Tríada

This is an interesting thriller, stronger at the beginning episodes than at the end. Maite Perroni is fantastic in the lead role, but I wish they gave her something more stable to work with.

The series is a bit disjointed, I don't know how else to describe it. It's like some major scenes were left in editing on the cutting room floor, especially in the last episode. We jump from one situation to another without an explanation in between.

Even the credits claim there was nudity, but I don't recall any. If there was, it wasn't much. Maybe that was edited out too.

And this was filmed in Mexico? Most of the vehicles seem to have Mexican plates. But until halfway through I thought it was filmed in Spain. Everyone looks European, and are dressed in sweaters and jackets for colder weather. A couple scenes show heavily forested hills that just look out of place in most of Mexico. All these things together feel a little odd. But maybe that's what they were going for.

Potentially good story, but only average execution. First episode e starts strong but then the story slows down. The plot still develops in the next 5 episodes, but just to slow. It is further slowed down by pointless erotic and other scenes that last way too long and contribute nothing to the story or the plot. Acting is average and at times just over the top. Some scenes are confusing as it is not exactly clear where or when the happen? Memory? Dream? Connection?

Camerawork and photography are decent but not special in any way.

The theme as such has so much more potential than is displayed in this series. Watchable, but be prepared to fast forward pointless time-killing scenes.

The writers of this series were probably smoking something when they wrote this . Take a little bit of Orphan Black - mix it with paranormal or mystical activities ... throw in azi experiments for the fun of it and pepper with random sex scenes along the way to keep it steamy enough and of course to justify whatever that police officer is doing in this series. And DO NOT be fooled - this has absolutely zero basis in anything remotely real other than Triplets reuniting (not even).

A complete and utter waste of time - deserves a 3 or 4 stars but I gave a star extra for the acting of the lead. Give it a miss and save yourself some precious time.

Full of holes-often goes A to D without B and C. Especially at the end. Action moves on with no explanation of how situations are resolved. Things are suddenly and miraculously resolved and we just are supposed to move on as well. I don't want to give away plot so I'm being vague. But we are often taken to a tense "standoff" of a situation and then suddenly the characters are just somewhere else. Or they are free. Or in some other way we have just moved past the situation with no explanation. Even the ending does nothing the explain how we got from the bad guy (bad woman) holding a gun to her being locked away.

So reading the synopsis, it kind of made me think that this series might be modelled on the male triplets in the states that were born in 1961, separated through an adoption agency and not until a chance meeting at a college, two of the three were eventually reunited, leading to joining the third male.

So Becca a forensics expert whilst attending a crime scene comes across her identical self, the storyline is far more complex than I anticipated, but it made it in some parts very entertaining.

The individual characters played by Maite Perroni were well performed and really gave you an excellent perception of each role has they went through each episode.

However, although the story is complex and has it moves on you get to understand how the lives of Becca, Tamara and Aleida came to be how they are, the scriptwriters must have felt that viewers may find this all a little dull, so throw in a sex scene or two along the way.

Humberto, Becca's colleague, the stud, as you find out later in the series, has the moral compass and stature of a borderline perverse male model, talk about taking advantage, again later in the series all is revealed.

5/10 good storyline overall, not easy to watch at times.
