Celia (2015)
Frustrating but good watch
I think most people didn't realize what they were getting into when they started watching the show. It wasn't show in the History channel, and it wasn't a biography either. With that in mind, I really liked Celia's story. I watched it on Netflix so I was able to skip most of Lola's stories and all the damn flashbacks (WAY TOO MANY). The characters tried their best to portrait Cuban people, but seriously no one in Cuba says "plata" when talking about money, some barely even tried to have a Cuban accent. There were so many of those little things that just destroy the illusion but overall it was OK.
I give it a 5 because if you cut all the unnecessary plots (Lola's) and flashbacks the show would probably be closer to 40 episodes. The lip sync was also a bit weird at moments (probably edited badly) and the way people got old in the show was really weird and confusing. So my advice if you are considering watching is to skip all the flashbacks and scenes with Lola in them.
