Outstanding, May 3 2004
This review is from: Resurrection Blvd.: Comp First Season (DVD)
This series is the most OUTSTANDING and INSPIRATIONAL series I have ever seen. I have followed this series from it's beginning to it's last season, and anxiously awaited a new season. I recommend this series for all generations, Abuelitos, Tias/Tios, Primos/Primas, Hijos/Hijas, Nietos y Amigos (Grandparents, Aunts/Uncles, Cousins, Sons/Daughters, Grandchildren and Friends )as it truly represents and depics the importance of family loyalty, support and love of life we all share. Although the focus is directed toward Latinos, anyone who has a dream or who has set goals for themselves will be able to relate to this family. I can't wait for the remaining seasons to become available so I can buy them too. I plan to pass them on from generation to generation. I would love to see it come back!!!!

This review is from: Resurrection Blvd.: Comp First Season (DVD)
This is without a doubt, the single best series I have ever seen. Everyone I know that has seen this series has absolutely loved it! My family was EXTREMELY disappointed to find out this show was cancled. The acting and the characters were incredible. This show will keep you thinking and craving more.

Take a chance on the program, April 5 2004
This review is from: Resurrection Blvd.: Comp First Season (DVD)
I think this program is worth seeing. I bought it on a whim, never having seen it before. I just know that Showtime puts out some great drama series, like "Queer as Folk" and "Soul Food", so I knew Resurrection Blvd. would be good too. And it was. I like the authenticity of the show. The characters are compelling and you develop a relationship with them as you watch the series. The program is in English, and although some Spanish is spoken, it is always translated in the conversation of the actors, or easy to understand from the context of the specific scene. The writers demonstrate the importance of family in Mexican householdsm as well as the machismo. I really feel for Yolanda, who works all day in a stressful job as a paralegal, only to come home and cook for 5 men, "none of whom can even boil water" as Aunt Bibi says! It's unfortunate that the writers only includes Caucasian characters to antagonize the Mexican family. Aside from that, its a wonderful show.
