The musical biography of the Mexican singer, also known as Chente, is brought alive in this upcoming Netflix TV series. Following the real-life story of the music legend who went by various nicknames and was also known as “The King of Ranchera” in Latin America, Netflix brings us the journey of the Mexican musical and cultural maestro.
Starting out as a young boy who didn’t need a special occasion to make up the mood by belting out a tune, we follow him into his adulthood, singing at huge arenas and theatres. The series title itself has been inspired by his monumental song that goes by the same name.
The performing artist has several Grammy awards under his name, and now his story is about to unfold in front of our eyes.

I will watch it. I’m hoping that it will be worthy to watch the whole entire series. I watched El Ultimo Rey and the casting, I think was horrible.
I think that the actor who portrayed him as an older Vicente Fernandez was absolutely horrible!! He looked nothing like him at all.
I think the best choice would had been his son Alejandro, he’s a great singer like his father
and there it no denying he is his father’s son!!!!
I watched the first episode. Cringe! The guy playing him can’t sing to save his life. Why didn’t they do a voice over so we can hear his beautiful voice through out the series. Such a HUGE disappointment.
I agree with the above comments the serie was horrible.
Great show but haters gonna hate. Always intrigued by how bitter and narrow minded people are. The series doesn’t cover every single event and it’s not meant to be a documentary. Others have done that. It’s a dramatization, with a good entertaining flow for a few friends to kick back and watch. Singing is fine for the show. You can si g along and practice your Spanish too;). If you get all tweaked up on hearing Vincent, just go listen to the recordings, many of which are also in the film. Party on friends.
I loved it! Thought it was great.
Me encanto llore demasiado la recomiendo a todos
