Perdida: Vermisst

A great effort. Cunning ingenious crafted script, fast paced. though it relies on make-believe contrived stuff to kick the plot ahead. Exciting from beginning to end.

I hoped the show is good, but the plot amazed me of how the facts and events surpassed my expectations and twisted the story, but here I should stop mentioning more, as it will be a slight spoil. Just expected the unexpected from the kidnapped kid's life and his surrounding.

The acting is just as needed to be, the characters are of multiple kinds, which makes it colorful, the scenes are well filmed. I can't think of anything that should give this show less than 10 stars as for its kind, there isn't a single weak point.

Antonio Santos is a Spanish man who is arrested in Bogota carrying drugs through the airport... he isn't an ordinary drug mule though; he intended to be caught. His five year old adopted daughter, Soledad, was kidnapped thirteen years previously and he has been led to believe that a man who knows something about it is in jail in Bogota. When his ex-wife learns where he is she too flies to Bogota and, with the help of a lawyer starts looking into Soledad's adoption. We also see that Soledad is alive and well living with an actress and her drug lord husband; an incident leads to her questioning her past.

I found this to be an entertaining series; its premise may be a little far-fetched but it works to provide plenty of exciting and dangerous situations; in particular for Antonio in the tinder box environment of the jail. There is a good amount of action in every episode. The characters are fun in a slightly exaggerated way. The cast is solid making the characters believable. The locations are good, especially the jail... I have no idea what real Colombian jails are like but if they are anything like the one depicted here they are scary and dangerous places! Overall I'd recommend this to fans of tense dramas who don't mind melodramatic elements.

These comments are based on watching the series in Spanish with English subtitles.

I am an avid follower of Latin American and Spanish cinema, so this combination produced huge dividends. Although the series and films made, produced and directed by Latin Americans tend to carry that "soap opera" style, this series surprised me. Not because I don't have this "cliche", but because the actors make a good effort to get rid of that typical "cliche". The series has a dizzying pace that makes the viewer immerse themselves in the story, plus the soundtrack is very good. Daniel Grao's performances as "Antonio Santos", Pedro Suarez as "Prison Guard Molinos" and Antonio Mora as "Enrique" are far above average. In short, a very good series that touches on a very sensitive subject, but that is still an example of things that happen in real life. For me, one of the best Spanish series on Netflix and if you want to classify it as "Latin American", due to the use of Latino actors, it is in the top 3 after Narcos and Distrito Salvaje.

Could have been better if the faith of the daughter was unknown. Messy series with some unbelievable events and superficial characters. But at the end easy to watch with Some nice settings.
