That was an excellent one.

Thanks for the memories!

Strong and Moving!

SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Unlike the previous review states, Catalina Creel is not a "one-eyed" villain, and therein lies the tale. This is the classic Mexican telenovela with the classic arch-villainess and unwitting victims. Unlike most other telenovela productions, Cuna de lobos starts in the style of classic drama, truly in medias res, with its basic complications revealed in the first episode, and it only gets better from there. What nuances Cuna de lobos in particular (besides its high fashion costuming of the period) is that the evil rubs off, suggesting an sequel—that has never been made. Backstory: Alejandro Camacho (Alejandro, Alex) and Rebecca Jones (Vilma) continued their television romance and had a child together. Camacho has recently appeared as another (older) telenovela villain in "Abismo de pasión," and Jones has had several recent telenovela roles (2011–2013). María Rubio (Catalina) still works the villain angle in the US broadcast of "Una familia con suerte" (2013). Diana Bracho (Leonora Navarro), along with her family, deserves a closer look from anyone interested in Mexican cinema or television; her father was Julio Bracho and her aunt, the luminous Andrea Palma. Diana Bracho is an award winning actress who has been president of the Mexican Academy.

"Cuna de Lobos" is the Latin-American soap opera to which all other soaps have had to measure themselves to. This was a non-traditional story in which instead of the usual "star-crossed lovers" or the "Cinderella story", the characters went to extremes to get what they wanted, in this case, the custody of a child that for one couple would ensure a social status, and for one half of the second, was the stolen child. Everyone had a motive and was not what they seemed, which ensured plausible plot twists.Based almost directly on "The Anniversary" (1968) (down to Maria Rubio's channeling of Bette Davis as her Catalina Creel character) and with clever references on "Dressed to Kill" (1980), this is a soap that demands to be seen and re-seen.

I've watched this show twice, as it has to my knowledge been aired twice in my country. I found it amusing and captivating - funny, and cliched in the worst ways, yet interesting enough to keep us coming back. Not worth 120 eps, but hey... It's a telenovela!

This Mexican soap opera had the highest ratings ever when broadcasted. Catalina Creel is the head of the Creel dynasty, and would do anything to get a grand son. The main problems are: She hates his older son to the point of driving him crazy with guilt over a childhood accident and the other, the one she loves,is married to an sterile woman. Catalina Creel is a proud one eyed woman, capable of killing, destroying, cheating and more in order to do things her way. Maria Rubio´s interpretation of her will forever be remembered.
