On Thursday, May 3rd, Telemundo premiered a new web-telenovela called
MIA MUNDO. As with most of the network’s online forays, the production looks to be high on corporate marketing (the series is sponsored by Chevy and Verizon), and low on drama. The series is mostly in English, but awkwardly transitions into Spanish every few lines, a kind of reversal of the Spanglish that the network has been experimenting with in their telenovelas where characters’ Spanish dialogue is peppered with English phrases.
