    Mumbled storyline

    It seems that they ran out of storyline, then they decided to form a story like a ten year old child. There's no connection between yeni and Carlos, and I m sorry to say this, they would have used a more attractive lady for the role of yeni. Also there's a lot of loops holes in the story. At some point I didn't understand what they were doing, my advice is that you should watch it on the speed of 1.25 or 1.5. Though I must commend Nora and Julia, they acted their roles well, Roberto acts reluctantly, he seems not to enjoy his role. Yeni' s acting got better and also looked better towards the end of the show.

    It's hard to watch.

    The main chick Yani acting needs help. Her expressions, her gestures her everything lol... needs help. The show seems to go on and on by episode getting no where! A lot of people roles in this series could have been omitted. The whole seria could have been over in episode One... but nooo they drag it out to a complete mess... the show drags to the point where it's hard to watch and stupid things start to happen because they need to make episodes. 24 episodes of complete stupidity.... They talk about this "Indian" chick Yani. But honestly she looks Hispanic/Mexican. I'm no racist AT ALL. However I wish they could have found a better Surrogate because someone about her is not sexy or appealing to the eye.

    very bad - one of the worst tv shows out there

    This is one of the worst tv shows I've ever seen. It has a "good story" but it wasn't delivered correctly. This could have been 6 episodes maximum, 24 is just excessive. The story just drags and drags with new characters that don't really add much. A lot of scenes were completely unnecessary, adding nothing to the story. Yeni's acting performance is just awful. A lot of characters could have been omitted and it would have been better. I couldn't continue watching it after episode 12. It's very very hard to watch, there was a point i which I was very confused as to what was happening, I had no idea what the plot was. I don't recommend it.

    Well worth watching

    This is a long series - 24 episodes. I have read a number of reviews here and acknowledge some of the weaknesses - not well known actors, some scripting and storyline difficulties etc. However, this series is well worth watching. Obviously some reviewers have NOT watched the series - the plot does NOT talk about identical twins, rather it is dizygotic pregnancy (look it up!!). Here the story touches on issues such as racism and prejudice in Mexico, the role of indigenous persons, power and abuse by the elite, indigenous culture, sexual identity, class distinction, greed and many other classic themes. And it does so very well. I agree, it is probably too long and could be shortened, but 'The Surrogacy' is well worth watching.

    Did you know

    • Goofs
      Nora mentions a few times throughout the series that the company belonged to her parents, which doesn't make sense as Huizar is her married name. If it belonged to her parents, it would have their name.
