Last but not least: telenovela fans in the driver's seat
Actually, the show is great. But some of the actors really get on your nerves. And then there are scenes that no one wants to see. That’s not the case with the telenovela «Pedro & Maria.» There, fans get to have a say in how the show unfolds.
"Pedro & Maria" is the first multicultural and interactive series specifically designed and developed for the digital age. The format planned by MTV and the multimedia studio Electus is a youthful Latino romance - a kind of modern Romeo and Juliet. The only difference is that the two main characters don't have to die if the viewers don't want them to. Via digital platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and other social networks, they have the opportunity to influence the development of the characters and the plot by voting. A nice idea. But whether the viewers' input will make the telenovela worth watching remains to be seen.
