Stick to the screen all weekend: 3 fresh Mexican series for those who missed `Simplemente María`

And it's not just "soap operas."

In the '90s, everyone was captivated by vibrant Latin American series. "Simplemente María," "Los ricos también lloran," and "Secret of Sand" were on the lips of viewers of all ages. They weren't known for intricate plots, but they showcased a completely different, exotic, and inaccessible life to viewers.

But after a century of Brazilian soap operas, their era suddenly came to an end. And if you still miss such long-running stories, here are three fresh Mexican series that are made to be much cooler and of higher quality. At zoomboola.com, we believe that even those who have never been interested in such films will enjoy them. Gather your family by the screen and see for yourself.
