Reception

Critical response
The debut season of The First of Us received positive responses from critics. According to Emanuel Respighi of Página 12, the telenovela "has a deep story, which escapes the comedy of manners, mature in its genesis, trigger and development, a fiction that invites viewers to enter a dimension of human existence with the strange paradox of celebrating life". In a review for Clarín, Graciela Guiñazú wrote: "is one of those dramas that make us lump in throat" with a solid cast and described the plot as "a story in which it is sensed that love, fears, humor, doubts and hope will sustain the inevitable outcome".
