In the wake of success from other Telemundo super series such as 'El Rey de Los Cielos' and 'Señora Acero', someone thought it'd be a good idea to make a sequel from the original 'Sin Senos No Hay Paraiso". They were very wrong. For starters, in her efforts to play the role of a teenager, 32 yr old Carolina Gaitan has dumbed herself down so much that the "new Cata" is painful to watch. Carmen Villalobos, in her original role, played a much more believable teenager: smart, sassy, stubborn and very relatable. The 'new Cata' leaves much to be desired. The new series tries to answer questions that were left open ended in the original, Those questions however are not worth enough to keep a viewer interested in this spin off. At the time, those questions were left up the viewer's discretion as to their answer and within that lies the magic of the original series. 'Sin Senos No Hay Paraiso' was a social, moral, political commentary on the state of young women in Latin America that left a powerful message on its viewers. The sequel is disappointing, it tries too hard to build excuses for Cata's family who let her down so long ago and haven't gained an ounce of wisdom in the years since. An unnecessary sequel which attempts to tarnish the legacy of the original.
score 3/10
