I was pleasantly surprised. Good cast good chemistry, good storyline, hoping for another season.

SpicyCake26 September 2020Oh how I wish they didn't cancel this series. I enjoyed it so much, the characters the story lines. So much fun. I hope another network will pick this up!

homdeb105814 April 2020Kind of cute. Kind of funny. Kind of poignant Kind of real in some ways. (Yeah, I know what it's like to stay with someone you're not sure of against your better judgement.) Not sure how long it'll be good for, but I liked the first one. Way better than something like that creepy, awful Long Shot and those ridiculous "reality" shows. Likeable actors. Good family interactions. 7 of 10 for me.

jbrumfield-9491415 April 2021I watched this series on the ABC network and completely fell in love with it. I was so disappointed that ABC cancelled the show without a Season 2. It is now streaming on Netflix and I am enjoying watching it over and over again. It is a wonderful love story of a mega star and a baker combined with a beautiful family relationship and a little bit of comedy. It felt so good to finally see a series with virtually no violence, no profanity and tastefully done romance. All of the actors are wonderful and the chemistry they have with one another is quickly noticeable. I am hoping that the series does so well that Netflix will provide a Season 2.

divyacutie5 May 2020I've watched the original Israeli version and enjoyed it alot. I liked how they took time for each of the character's story to unfold. Whereas the US version seems a tad bit rushed, especially the sister's character. I am not giving up on this just yet as I do see potential. Only time will tell.

HelloBlockbuster19 April 2021This show is super cliche, but good feeling. It elicited emotions akin to those from watching Hart of Dixie, but with a Latinx cast reminiscent of Jane the Virgin. This really should've been renewed!!! Not all shows have to be super suspenseful or deep, sometimes we just need scratch the surface feel good shows and this scratched that itch. The characters are all likable, however Mari (the mom) is my favorite! Fun fact: Lisa Vidal can now be found on Gray's Anatomy. She's an awesome actress and needs more spot light!

telavivid13 June 2020This is a remake of the Israeli series "Lehiyot Ita" which I binged on several years ago. The present version is pleasant. The story is fun, the actors are nice, the soundtrack is wonderful. Very fitting for a weekend afternoon watch. What I'm unfortunately missing is the intensity and hilariousness of the original characters. The performances here seem to be more subtle, less dramatic and somewhat more ordinary. But they are likable regardless. So, the show's nice, but I think watching "Lehiyot Ita" with subtitles is several times better.

First shame on you ABC for cancelling this great show. This show had every element that you would want from a rom-com show. Great characters, good storyline. So it's disappointing, but the way they finished season 1 I will be okay if this show failed to find a new home.
-
vedus-woolley-119 April 2020Ok. But the original Israeli version, which can be seen on Amazon Prime,vis much better.

monicajoy-924072 June 2020...During a pandemic. It's sweet, positive and quite clever. Shows are so trashy and filled with manipulative twists and over the top story lines. This is just an OG, sweet rom com. And who doesn't need that in your life? Covid or not?
Praying there is a Season 2! 🙏 -
garzamom23 April 2020Was prepared to settle into a nice, homey comedy. That ended in episode two when they loaded everybody's baggage into the story line.
Hope this was a one-shot deal. With everything else going on, his truck won't start! Give me a break.
A nice guy with two high-maintenance screw heads. -
nicolegittman24 April 2021I watched the first episode and that was enough for me. I do NOT like how Vanessa is portrayed as a psychopath. She was so in love with someone who didn't want to take the next step so they made her character stupid and naive for proposing to him. I applaud Vanessa for having the confidence in herself and her relationship to be willing to propose in public to the man.
Daniel dragged her along for four years and didn't even care about her as she walks out of the restaurant upset. I'm all for people leaving when they're in unhappy relationships and standing up for themselves when they realize they don't love someone, but this was not done in a tasteful way.
Let's not pretend that if this was any man in the real world, we all would have scorned him running off with another woman (celebrity or not), not even an hour into breaking his girlfriends heart. The names we would call him and the things we'd all say. What an awful thing to do after breaking someone's heart.
There are also a lot of moments in the pilot where they reference Vanessa as crazy. It's fine if they want this to be about a crazy ex and Daniel was running for his life, but this was done in a very insensitive and degrading way.
The cast seemed great, but can Hollywood please hire better screen writers because between this and a lot of Netflix originals, they suck lately. -
Alabouteve18 July 2020Finally a show that represents the LatinX community as a strong family with great values. How fantastic to watch two parents raising three strong children. The show really resonated with me. It gave me such hope and optimism. A feel good show with great relationships. What a journey.

