Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Francisco Rebollo I grew up in Mexico. Studying the life and work of 'Sor Juana' was in the school curriculum. This is a worthy and beautiful portrayal of a genius writer. The producers, writers, etc have done a wonderful job of bringing back to life the beautiful secret that is Sor Juana's life. It is also refreshing to see that she is portrayed as a full human being and not just the 'feminist' caricature that we are often sold at discount rates. I loved everything about this series and will watch it again.

kermatio This story is about a person of whom I was not aware until watching it. After viewing, I read several articles on Juana Ines de la Cruz. The details of her life and her relations with those around her are somewhat obscure. Her life seems to still inspire speculation and fabrication of events that may not have happened. However, knowing something of the Roman Church and Spanish Inquisition, and having some understanding of classical learning in the Baroque era, I believe this to be an entirely credible construct of her life, providing some good possibilities for the motivations behind her actions. Now, if you are the type of moralistic Catholic who cannot believe that there are lesbians in convents, or that certain holy monastics have the same urges as others, don't bother watching this one. It is neither like The Song of Bernadette, nor like the splendid Spanish series on the life of Teresa of Avila. The production qualities are sometimes not the best, and I have never much cared for the use of two actresses to play the same character at different ages, but the sheer drama of the story redeems it. The intense psychological aspects of the characters, and the performances of these actors merit the highest praise. The subject matter is so compelling that you cannot stop watching it, and yet it doesn't lend itself to binge watching, because you will need time to absorb what you have just seen in a single episode.

Lupanar Review Juana Inés is a talented young woman with only one goal in life: to study and write. Of course, it's the XVII century and knowledge in women is considered dangerous. This premise carries us through the seven episodes of the mini-series, where we see Juana Inés use her wit to challenge the most powerful men in New Spain in order to defend her right to knowledge.The series really transports the viewer to a different era where women only had two choices: to get married or become a nun, which meant a lifetime of confinement. Also, it is the first time I've seen a portrayal of the caste system in colonial Mexico. As any good period piece, it's relevant to today as it puts gender, race and power struggles into perspective.In some instances, it is obvious that the production didn't have a lot of money. Sometimes the fabric of the clothing really stands out as cheap, but the story, the acting and the dialogues are so powerful, that you soon forget about those details and really get invested in the characters.Some have criticized the historical accuracy of the series, but I honestly don't think that is the scale on which to measure its worth. Very little facts are known about Juana Inés's life, the rest is speculation. This series is a proposal, an interpretation of what her life could have been like, and as such, is as valid as any other. However, I think the dialogue is interesting, because how we want to see her says more about ourselves than of her.I truly recommend this series to anyone looking for something meaningful to watch.

yelvaberry How sad that they used and abused such a good biopic and made the typical trash of lesbians, and corruption of the Church. You better get a good Biography, instead of wasting your time watching this fantasy. The guidelines for reviews here they say it's 10 lines. I really don't have much to say about this series. I have watched 4 episodes, and instead of getting better, it gets worse. It is sad they wasted so much talent, money and energy to advance the typical Hollywood immorality that they want to impose on every one as "normal". I have read Sor Juana Ines of the Cruz all my life. Biographies, and her poetry. As I said, it is a waste of time, and resources. They could have used the real, true story, and come up with something beautiful. Too bad.
