The House Of Flowers Season 1 Download [UPDATED]

The second season of The House of Flowers, a Mexican black comedy-drama television series about the privileged de la Mora family and their titular floristry shop, was released to Netflix in its entirety on October 18, 2019. The character Paulina de la Mora, played by Cecilia Surez, becomes the main character. The season picks up a year after the end of the first season, and starts with Paulina learning of a challenge to her now-deceased mother Virginia's will and moving back to Mexico from Madrid. Paulina becomes overwhelmed trying to helm her family with different adversities along the way, while being mainly driven by revenge and unhappiness. The season had four directors, with the majority of episodes directed by show creator Manolo Caro, and written by Caro, Mara Vargas, Gabriel Nuncio, Hipatia Argero Mendoza, and Alexandro Aldrete.

Filming began in Spain in February 2019, with the second and third seasons being produced together. Critical response to the season was not as good as the first season, but it still had various nominations at the Spanish Actors Union Awards and Platino Awards.

In August 2018, Castro announced that she would not reprise the role of Virginia for potential future seasons because she felt that her "character's journey is over."[2][3] Caro confirmed a week later that Castro would no longer appear in the show, which would focus on the de la Mora children if another season was produced.[2][4] Castro revealed in 2019 that, though the decision for her to leave was friendly and mutual between all parties, Caro and Netflix had originally asked to renew her contract for the second season to appear in only the first few episodes and then provide voice-overs; Castro would not agree to this, saying that she has always been all or nothing. As the writers had not developed a full storyline for her character, they all agreed there was not much left for her to do, a story confirmed by Caro.[5] However, in 2020, Castro said that she had been finalizing her appearances in the second season with Netflix but Caro changed his mind on what he wanted, resulting in her being removed from the show.[6] In August 2019, as the second season began releasing promotional materials, Castro confirmed that her likeness was used in the upcoming season, but that she hadn't been paid for the appearances because she had not done any additional work for it.[7] In the second season, without Castro as the lead, reviewers saw that fan favorite Paulina became the central character;[1] Rodrigo Munizaga speculated that Castro, without a continuing contract, was even less enthused to return after she had been "overshadowed"[transl. 1] by Surez in season one.[8] Going into the show's sophomore season, Vogue described Surez as "the new queen of the telenovela".[9][transl. 2]

Caro explained that the writing and production of the second season did not change very much, despite Castro's absence, because they "knew from the beginning that there was a possibility she would not return",[transl. 3] saying that they had already outlined the stories for the children independent of this.[10] During production, Caro said that the second season would be more "intense", and that exploring how the family works without the matriarch's presence is an important topic, with Surez adding that it would be crazier than the first season.[11] The use of music also became a more physical presence in the second season, with Caro explaining: "It was an evolution, in the first season and without realizing it, these playlists were created and really grabbed my attention regardless of what songs they had, they asked me what songs I listened to when I was writing, and it helped us to be creative in the writers' room."[12][transl. 4]

Paco Len's sister Mara Len was added to the cast for season 2, to play Purificacin Riquelme, the sister of Mara Jos. The casting was praised by Spanish media for using the real sister of Mara Jos's actor, suggesting that beyond looking alike, the siblings have very noticeable light-colored eyes and it would not have made sense to cast somebody else when Mara Len is also an accomplished actor.[14]

Casting for season 2 was announced as it began filming, first on February 5 with Spanish cast members Mara Len, Eduardo Rosa as Alejo, and Eduardo Casanova as Edu, and then with Mexican actors on February 18: Loreto Peralta as Rosita, Flavio Medina as Simn, Anabel Ferreira as Celeste, and Mariana Trevio as Jenny Quetzal.[10] Eduardo Rosa said of his casting that he submitted a video audition and was invited to Madrid to meet with Caro before he had read the script, but told Caro that he loved it anyway.[15] David Chaviras also returned as El Cacas in season 2. His character only had a small part and was not intended to return, but became popular among fans because of his charismatic interaction with Paulina; Cacas gained a larger role in the second season, as well as a meeting room named after him in Netflix's Mexico headquarters.[16]

