“Land of Women” is a perfect, tailored showcase of Longoria doing what she does best… in a gorgeous Spanish setting to sweeten the deal.
—a watchable, if imbalanced limited series about a family of women escaping to Spanish wine country to flee a crime boss.and unfolding in a mix of Spanish and English,has been specifically engineered to suit Longoria’s zippy comedic skill set. She plays Gala Scott, a wealthy New York wine-shop owner living a dream life of privilege and luxury—until two thugs come knocking on her door, demanding the $15 million that her husband owes their boss.
It's a homecoming that, improbably enough, sits somewhere between a cheesy Hallmark Christmas movie and a quirkymelodrama. With her high-strung attitude, Gala slots right into the Hallmark mold of a prissy big-city-gal who needs to find her true self in a small town, complete with an enemies-to-lovers flirtation with hunky vineyard manager Amat . But the show also embraces a more wistful, whimsical tone as Julia reconnects to a homeland she hasn’t revisited in over four decades.
If Longoria is the steady, polished hand keeping the show afloat, Maura is its vibrant beating heart. As in her signature collaborations with Almodóvar , Maura brings a comedic playfulness without losing a sense of emotional truth. She and Longoria are well-matched by newcomer Bazua, who blends impulsivity and maturity into a believable portrait of teenage girlhood.
Indeed, the six-episode series, premiering June 26, is best when it’s zeroing in on its leading ladies and the way they’re changed,style, by their time in La Muga.
