    Nothing about the first two episodes of this show worked for me. The jokes were tired, the casting and story felt forced, and it was a complete bore. I'm not sure how this show makes it long term, or why NBC is pushing it so hard.

    Trouble is, there’s not a single surprising twist on any of the threadbare inside-showbiz tropes, and even worse, every single zinger feels like it’s from a hastily assembled first draft.

    A lot of Telenovela's humor will stretch across any cultural divide.... But what distinguishes Telenovela from any other sitcom--its relentless lampooning of every convention of its own genre, from the pistolero mustaches of the villains to the ever-escalating décolletage wars of the heroines--may fall flat with an audience that's largely unfamiliar with real novelas.

    Telenovela seems content with idiocy and star power.
