I’m 35 and I can’t believe the 90s are now considered a period piece. LET THAT SINK IN.

After watching the show. He’s now one of my favorite actors

Had never seen these two “brothers” actors before, but their acting was excellent. Congratulations on being great!

There is a true talent right here! His performance was amazing! Captivating, he could manage to make me love/hate his character while watching switching from one to the other in seconds.

[sonjabowman]

I absolutely was amazed at the superb acting in this series! I thought Nicholas Chavez was awesome and flawless! He certainly deserves a reward for his performance. The actor who played Erik was also good. I hope Nicholas gets all that he deserves after his hard work. I did not expect 9 episodes.

[Roxanne_]

The whole freaking cast was nothing short of amazing!

[courtnicxsammyspn]

He is an amazing actor and I can’t wait to see what else he does!!!

With this job, Nicholas has shown that at 25 years old he is an extraordinary actor. If he continues like this, he will soon be a legend.

The fact that he started on general hospital. I can’t wait for Nicholas to get more roles after this . He is so outstanding as an actor. ) he is going to go so far ❤

[laurenmontera]

Yet another case of "started out on General Hospital" and became a serious star.

[AA-qbni]

Lets not blame the actors for the storyline cos they didn't write it. They two actors were amazing and I hope they do more in Hollywood.

[sandrajackson]

Bawling my eyes out watching this. He brought so much depth life and experience into this song. What a chap! Thanks for this frank ♥️

Bardem is smth else in this show... This show is worth watching for Javier Bardem's role alone!! It's brilliant and scary as hell! Just as the commenter below wrote, Bardem was more scary in this than in The Old Country for Old Men! The scene with the male prostitute, when he is playing the Roman Emperor in a fetish sex role-play, was scary and disgusting; the first family argument, when Kitty pulls Lyle's wig off, and Jose suddenly, in a fit of rage, smashes the plate against the wall, gave me almost a heart attack, and is hard to get through. I personally loved the show, and I think the case is subtly, and fairly analyzed.
