What's the Story?
The fashionable and brightly dressed Vicky (Griselda Siciliani) is extremely ENVIOUS. After her boyfriend of 10 years refuses to propose to her, she breaks up with him thinking he'll never be ready for marriage. But when she finds out that he quickly gets engaged to another woman, the news sends Vicky into a spiral. What does she have that Vicky doesn't? After stalking her ex's new fiancée, breaking into his house, and getting arrested, Vicky feels like she can't catch a break. When she meets restaurant owner Matías (Esteban Lamothe), Vicky discovers what's been getting in her way and how she's been getting in her own way.
Is It Any Good?
This series takes viewers on a chaotic journey of character growth. Envious is a bit all over the place, but Griselda Siciliani has fun with the physical comedy and portraying Vicky's vulnerabilities. Some viewers might find the pacing off-putting and disjointed. The sexual themes, cursing, and drinking make this suitable for older teens.

Families can talk about TV shows that build their stories around romantic complications. How does Envious compare to other shows where the lead is trying to find a lasting relationship?
Vicky reacts and makes decisions that can be destructive (and sometimes illegal). How does her childhood influence her life in adulthood? Is it used to justify her actions at all?
