this show is more than good. Its NOT a soap with all flat characters and stupid and predictable situations. Its about a man who has two sons and a woman who has three daughters. When they get married, the worlds collide and you get hell of a lot fun and drama and action (well, not so much action). All the characters are more than unique and constant. The acting is brought to near perfection even by the youngest characters who seem to have a great future. The situations that the families and their friends get into are unique in every episode and what makes it interesting is that some problems stretch through 5 or 10 episodes and some get resolved right away. The show is beyond watchable. if you have the opportunity to follow the adventures of the family Serrano, do it. Its fun, dramatic, full of jokes and feelings. Again, its not a soap, its real acting, real situations, and all that in what is most important - a real world.

After enjoying four seasons I can tell that this is one of the best series ever, though the writers has been slacking of as of recent. The best feature is the use of the language the way it's supposed to be, uncensored. Television rules are different in European countries. If you are a Spanish speaking person you'd have a blast watching this series. The elder actors and actresses are veteran Spanish talents. Closed caption is not available until the third season. Season six finished up, however the first half of season five just became available on DVD in Spain.By the way, the DVD version of this series is only playable on PAL video. During the first seasons on DVD you could see behind the scenes, bloopers, etc. Seasons three and four only contains the main episodes.

When this show started it had quite a simple idea: the possible love story between a boy and girl who become brother and sister after their parents get married. Once the first season was over they were completely out of ideas and they just kept making chapters with the minimum effort required and putting whatever was necessary to keep up the share rate, usually sexual topics. The female main character's (eva) quasy-nudity became common and every possible morbid issue was treated in the worst way possible. They also simplified the plot making all the chapters almost identical: There's some kind of misunderstanding (usually the men are the ones who are wrong, because in this show heterosexual men are just totally irrational and simple beings who are always horny) where something terrible is suspected, finally women show them how things really are. Fran Perea's contribution is hard to forget: he can't sing nor act and he's not attractive but somehow he managed to make people forget those facts. Antonio Resines' performance is exactly the same that he always does in every show. This show has been used to launch Perea's and the children's musical career, being both suffered nowadays. 0 out of 1348

"Los Serrano" has been broadcast for the last two years to a great success among people of all ages. The secret of its success lies partly on the wisdom of writers, who have successfully aimed viewers from all ages as their targets. Thus, the Serrano family portrays the daily lives of a Brady Bunch-like family with a widower and a divorcée marrying and creating a new family with each one's children. Antonio Resines, one of our finest comic actors, plays the father, while Belén Rueda is as effective as ever as the mother. The eldest of their children (Fran Perea from one side, and Verónica Sánchez from the other) have at some points been the center of the series with their unsolved sexual chemistry, but perhaps writers should focus on other characters too.As it usually happens with Spanish TV series, the supporting cast excels the main one in many instances. A special mention should be made to Jesus Bonilla's uncle Santiago, and Antonio Molero's family friend, Fiti. Among the youngest actors, Alejo Sauras and Alexandra Jiménez are a lovely pair of goofy sidekicks to Fran Perea and Verónica Sánchez. Maybe it's not the best comedy ever made, but it's extremely watchable and the whole family can have fun with it. I hope we will be seeing a lot of "Los Serrano" in the years to come.