coxpnw14 April 2020I just saw the advertisement for this show the day before it premiered. It is a really fun, cute and comedic show. I think my 15 year old daughter can actually watch it with me. Minus the threesome comment episode one. No language that I caught so far which is great! You can make a great show without all the crap in it. Actors are good hoping this is a keeper series!
-
The main actors are on a par with any high school thespian club. The reason I will watch the whole series is the secondary actors carry the show, Dan Bucatinsky, Michelle Veintimilla, Belissa Escobedo and Georgina Reilly are great. The writing is mediocre (there's asbestos in the bakery, but not in the apartment above the bakery...really?) I am glad there's only one season.
-
Well i turned this on after hearing such rave reviews i am am straight white guy who happens to be single but can enjoy a show like this if done right well i kept zonking out but what i saw was sugary sweet funny and dare i say original i will try to see the episode on full and watch the new one tomorow

I don't want this show to go away due to ABC cancelling. The Baker & the Beauty deserves to be bought by another station even Netflix if may be!
Daniel & Noa are gonna be married. In season 1, we hear Daniel's story now next season should be Noa's story next when they face her family problems. Noa's mom is mentally sick and her father's a tyrant.
There are so many stories the series can produce!- Noa attends Natalie's school as a substitute teacher or a guest speaker to help with her sister-in-law's social status.
- Natalie and Lewis connect due to their lives as LGBTs
- Matteo could go through a love triangle between Vanessa & Piper/another girl he encounters
- We haven't seen grandparents, cousins, nieces & nephews in the Garcia family yet. If a nephew of Rafael or Mari/cousin of the kids comes in, have him be a gamer and someone who's like Chachi Arcola. The nephew/cousin can interview the Garcias, Piper, Lewis, Vanessa & Noa about the lives between the normal and the famous and how their cultures blend together.
- Have the wedding ceremony come in near the end of the second season.
- Girls night out & boys night out episode!
- Introduce autism/asperger's syndrome in the mix of the show since LGBTs are introduced.
ABC has no right to cancel this show nor any other Latinx show EVER!!! If anything, new management, otherwise Netflix buy it!!!! -
catcipriano9 May 2021This show is a nice light change from the problems that are in our world now. I enjoy this show. I like that people strive to be nice and pleasant in this film. Family and friends are important in this show.
It's just sad with all the talented Cubans living in the US, a Cuban wasn't used in this film. Also, the background music could improve with it actually being Cubano. -Gente de Zona, Charanga Habanera. Old music from Celia Cruz...etc.. just to name a few. -
powergamers21 January 2021It is a great show to show to binge on a friday night from like 7pm-3am. The show covers funny aspects needed in a show, comedy, drama and romance. I'm just sad there will never be a season 2. I think that the show is great and could be carried on for more seasons.

dlw-7987027 May 2020Wow! This show seemed like on the outside a very cookie cutter rom com tv show that was going to be similar to other shows. But this one was refreshing funny and great acting. I love all the characters and look forward to seeing them develop. The lines aren't cheesy and I love the Afro Cuban music played throughout the episodes. I had to Shazam quite a few they had me dancing in the living room. I got through half the season in one night. That's how good it was. It had me laughing and put me in a good mood. I love this show! I'm glad they didn't make the main female lead snobby and superficial, would have been hard to like. Keep up the good work!

chrissm3826 April 2021This is actually a funny show with a lot of heart and drama! I was pleasantly surprised when I got sucked in from the very first episode! I had seen that the show was on netflix but never wanted to watch it, and now I can say that the posters, trailers, and title definitely do not do this show justice.
This show is an American version of an Israeli show, but they should've thought about changing the title because that is exactly what turned me off (and probably so many others) from even giving this show a chance. The title and artwork make me think of a dumb cheesy hallmark movie, and that's not what this one is.
So sad it got canceled... Maybe it'll be a Brooklyn 99 or possible Kingdom situation and get revived.... -
ashleydf40829 April 2021I'm not entirely understanding how there are so many positive reviews for this show. I couldn't even finish the second episode. The acting: on par with bad soap operas. The writing: god awful. And is everyone ignoring this poor girl who dated this d bag for however many years and then gets dumped for a celebrity out of nowhere?! I would act a little crazy if that happened to me too! I just don't get the appeal to this show or why everyone is saying that it is "feel good". Look, I gave it a shot because Netflix keeps listing it in the top 10. But I just can't.

catdgrt29 July 2020This is truly the best show on TV!
It is refreshing, witty, sexy and heartwarming all at the same time. It's an excellent representation of a Latino family that we call all relate to. I truly hope we'll be able to see more of this ensemble cast who I believe the best cast ever!
It's got high marks on Rotten Tomatoes, The petition for renewal garnered over 155,000 signatures.
Why not a Season 2!!
