Somos.

Leaves you shocked, when you realise that this is in fact not fiction.. but a depiction of a horrendous event.

I was very surprised by this mini series.

It show life in a small town with the cartel infiltrated in life in pockets. Most of the episodes move at a slow burn with small character deveoplment across many of the demographic of this small town.

I have to say the ending (last episode) was shocking and really moved me. The fact that this is based on true events that happened in the town of Allenede is even more worrying.

I think when you watch a narco show the gangsters and their life is often glamorised for the screen but here especially the last episode you see the real horror and senseless violence these people inflict to innocent people.

Normally, I get really tough on bad movies or shoes and I get giddy over a good movie. Mainly, its over insignificant and subjective reactions while I'm constantly checking on my phone.

Since this was in spoken Spanish I had to read the subtitles and got sucked in right away. It's not Narcos which is more action and gripping action. This series taps into your soul and tests your faith in humanity.

At first I chuckled at the amateurish acting but once I got a sense what was coming I was appreciating the actors and direction much more.

I knew nothing about the Allende story and was blown away at what happened. I read the article that detailed the events and just shook my head.

10 stars for shedding light on this. Well done!

This show captured what almost every small town in Mexico goes thru. Mercedes Hernanadez plays Dona Chiyo and should win every award made for TV.

This series was very good,although some acting was quite poor,especially the Americans, you will forget it all due to the ending which is one of the most horrific I've ever seen...truly saddening but a must see.
