Herederos is the story of a somewhat dysfunctional, very wealthy Spanish family. The matriarch Carmen Orozco is married to Rafael, one of Spain's greatest bullfighters, with whom she has two (adult) children. Carmen's sister Julia is having an affair with Rafael and is pregnant with his child.

With such a premise, of course all sorts of drama and plot twists are inevitable. The characters are interesting, as are many of the plot lines. But I found a lot of the episodes dragged a bit. The pacing is often much too slow, and no moments of levity break up all the melodrama.

Although it was at times a challenge to get through all 37 episodes, the ending made it worth my while, one of the best series finales I've ever seen.
