Nuevo sabor a cereza

It's always nice when something new comes along. They need to take more chances like this. It's not anything extraordinarily crazy but it is a new take on older things. The acting is done well and the characters keep you interested in wanting to know what is going to happen to them. It's a darker tone with just a little bit of humor thrown in very rare which is nice because it doesn't have a confusing tone. It's only trying to be one thing and that's what it is. I myself was not familiar with any of the actors aside Catherine Keener Who plays her character very well in this. Even not being familiar with the other actors they all seem to be pretty organic and believable. It's definitely not for everyone it has more of a horror tone than anything. But it's not the typical hacker slasher that most stuff seems to be these days. It also has elements of a psychological thriller. If you're looking for something new and different give it a try, I would recommend it.

I love 90s David Lynch movies. This is very in his vein. I thought it was great.

This was a bizarre ride of a show, I enjoyed the slow burn and weird vibes throughout but the ending really let it down. I feel there was zero closure or wrap up, almost like they forgot to release the last episode.

Others may disagree with my assessment, there's a lot of love for this series and some may say there was enough of a wrap up with open ends for the imagination but it felt like a lazy finish with nothing particularly resolved. It's a shame there's no season two because it's a perfect cliff hanger of an ending but for a limited season it's let down.

Acting was great all round, cinematography was on point. The protagonist wasn't overly relatable and was very cold at times but that didn't detract from the enjoyment, very much Aubrey Plaza vibes.

*Pros* The main actress (Rosa, playing Lisa) is amazing! It was a very demanding role, which she nailed & completely sold the story. Boro, Lou and Alvin (the funny producer man), were also brill. -- The premise is solid, and time is taken towards enabling us to really resonate with the main character. -- I like the cinematography; and filming locations. -- The hair, makeup & fashion departments deserve a shout out.

I really enjoyed it & it's addictive. And would recommend if you like this genre. Especially if you like AHS.

*Cons* In episodes 1-5, the character's behaviours and motivations made sense & were moderately realistic. And that's what made it so engaging. However, from ep. 6 onwards, characters would behave in ways that are unusual / illogical / counterintuitive. (However, I appreciate that sometimes this is necessary to push the story forward.) -- A lot of plot holes and unanswered questions. -- I think they could have benefited from making the main character more compassionate in some situations involving innocent parties. -- I would have slightly toned down the gruesomeness; it started to get predictable that if we see something gross... someone is going to eat it.

There are "David Lynch vibes". Lost highway, maybe Mulholland drive. In my opinion, it's got nothing to do with Cronenberg.

90's /early 00's aesthetic. Weirdness, witchcraft, multi-layered characters. Catherine Keener is magnificent. If you are into bizarre mystery movies with horror elements and a few funny scenes, you will like this.

Nevertheless, there are downsides. The ending is not bad, but it's not very good/cathartic either, it feels like a mid season finale.

You also don't feel much tension, you don't feel 100% the horror and the agony of the characters , it's a little bit superficial and shallow. Maybe this was exactly the creators' choice, lighten up a bit. If so, it's not a bad choice, but i would prefer it darker.

To sum up, it keeps your attention right to the very end and it's entertaining. I am glad i watched it and i would like to see a second season.
