"La Rosa de Guadalupe" is a mexican program created by Carlos Eduardo Mercado Orduña, and produced by Miguel Angel Herros for Televisa, in this program, each episode is about different characters, who are involved in a tragedy or problem, that (almost) always at the end is solved with a white rose, of the Virgin Mary, because this program is religious.
Although the show in overall is popular, having over 1000 episodes, it has generated a lot of controversy, for the following reasons
Por qué No Es Un Milagro (Why It's Not A Miracle)
- Let's start with the obvious, the performances are awful, they either exaggerate the emotions too much, or they look like they are half-asleep while acting, although there are exceptions, like when Ricardo Mendoza acted, in general, the acting is laughable, and quite cringeworthy.
- Televisa does not accept criticism, in the least, when some YouTuber, as the notable case, MissaSinfonia, talks about this series, Televisa tries to remove all videos, simply because they do not accept criticism, even if they are in the law of "Fair Use".
- It has a terrible incosistency, as for example, in an episode called "El Ultimo Golpe" (The Last Blow), the boy protagonist of the episode, kills another, and they take him to a juvenile reformatory, and when it seems that all is lost... it was simply all a dream, so, if the Virgin Mary can make people go back in time, why doesn't she do it with all the people, why can't the girls who have been rap3d in the program simply find out that it was all a dream?
- It has a huge filler, to reach the length of an hour, such as adding subplots that serve nothing to the main conflict, a very infamous example of the filler, is in those scenes where it starts to play a suspense music, and the characters stare at their faces as if they could not formulate a word, the music became so infamous, it's even a meme.
- They did an episode about "El Momo", which is a stupid creepypasta, and they also did one about TikTok, and another one in reference to a polemic that happened with a YouTuber called "Rix", and all this, just to gain relevance, because all these episodes are poorly done, and have the same problems as the average episodes of this show.
- Not to mention that they made a sequel to the "Momo" episode, several years after "El Momo" was no longer relevant.
- And of course, "MonsterBall GO," that infamous episode about Pokemon GO.
- They invent problems just to have a plot, like when in the episode "Estallido de Amor" (Burst of Love), they say that the batteries of the pirate cell phones can explode, but this is a lie, because the batteries of the pirate cell phones are usually less powerful, and therefore, have less possibilities of exploding.
- Despite all the money Televisa has, which is a lot, it always has the same actors in every episode, instead of hiring new ones.
- They once wanted to make an episode about a real case, where girls were rap3d in a camp, just to gain relevance and money, luckily, the episode was never aired and it's Lost Media, but despite that, it shows that the writers of this thing, don't care about the feelings of others, as long as they can make money
- This thing has been over-exploited in an outrageous way, having over 1000 episodes, despite the fact that, this show has a horrible reception.
- "Cosplay Salvemos al Mundo" (Cosplay Save the World) offended the anime community and with good reason, you only have to watch 20 seconds of the episode to realize that it's not good at all.
- Its popularity has led to the birth of a "spin-off" in another country, called "La Rosa de Guadalupe Peru", which is basically the same garbage as this one, but Peruvian, instead of Mexican.
- The episode "Soy Emo" (I am Emo), as expected, angered the Emo community with its stupid plot and performances.
- Several times they recycle and reuse already made plots, as it happened with "Estallido del Corazon" (Heart Burst) and "Estallido de Amor" (Burst of Love), where in both of them someone loses his hand.
- The episode "Nomofobia, Adicción al Celular" (Nomophobia, Cell Phone Addiction), is stupid, because the girl of the episode has an unrealistic obsession with her cell phone, especially for the part where the girl throws herself out the window to get her cell phone (which generated a meme too).
- Several times the endings can be stupid, because either everyone changes out of nowhere, or the problem is solved out of nowhere, or they just time travel, literally.
- The white rose never does anything, the characters solve their problems without the need for that rose, it's just there for someone to come along and say "¿Y Esta Rosa?" ("And this rose?")
Cualidades Redentoras (Redeeming Qualities)
- Many episodes can be unintentionally funny, making the series tolerable to watch, with such bad acting and stupid scripts.
- Occasionally, very occasionally, there is a good actor or the actors perform well.
- Some episodes can actually get tense, heart-breaking and heart-warming, sad and scary.
Reception
With a 2.7 rating on IMDb, this show has been ridiculed and criticized too much, so much so, that it is known more for the reviews than for the show itself, it is considered one of the worst shows in Mexico, and is mocked by the whole country.
Trivia
- This series has an English dubbing, but no complete episode has been found in this dubbing, so it is Lost Media.
