Just before it premiered in 2013 I remember that there was a lot of criticism about the show. It disappointed many that the first time a US tv show would have an all-Latina lead cast would be a show about maids. Devious ones at that. The death of Lupe Ontiveros in 2012 seemed prescient to the debate. In her obituary in the NYT. Is speaking ...
