El Fin del Amor is an Argentine drama television series created by Tamara Tenenbaum and Erika Halvorsen, based on the 2019 best seller essay El fin del amor, querer y coger by Tenenbaum. The series stars Lali Espósito, who also acted as executive producer. The plot follows the life of Tenenbaum, an Orthodox Jewish woman, as she leaves her traditional life behind to live new experiences that contrast sharply with her previous ideals of bonding and religion.
It was ordered by the streaming service Prime Video as a straight-to-series order of 10 episodes, for which production began in August 2021, and it premiered on 4 November 2022. In October 2023, it was announced that El Fin del Amor had been renewed for a second season.[1]
Tamara Tenenbaum (Lali Espósito) is a young woman born and raised in an Orthodox Jewish community who, after a sudden revelation about her education and culture, leaves her boyfriend to rebel against the concept of traditional romance just as she does with her religious life. The reason behind her abrupt change of direction is that she yearns for discovering and living new ways with different ideals or, actually, without them.[2]
During its opening weekend, El Fin del Amor was the tenth most watched series and the most watched Spanish-language show around the world on Prime Video.[3] It was also the most watched series in Afghanistan, Argentina, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Spain, Guatemala, Israel, Jordan, Mexico, Paraguay, Uruguay and Venezuela, reaching the top ten in 26 countries.[4]
El Fin del Amor was met with a very positive response from critics. Paula Vázquez Prieto of La Nación rated its first season four out of five stars and wrote: "Erika Halvorsen's and Tamara Tenenbaum's adaptation explores a generational view that is genuine and which might stick to some clichés but it does it from a place of honest humor without false cynicisms or imposed overcomings."[5] Similarly, in his review for Clarín, Juan Tomás Erbiti expressed that "El Fin del Amor shows that it is possible to bet for sharp generational stories to which the audience can relate, far from superficial clichés or solemn arguments".[6]
