Eva Lasting

It is a Netflix Series with flawless art direction. Emotional, Eva Lasting is too funny with a great setting of 70´s in Bogotá, Colombia; a spectacular cast and according to each moment of story it has a wonderful literature references about different writers, specially about latin american boom.

The soundtrack is amazing due to it leads the viewer to remember memorable times of our fathers and their school moments; Disco Music and romantic balads of Anita Ward, Roberto Carlos, Camilo Sesto, Etc. (Read this singing "you can ring my beeeeeeeell, ring my bell..."

As well, the cinematography has a sthetic fineness through a fine composition and the seria has a great actors direction.

Finally, throughout to series, it shows important elements about colombian idiosyncrasy by means of a romantic comedy. So, such as in all series, tv shows, movies, it has a little bad details for example long dialogues but I fell that are necessary in order to create a good context of the epoch.

Really, I hope a second season.

Eva's character feels really out of place in the show. Her feminism and rebellious attitude feels forced especially because the story is set in the 70's in Colombia. The series just brushes into serious topics and doesn't develop them into the storyline (what happened to Pabon, how about the storyline of each boy's family, we just get glances and then a character is moved out). The story in itself feels very unrealistic. In a classist society, like Colombia, a wealthy teen like Eva would never mingle with boys from the working class. There have been other pretty good series dealing with teen issues such as Décimo grado and Francisco el matemático that could have been used as reference to develop a more cohesive story. I'd be surprised if the series is renewed for Season two.

Season 1 trailer and cover photo caught my attention;

the plot, characters, casting, chemistry, sound/music, nostalgia, and cinematography reeled me in;

but it was the script, concept, and great writing that really cemented is as one of the BEST shows - specially on adolescence and philosophy.

Season 2 was even better than the first for me, though it was a close one. The character development was on point specially with the forward and backward development as it is in real life. I love that the characters actually act as kids their age and that adults act theirs too. The first half was like a preview of the first season plus much more, the second half was some sort of a sweet goodbye and a prologue for season 3..

I loved it and I'll definitely rewatch this a lot until the next season comes! Hopefully it wont disappoint.

The show wasn't perfect by all means, but it could be if you focus on all the great points and just enjoy it as it was presented.

P. S. I don't speak the language so I need english subtitles when I watch, so I hope they did a great job with translation.

One of the best shows if not the best I've seen in my life, the script, the photography and all the elements are just so good! The director and everyone involved in this show has a clear image of Colombia and how they want to portray it. I'm so happy and I'm so proud that there's a show like this. Funny dramatic and it's just fantastic! Everyone has to see it.

It's so well put together and it really shows Colombian culture in a nutshell. Well done! And I can't wait to see more of this show or more like this! It's definitely an 11/10.

It really shows how creative the director is by the camera angles and colours. It's so much fun. If you haven't watched it yet.. what are you waiting for?

Wow! This is a Latinamerican great realize. Maybe it's not a new story about teenagers falling in love and boys getting into troubles. But the story is continuously funny, unspected, lovely, and specially spontaneous.

Every character has been created like a real picture of a teenager. And everyone has been acted naturally and charmingly. Camilo is my favourite, obviously. What a plausible performance of Emmanuel Restrepo. Every body posture, every voice tone, every blinking was in the right moment, in the right line.

Congratulations for an amazing production recreating retro scenarios, bringing back fashion designs, automobiles, even social rules that today are questioned.

Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!

PS I want one or tow seasons more.
