Recommendations 📺. I’m halfway through this drama and really enjoying it so far. It’s set in 1700’s Spain during the reign of Philip V. It is in Spanish, but the British English dubs aren’t bad. I could see some feeling it’s slow, but I personally love slow dramas.
The Cook of Castamar: Created by Tatiana Rodríguez. With Michelle Jenner, Roberto Enríquez, Hugo Silva, Maxi Iglesias. Set in early-18th-century Madrid, the plot follows the love story between an agoraphobic cook and a widowed nobleman.
Most of the characters are typical archetypes (villain, clueless do-gooder, envious maid, etc.). However, the series was quite engaging though also very predictable and drawn to an obvious conclusion. The biggest hurdle for me was the casting which was way off, and the main reason I gave the series 6 stars.
