Me encanta esta serie. La vi por primera vez en Atresplayer y desde entonces desee comprar mi propia Copia. La version Bluray tiene una excelente resolucion y todos los episodios estan en Widescreen format.

Great quality of the DVD. Enjoyed the series

Awesome series. Wish was in English. Hoping more seasons are coming?

It was great, I enjoyed each one of their roles and the story!!!

Quality is poor, keeps freezing.

I’ve just finished watching the entire series on Netflix. I’m not sure what kept me watching. I love Spanish, and when I read it I can understand about 75% without difficulty, maybe more, but I could barely understand a word of what these people said, apart from very common words. It’s being Castilian is not the problem, but their speaking very fast, colloquial Spanish with a lot of consonants left out.Most of the women on the show who have substantial roles are wonderful. Valeria, the little girl, has such a delightful grin. Julia is so beautiful and has so much love in her eyes. Vilma is great, and the girl from Ecuador. The cook is excellent. Of the men, Bubble (Babuja) is terrific—great and difficult performance. Three men stand out for their silliness. Maybe these characters were supposed to be funny, but I just found them disgusting part of the time (when they weren’t annoying, I liked them). The captain and the first mate were both such prudish cowards when it came to romance or commitment or physical contact with the women they loved. They were like a couple of six year old girl-haters. They were both so stubborn, both had towering tempers at the expense of reason, both were slow on the uptake when they needed to understand things, both were martinets in the worst Spanish stereotype going back to the conquistadores, both were generally wrong, both were so threatened by anything different. It might have been okay in a movie, but for 45 hours? Plus, these two cried at least once, and often more, in nearly every episode. They hugged each other over and over, as did many other characters. Not what I’d expect from a Captain. The young man Píti was unbearably immature, unable to keep his mouth shut, saying whatever came to mind, no matter how inappropriate, and so sex-obsessed. Hard to watch him except when he was being decent.There were supposed to be 40 people on the boat, but we rarely saw that many. At times there were sailors who knew how to hoist a sail. More often, the ship seemed to sail without sailors. Sometimes it anchored in place with sails up. It had a big diesel engine, but where were the machinists? Kids dive into the water for a swim while the sails are up! Bad guys in the jungle shot thousands of rounds of ammunition they don’t seem to be carrying, and mostly without hitting anyone. Removing a bullet is all it takes to cure someone. Endless nonsense of this sort.Still, I watched it all. Maybe because I liked the women’s smiles. To some extent, the show was supposed to be a bit like Gilligan’s Island, when it comes to silly men, but it didn’t pull it off.One other thing. If you watch this series, pay very close attention to the fast sections at the beginning and the end. Sometimes they are reviews of what happened last week or previews of what will happen next week, but much of them is revealing information about what happens that won’t appear in the next episode. If you don’t pay attention, you’ll end up wondering how something happened.
