Eva Longoria became an international star with the series Desperate Housewives and it is impossible not to draw a parallel with her Apple TV Plus series: Land of Women. Unsurprisingly, the criticism was overwhelming, even though since it arrived on the platform, it has been among the most viewed.

The Apple platform has always bet on stars rather than location, clearly, the investment in Eva is part of pleasing the portion of Latino subscribers. You can’t expect anything deep or original from the series, it’s really made to entertain and entertain.

Land of Women is the adaptation of the book by Spanish journalist and presenter, Sandra Barneda, released 10 years ago, in 2014. The main character This novel explores the story of Gala Marlborough (Longoria), who, in the book inherits a house in Galicia and discovers family secrets while trying to reconnect with his roots. Leaving her busy New York life to spend time in Tierra de Chicas, a small village in Spain where her grandmother had a house, she wants to find inspiration for her writing. Yeah, like Under the Tuscan Sun.

As expected, Gala makes new friends and discovers family secrets that change her perception of her own life and her family’s past, being inspired by the stories of the women in the village, valuing the simplicity and beauty of everyday life, rediscovering her passion for writing and a new purpose for your life.

In the series, this whole proposal is somewhat ignored: Gala runs away to Spain because her husband cheats on her and leaves her with an account worth millions with dangerous criminals. A talented winemaker, she finds inspiration and alternatives helping the cooperative of women who produce wine in her mother’s hometown, in the interior of Spain.

You will hear from many people that Terra das Mulheres is “not good”, but it is like cheap wine, “not bad”. It has the potential to make you laugh, even with all the clichés. And to top it off, we have Carmen Maura in a great participation.

The small town of La Muga, near Girona, Spain, is the perfect setting for a story as gentle as Land of Women. There are two episodes left until the end of the first season and you know what? I will follow.
