UPDATE: Netflix’s latest comedy, Just Alice, is making waves with its intriguing yet perplexing premise, as audiences dive into the chaotic life of a woman managing two marriages. This Colombian series, which debuted just hours ago, is already drawing attention for its unconventional storyline and the comedic turmoil it promises.
The show centers on Alicia, played by Verónica Orozco, who is racing against time to marry Pablo, a former priest portrayed by Sebastián Carvajal. The opening scene sees Alicia speeding through the streets of Bogotá to secure a wedding gown just before the bridal shop closes. However, the plot thickens as it becomes clear that Alicia is harboring a significant secret — she’s already married.
As Alicia navigates last-minute wedding preparations, she receives a call from a political candidate needing her advice. Desperate to keep her double life under wraps, she tells Pablo she has to leave for “work,” raising questions about her true commitments. The series promises a rollercoaster of emotions as Alicia strives to maintain both marriages without revealing her secret.
Critics have noted that the show resembles the Turkish romantic comedy Thank You, Next, but with a unique twist of bigamy. Alejo, played by Michel Brown, continues to reference his unnamed wife as his muse, creating a sense of mystery surrounding Alicia’s dual existence.
Viewers are left pondering how long Alicia can juggle her two lives without arousing suspicion. The comedic potential lies in the absurd situations she will find herself in, but early reviews suggest that maintaining this tension might lead to viewer frustration.
With 19 episodes planned for the season, the question remains: how will Alicia handle the inevitable collision of her two worlds? The stakes are high, and audiences are eager to see if the show’s humor can keep pace with its convoluted premise.
As the show continues to develop, only time will tell if Just Alice can deliver on its promise of laughter amidst chaos. For now, viewers are left with an intriguing mix of comedy and suspense that has sparked conversations across social media platforms.
For those looking to binge-watch something new, Just Alice is now streaming on Netflix. The series aims to engage audiences with its quirky narrative and relatable dilemmas, but early impressions suggest it may leave some viewers wanting more clarity and depth.