Filming began in early February 2019, with production in Spain from February 5, and ended on July 9, 2019.[10] Some of the season was filmed on location in Madrid in February 2019; Carmen Maura visited the set to discuss the upcoming Netflix show, Someone Has To Die, that she was working on with Caro and Surez.[14] Caro said that during the development of the season, he had wanted to film in Spain, but wasn't sure he could make it happen, saying that he wanted to give back to the public there that supported the series;[10] Caro had promised fans that Paulina would walk down Madrid's Gran Va in season 2, and revealed to the Spanish press shortly before the season was released that this would definitely be included.[19] Filming in Mexico largely took place in a nineteenth-century house in Condesa,[9] and the second and third seasons were filmed at the same time.[20]

The second season premiered in its entirety on October 18, 2019.[21] In its first week of broadcast, the second season was watched by over 6.2 million accounts, from across the world; it became the top viewed show on Netflix that week in Argentina, Colombia, Spain, and Mexico, among other countries. It also broke the Netflix record in Mexico as the most-viewed second season of any show in its first week ever.[22]

The first marketing videos were released in August 2019[10] and used the "characteristic cadence" of Paulina's voice.[23][transl. 5] On August 8, a video of Paulina leaving a threatening voicemail for Diego, mimicking the one in Taken, was released.[10][24] On August 12, it was announced that the character of Virginia had died rather than simply been written out, in a marketing video showing a voice note left in the siblings' WhatsApp chat by Paulina along with the hashtag "#QDEPVirginiaDeLaMora" ("RIP Virginia de la Mora"), and on August 15, 2019, the release date of the season was included in a tweet that also showed the new family portrait. On October 2, another marketing video, also focused on Paulina speaking, was released. In it, Netflix asks the character to make an ASMR video recap, which she attempts. The first official trailer was released on September 23, showing scenes from the first episode in both Madrid and Mexico City, focusing on Paulina trying to regain the florists and find Diego.[10]

A press tour was held for season 2 a few weeks before it was released; Aislinn Derbez did not participate, despite being a main character, because the release date of the season was the same as her family's new reality show on competing streaming platform Amazon Prime Video.[25]

The new character Jenny Quetzal was described as "unnecessary"[transl. 6] by ngel Baln,[31] and Kike Esparza agreed that she "contributed nothing";[32][transl. 7] however, Baln thought that the final episode was one of the best season finales that he had seen in a long time.[31] Espinof's review said that it was "full of humor, a slight touch of social criticism and, of course, lots of little twists"[transl. 8] but, like the first season, it fell flat in some areas.[27] Cinemagavia's Diego Da Costa wrote that the plots lost originality and the scripts lost their humor, adding that the "new characters do not combine well with the universe" of the series.[26][transl. 9] Reviewer Alberto Carlos said that some of the plots are gratuitous, with the cult story-line being like "overstretched chewing gum".[27][transl. 10] Carlos concluded that Caro may have sacrificed good writing for the sake of eccentricity,[27] with Esparza similarly suggesting that humorous plots were used without having any substance.[32] Gisela Orozco of the Chicago Tribune thought that it seemed like Caro was improvising and coming up with new plots on the spur of the moment, that he was "adding 'water' to his flowers [but they] did not 'bloom' at all".[33][transl. 11]

Javier Zurro described the season's main vice as being that it seems to have "taken itself seriously",[transl. 12] which does not work with the format, and has turned back into the telenovelas that the first season was parodying.[34] He noted that the concepts of the season do not feel fresh, because it has copied all the formulas of the first; he did, however, believe that the first season was surprisingly good and so the second had the challenge "to be bigger, more spectacular".[34][transl. 13] Munizaga instead suggested that the main issue is that it does not include much of what made the first season so fresh, calling it "meek and decaffeinated"[transl. 14] in comparison.[8]

Zurro was also critical of the choice to kill off Virginia in the face of Vernica Castro's absence, seeing it as an easy way out.[34] Esparza thought that the season would have been better if it had retained Vernica Castro as Virginia, because the show's dynamic is not the same without Virginia and Paulina playing off each other;[32] Munizaga wrote that the season feels uncentered, and this is likely because without Castro's Virginia there is no reason to focus on the titular shop, making its inclusion forced.[8] However, Marieta Taibo for Cosmopolitan wrote that her departure is handled well and that Surez and Paulina become the center,[35] and CNET's Patricia Puentes said that "it is hard to miss"[transl. 15] the character and the actress, both because of Surez's performance and because Virginia is still referenced throughout the season.[36] 2351a5e196
