With fast and witty line, strong physical comedy, and old-fashioned fun, Telenovela could be NBC's guiding light. [11 Dec 2015, p.54]

Longoria remains radiant. Whether a sitcom spoofing soap opera is still relevant in 2015 remains to be seen--but this one is certainly a worthy addition to your weekly viewing. Read full review

While Longoria is the draw, her supporting cast is just as entertaining, including Jeancarlos Canela as her ex-husband, Amaury Nolasco as the soap’s villain, Diana-Maria Riva as Ana’s best friend and Alex Meneses as Ana’s nemesis. Read full review

As holiday gifts go, Telenovela, starring Eva Longoria as a Miami-based soap star, is a happy one: appealing, sweet, witty, traditional in its bones, modern in its complexion. Read full review

Telenovela can be fun, if only the show knew the difference between silly and dumb. Read full review

Watching everyone on Telenovela emote every last plot point directly at the camera starts to wear after a while. Read full review

Episode called "Rivals" is the funniest thing! We've watched it over and over. All those Romeo and Juliet references between the two gay lovers were hilarious. Even a balcony scene. We loved the rival Sexy Scientists too. This is our new favorite show.

I was pleasantly surprised by it. To be honest I was ecstatic that I gave it a shot. Witty lines, excellent physical comedy and as a resident of Miami, the fun it pokes at the city and our way of thinking towards certain things is spot on. I hope NBC realizes that this Eva Longoria led comedy has the chops to be something.… Expand

I like this show! It has potential! I can see some of it is silly but it is evolving! Fast and entertaining. The show grows on you. I hope they continue fine tuning the humor with a fun, witty and sophisticated approach.

Nothing about the first two episodes of this show worked for me. The jokes were tired, the casting and story felt forced, and it was a complete bore. I'm not sure how this show makes it long term, or why NBC is pushing it so hard.
