Correct the crown, goddess. Having bought an ad for The Crowned Goddess on Telemundo, I expected to see something promising, exciting and radically different from other telenovelas. So when I had the opportunity to watch it in Russian, there was no limit to my joy. The series was supposed to be a real event and for 32 episodes to amaze the viewer with something unimaginable.
But alas... Didn't work. I spent almost six months torturing this short novel. No action, no interesting and exciting topics, no sensible humor, no meaningful plot. “Goddess” could not conquer the sophisticated viewer absolutely nothing.
The producers and directors did a trick: in the very first series, we see moments from the finale of the series. This was done in order to warm up the interest of the viewer. The main intrigue throughout the series was the question: “What did Raquel do that she was being pursued by the police?” The answer was supposed to be backstory, but the writers ended up piling up modeling, prostitution, drugs, and money, leading to the loss of the show’s main line. Well, who is interested in watching the everyday life of a poor girl who married a rich man for thirty episodes without any special splashes in the plot?
What I have no complaints about is the cast. In my opinion, everyone played well. Thanks to The Crowned Goddess, I met some of the best actors in Colombia. In particular, with Carolina Guerra, Carolina Gaitan and Margarita Reyes. The girls played brilliantly, really got used to their roles.
In general, I do not regret that I watched this telenovela, although with difficulty, but he is very far from the popularity of other Telemundo series. Empty series.
