Comedy that goes behind the scenes of a telenovela and its star, whose off-camera life rivals the drama of her onscreen story lines.

TheWrap
Mark Peikert
Still, this is Longoria's show all the way and she's never been better. Her physical comedy is on point; her timing is impeccable; and even when Ana Sofia is supposed to look bedraggled, Longoria remains radiant.
Observer
Anne Easton
If nothing else, it will make you laugh at the nonsense of it all, and that's a good thing. A very good thing.
New York Times
Neil Genzlinger
Take a genre that's easily mocked and mock it - not much art in that. At least, not as it's done here.
Deadline Hollywood Daily
Dominic Patten
Telenovela is a welcome reflection of America 2015 as well as an on-the-money satire and love letter to a beloved TV genre watched by millions daily.
TIME Magazine
Daniel D'Addario
Although Telenovela takes its name from an exuberantly dramatic genre of soap opera, its plots are mundane.
Tampa Bay Times
Robbyn Mitchell
Telenovela manages to mine a few culturally specific tropes for some genuinely universal laughs.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Molly Eichel
Telenovela may not have depth, but watching Longoria mug for the camera ain't a bad way to spend half an hour.
The Hollywood Reporter
Tim Goodman
While Telenovela employs a lot of Latin actors, it doesn't give them enough good lines to make the latest entry in the Too Much Television universe worth your time.
Common Sense Media
Joyce Slaton
A comedy that strains for fizzy yet comes off as frantic, like so many other network comedies this show wastes great actors -- in particular the divine Eva Longoria -- on bad writing.
We Got This Covered
Mitchel Broussard
Silly and eccentric but not quite graceful enough to be considered irreverent, producer/star Eva Longoria's eager commitment to the premise still allows Telenovela to crackle with great jokes and solid physical comedy.
Newsday
Verne Gay
Fun, light, colorful and original.
Yahoo! TV
Ken Tucker
Longoria and most of the cast are charming; if you're looking for well-performed, lightweight entertainment, here it is.
USA Today
Robert Bianco
It would be worth the effort, because there's clearly potential in this pleasant but not-yet-impressive showbiz comedy - as you should expect from a series starring Eva Longoria, at her best here as soap diva Ana Sofia Calderon.
Washington Post
Bethonie Butler
Telenovela is legitimately laugh-out-loud funny.
Uncle Barky
Ed Bark
The show also wears well, with Longoria vigorously in the forefront and a solid supporting cast led by scene-stealers Diana Maria Riva and Alex Meneses.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Lloyd
Telenovela, starring Eva Longoria as a Miami-based soap star, is a happy one: appealing, sweet, witty, traditional in its bones, modern in its complexion.
AV Club
Lisa Weidenfeld
Watching everyone on Telenovela emote every last plot point directly at the camera starts to wear after a while. The effect is rather like being bludgeoned with their sheer desire to be liked.
San Francisco Chronicle
David Wiegand
Telenovela is an Americanized version of a telenovela, and that may be why it doesn't reach its full potential.
Boston Globe
Matthew Gilbert
Writers Chrissy Pietrosh and Jessica Goldstein, from "Cougar Town" and "My Name Is Earl," find a way to create an ensemble of characters around Longoria who are broad caricatures and yet recognizably human.
Variety
Brian Lowry
The episodes previewed have a breezy, unpretentious quality, and Longoria offers a reminder that she's a pretty gifted comedienne, as evidenced by some of the show's physical bits.
