw200119 November 2022
What a total waste of time!!! I allowed myself to get suckered into this disaster of a series because I kept waiting for it to make sense! But oh my god! It was so stupid and senseless and as they would say in Spanish "sin pie no cabeza" Do not Easter your time! The few shots of Sevilla and Paris were the ONLY nice things! Total disaster! The people who created this are the ones who need to have their brains checked! It was total nonsense! Terrible acting, terrible script, insanely stupid and discombobulated storyline... Not worth a second of your attention! Save yourself! Is the moral of the story to appreciate what you've got? Infidelity is wrong? Stress causes brain hemorrhage? Seriously! What does it all mean?! I'm ashamed for the actors! And m sorry I wasted my time!

Waste of time
passer-4969420 August 2023
Like many other reviews on here, it's a total waste of time watching this series. The idea, from the first episode, was promising but it has deteriorated so much that it has become boring and desperate. It is loaded with scenes that do not contribute anything and situations that try to be funny without being funny at all (with the good humor that Spanish series have!). It seems that the entire series is the whim of the producer or director to do something that was only in her mind without good taste or intelligence. I have given two stars for the acting of some cast members. Even the ending is pathetic and simple. I can think of dozens of ideas to find appropriate, original and interesting endings. Please don't ever give money to the person who did this to produce more series.
