I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Sorry, this movie sucks

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Show's got potential. sadly, every character is like a cartoon. also, sex has its place and time, but every other scene there's someone getting it on, masturbating, being naked just cause, in ways that are unnecessary to the plot, and it's not sexy, or "real," it's just annoying. it's all trying too hard. no go.

I can't remember where I heard about this show but it was early 2018. I was interested because the themes and characters seemed a bit unique and different than most anything else on tv. I noted the date for the premier and caught up to the four episodes over the holiday. Wow! What a show! I'm not Mexican American but it feels very authentic. What was most impressive was that I immediately identified and connected with the characters. The writers have done a fantastic job conceptualizing each character and creating meaningful and realistic relationships between them. I cared about their stories and where they were headed after the only the first episode. It's the kind of excellent writing that transcends any particular ethnicity or culture. It's Starz so there's a fair amount of sex, which works here; but that component is less a distraction and more a compliment to the overall show. The only disappointment was finding out how short this season is... only 6 episodes. I sincerely hope that Starz brings this back soon. Highly recommend!

So I totally don't get the bad reviews at all. It's a drama that explores human nature, identity, and culture. Not a mindbending plot, but fresh perspectives that are timely and very much needed to demonstrate the range of American life today.This show moves us well past Ugly Betty's America Ferrera and a second generation Latina making it in the world of NYC's fashion journalism scene. This also moves us past Modern Family's Sofia Vergara and the quintessential American blended family...On the one hand, this show fully explores intersectionality. Every protagonist is a female, and a second and third generation Latina in Los Angeles. The show also engages with class, immigration woes, and gentrification by female protagonists in a way I haven't seen before. The show also explores sexuality from the female gaze. The characters shatter the stereotypes about what it means to be Latino/a in the US today. On the one hand, this is totally an anti-Girls/post-SATC show. And at the same time, this is exactly the sort of thing that demonstrates the multitude of structural realities present in American life that Ta-Nehisi Coates critiques in "Between the World and Me". Identity is complicated, and reconciling multiple cultural pasts and presents is an ongoing process! The women of Vida are bad ass and finding their own way.

This show had to be the hardest thing to listen to or watch in a long time.The show covers a very real cultural gap between first generation Mexican parents and their children. It just chooses to do it in the worst way possible, amplifying stereotypes and making everyone sound like a jerk. While confronting the deeper communal divide between Mexican subcultures the show forgets Spanish altogether. It's not uncommon to hear "Spanglish" coming from Latinos in LA. More often than not someone will pick a language, Spanish or English, and stick with it for an entire sentence the best they can; If they don't know a word in one language they'll pop in with the language they do know it in. Not on Vida! One word every two or three sentences has to be belted out in Spanish with a forced accent to remind you, ey! These gente are Mexicans! Such a disparaging misrepresentation of the area, the people, and the language.Worst of all the story is flat. The young girl in the pink dress is Emma, she's being called back to a culture she's rejected for a career. Emma keeps calling her mother a hypocrite because Mexican parents can be staunch conservatives but her mother was a culturally unacceptable lesbian, blah blah blah.The obvious next step for this show is to have a drunk man in a gabán and sombrero firing revolvers into the air.
