Los Valientes

I loved it . I think people are used to billion dollar cgi n Avengers stuff . The story led that suspense they did not give away too much . I say give its course . How many shows started n we kinda said eh but kept watching Zombies lol. I believe the team of writers and actors wil definately grow more . Develop more . I have seen shows that people praise and cant sit 15 minutes . I know there is alot the writers and producers and actors have not even hit yet . I have never seen any Shows or Movies that have tapped into African Mytholgy . I am a Santero that derives from the Yoruba so this made me even more excited . Great job !

This show had a great idea at its core, but it was completely wasted on bad writing, bad acting, and bad editing. I was expecting something like an African Ms. Marvel, but instead the hero only used her powers for a total of 3 seconds over almost 4 hours of episodes.

The choreography was cringe inducing. In one scene a small woman grabs a large guy by the shoulder and barely pushes him and he goes limp and falls down some stairs unconscious. In other scene a guy hits another guy in the shoulder with a crowbar and he falls limp and unconscious. There were many other ridiculous examples of people just falling unconscious at the slightest smack or touch.

The world of the dead looked like a cheap high school theater production with a paper mache stage.

Finally, the editing and story progression was so bad that at the end of the final episode of the season, it felt like the editor just quit his job and went home without finishing it. It feels very rushed, and not at all like the cliffhanger I guess it was supposed to be.

While it's true some of the transitions had to take place in my head (I know how to extrapolate) they actually caused me to be more invested in the story. I won't nitpick it to death over nonessentials I'll just say "where's season 2??". I'm going to be very angry with Netflix if this turns out to be another great series that they inexplicably drop in the middle. I thought Netflix had rethought their whimsical ADD attitude when deciding whether or not to continue series that everybody loves.

This series is another great cultural film that gives us glimpses into the life of people not us. I ♥♥

Nice action, nice storyboarding to me.. and it's refreshing, not the typical fantasy stories you're use to.. the actors are really good. & the visual power effects are dope.

The first episode actually caught me by surprised.. and although it may seem slow paced at times, it adds to the world building because you may have never heard of this pantheon of gods.. It's very cultural, it's nice to see an African fantasy tv show with good actors. Overall I loved it.

One thing I didn't like about it is that it only has 6 episodes, before you know it the show is over but it was very good to me.. I look forward to seeing a season 2.

Don't understand the harsh reviews. Most of them seem to be about not meeting people's expectations for special effects. Not every filmmaker has a billion dollar budget. Kind of reflects how entitled and shallow audiences have become, valuing special effects over an entertaining storyline. Some reviewers also complained about subpar acting, another criticism I failed to see. Series ended with potential for another season, which I hope they do. Not perfect, but if entertainment is your goal, don't let the more negative reviews keep you from giving it a try. You might find yourself getting reeled in.
