Season 3 RUINED the show.

Are you KIDDING me?

The writers of the show completely insulted the audiences intellegence when it came to season 3. Half of the show was long and drawn out flashbacks. Even though the story is a MESS, we don't need to be reminded EVERY 5 MINUTES.
I counted and in one episode, the show consisted of 15 minutes of flashbacks. FIFTEEN MINUTES.

Also has Catalina forgotten about the fact Vanessa helped her ALL the time in seasons 1 and 2, she gets kidnapped by the cannibal and Catalina doesn't really seem to care about her missing friend and even trades her in for a shiny, new one. She even leaves for Bogota without knowing where her childhood friend is. She didn't even put a flyer up or ANYTHING. Ecen thoughultimately, her and her family fued with La Diabla and Daniela have caused ALL of this. Like the situation with Daniel Ceron and his pregnant girlfriend who got abducted by Martin (for whatever reason). And they barely helped him. Those two suffered tragedy after tragedy courtesy of the Santana family. But it was all swept under the rug by them.

Also it's very hard to root for characters that are so unbelivably dull. I'm so glad I don't have to put up with Catalina and Nachito anymore. And are we still pretending that the two actors have any chemistry? Absolutely painful.

And don't even get me started on Martin's sudden descent into...whatever that was. I loved the idea that he was a serial killer obsessed with Catalina all of a sudden but then it got slightly ridiculous.

Hilda seems to have lost her charm, and why is her ex husband living in the house with them? They really are desperate to get Albeiro and Catalina La Grande back together again, huh? ALSO IS ALBEIRO NOT WORRIED ABOUT HIS NEW CHILD? The child got stolen and they just let it go. And was he serious when he said he was in love with her? Or? The two of them had the best chemistry in the show.

And don't get me started on the introduction of black magic and witches and curses. Which also didn't really get cleared up. Or did I just miss that? I may have skipped out of boredom.
The woman playing possessed Paula was laughable.

Half of the really good characters died. Filthy, Pipe, Octavio, Danela.

And when Daniela died, so did a part of the show. We see Yesica grow crazier by the day. Driving around with her daughters preserved dead body. Brilliant. That scene gave me chills.
However, I never thought in the beginning, that I would ever be sad over her dying. After Calvo *basically* raping her and not even winning the pageant, she was tired of playing second fiddle to Catalina and decided to end it all. Whether it was a serious cry for help or if she intended on dying that day, we'll never know. I really missed her. Imagine her VS Mariana.

The addition of Dayana and Mariana. They are unbearable to watch. Every time they're on screen, I just want to die. Insufferable. I just need them both to die.

And the biggest betrayal of all?

Replacing Majida Issa. How could they think this was a good or clever idea?
That woman carried the ENTIRE show and everybody knows it.
I obviously don't respect myself because I will be watching Season 4 but I refuse to enjoy it.

You should absolutely watch this but get ready to be disappointed come the third act.
RUINED.
