The Montaners (2022)
1/10
Unironically and unapologetically bad
26 November 2022
From beginning to the end, it is plagued with bad acting, The Montaners seem too dishonest, every episode has a sub plot that makes it obvious the ture nature is self advertisement, without any real substance. Going back to the acting, I've looked up these people, having followed Ricardo for quite a long time, after seeing many alegations regarding his family on social media it was intrigued and decided to look the first 5 episodes... It is not worth it, It would seem that they agreed on a script (hopefuly because if they act in such a way in their day-to-day then they need help). The show seems like uncondimented rice, fake laughs and quite honestly fake 10 Stars reviews around here.

Going back to the details, It is cringy how Mr Ricardo interacts with the in-laws, it seems as if he was "adopting" and assimilating the in laws to extend the relatable narrative, although they are the definition of failed nepo babies, their individual career doesn't seem to hold a candle to their sponsor Ricardo. I wished to see the old Ricardo, the one that wrote so many big hits, that seemed to be genuine. Instead we got a preacher with an over-pushed Venezuelan accent, it seems like each passing year he becomes more "maracaucho" even though he hasn't been there in a decade or lived in Venezuela in about 2-3 decades.

To end the review the sons (and daughter) show little range of emotions, they seem to be managed completely by their parents, never fully showing who they are, if they are something at all.

I did wanted to see Alejandro Montaner as I remember watching his career live and thinking, this is the man that will take the torch and go to the next level as a father-son musicians. Unfortunately it seems that this is "Some of The Montaners " and not The Montaners (unless the other guy is excommunicated).
