Season 1 ep 1 - "Chapter 1" 

I didn't know what to expect from this TV series, or what direction it would take. I watched the first episode after a busy day at the beach, but despite my tiredness, the episode managed to keep me focused and give me a few laughs. 

Gala's husband, I found to be a first rate piece of shit, and not because of the debts, but because of how he ran away leaving Gala and their daughter behind. 

Julia, the main character's mother, is extremely funny and I don't think she suffers from memory lapses as much as she wants to believe.

While Kate, the daughter, is the classic representation of the pain-in-the-ass teenager that we find in all the TV series.

The farmer, I don't understand if he's a character I like or not. It's in that gray area of ​​indecision.

In some scenes Gala reminded me of Gabrielle from desperate houswifes, perhaps because both are characters who are married to rich men and come from nowhere. 

Season 1 ep 2 - "Chapter 2" 

I have to admit, even though Kate's dad is a real asshole, the talk he had with his daughter regarding transsexuality was a good talk, and above all honest.

Let's say Julia really had a lot of fun when she was young, and I think the cop might be in the running for " WHO'S THE GALA'S FATHER CONTEST." 

Amat's gesture of giving money (her own) to Gala to go and pick up Kate at the airport was very nice. I'm curious to know his story now. I hope they update us in the next episode

Season 1 ep 3- "Chapter 3" 

Season 1 ep 4 - "Chapter 4" 

I found Julia's scenes really hilarious. Especially the ones where he hit on one of the thieves. 

Kate made fewer jokes in this episode, but those few were deeper than the others in previous episodes.

The same cannot be said of Amat, who had few lines, and even useless ones. However, I think he will have more relevance in the next episode, when he will clearly try to save Gala and her family.
