I met Luis Miguel during the shooting of the television commercial seen in the First Episode of Season 1. Commercial. It was the first time I had ever auditioned for a television commercial and I was pleasantly surprised to learn that I had been cast for this Sabritas ad, plus the fact that we were shooting with famous Mexican singer, Luis Miguel.
I arrived at the shooting location early in the morning and we began at around 9AM. While we were waiting between shots, I was standing right next to Luis Miguel, and we began talking. He said 'It's a great day to do a commercial and I said, 'It sure is'.
Luis Miguel is a very nice guy. He is easy going and very mellow. We were talking about everything and laughing and now that I look back, it feels like he's someone I know.
His father was there but I did not know who his father was at the time, but I saw him standing there and after having watched Luis Miguel: The Series, years later, I fully understand the implications of this TV commercial. If you haven't seen it on Netflix, I highly recommend it.
This commercial was produced by Young & Rubicam and was very well made. They were so professional about it. We were there all day till we finally got the shots right. Great times! I met Luis Miguel years after at Viña del Mar, Chile and when I ran into him I said, 'Do you remember me? From the Sabritas television commercial' and he just turned around and nodded.
... and you can say you heard it from the horse's mouth because Luis Miguel is playing a crucial role in writing and producing all seasons. He is Executive Producer and nothing goes by him without his personal approval.
It is as close to reality as possible, including the whole record scene where they decided to keep the same names of the record companies with which they worked with.
I met Luis Miguel on several occasions (Mexico), (Chile) and he is a really cool guy. He is a shy person who, believe it or not, who prefers his privacy. He would rather keep a low profile but his popularity is such, that it's practically impossible. To do that.
It's amazing to be able to see aspects of Luis Miguel's life that none of us were aware of. This series is very well produced, both Seasons 1 and 2.
The first season gives you a good understanding of of how Luis Miguel was brought up. The actor who portrays Luis Miguel's father is Oscar Jaenada who does a magnificent job at impersonating that overpowering personality and how he dominated and controlled Luis Miguel's career and life till the moment Luis Miguel decided to go on his own.
You get to see how he grew up and how his family life was at home and the influence that his father had over him. Plus you get to experience a more personal view of his upbringing and an explosive secret regarding his mother!
The second season takes us to more recent years and certain 'behind the scene' aspects of his life and career which will bring the viewer to a more up close and personal experience, as well. The second season seems to slow down a bit, compared to Season 1 but it's interesting nonetheless with the participation of other actors. Camila Sodi plays Luis Miguel's girlfriend during the 90's who is Erika Ellice Sotres Starr is real-life.
It is also very interesting to see how Luis Miguel's career has been handled thus far. We get to see the different managers whom he worked with ever since he was a child, and a good look of what happened 'behind the scenes' during his touring dates. Also, how due to the mishandling of one of his concerts, he had partial loss in one if his ears and how this had an impact on him up until recent years.
I cannot finish writing this review without acknowledging Diego Boneta's outstanding performance of Luis Miguel. Everything from the smallest facial grimace to his movements on stage, and his voice! He does a great job at putting himself in the shoes of Luis Miguel and impersonating him. He spent time with him, analyzing to the very last detail and his vocal range is right on.
Luis Miguel: The Series is highly recommendable if you like Luis Miguel's music and are interested in learning more about his personal life. I give it two thumbs up.
A third and final season has been confirmed by Netflix where we will get to see if his daughter, Michelle will continue dating Luis Miguel's manager, which is where Season 2 left off.
