Educando a Nina
Educando a Nina is the story of two identical twin sisters separated at birth, who lead opposite lives and are unaware of each other's existence. While Mara was born into a world of luxury, Nina is a dancer and chorus girl, waiting for the moment when life will give her an opportunity. When Mara gets arrested in Ibiza, Nina is offered the job of replacing her while she's away.

I admit that I really cannot be impartial and give this iconic show a truly fair score, since it's one of my comfort shows and one I enjoy returning to when I'm feeling down or in need of a pick-me-up... but I'm gonna try. So:
This show is definitely a hit or miss in some aspects. Very particular humor, which sometimes fails for daring to be too risky. Much of its comedy is Argentina in a nutshell, which makes it so that foreign people might not understand everything going on easily. I'm Portuguese, and there are things I haven't understood yet. But after all, that's normal, and - I reiterate - it's iconic to this day for a reason. Nearly every person from Argentina will remember (and maybe even imitate) the spoiled and troublesome Mara Brunetta, or the highly fun Susana Ximena from Córdoba.
Summing up, it's a product of its time, yes. But it's LOADS of fun. And, sometimes, that's more than enough.
