Memento Mori

The series is divided into 6 parts, the first chapter: Getting to know the characters, a little boring.... Second Third And Fourth Chapter: Good, it makes you want to continue seeing more.

Last two chapters: End of the series, things that are not clear and quite disappointing.

They could have made a great series, but they have ended up including many things that have no sense or anything to do together, important characters that are not clear what role they play or why they do it, all very focused on there being a second part.

The three main actors, Yon González, Francisco Ortiz and Olivia Baglivi, are good actors but it is still not clear what the role of Oliva Baglivi is, for example, or why there is a character that helps another...The best, Yon González, It's scary and it acts great, it's spectacular.

Even so, the work that everyone has done in general is incredible, the ending and some important things about the characters fail.

If you want to see it, watch it, but it will end up disappointing you and it will mess you up a lot.

Good series but very bad and disappointing ending.

Classic in Spanish productions that are not comedies: bad acting, poor scripts, extremely unrealistic depiction of police work and behavior, how university professors work, and so on.

The show pretends to be a formulaic thriller with the classic maverick detective against a mysterious serial killer (one of the few good points is to show the killer from the beginning).

The story is classic, but not really bad (in fact it is based on a novel) but the execution, in spite of the investment of resources, unusual for Spanish productions, is poor, because the terribly bad actors (the detective is the only that could be saved in this mess), the horrible script, poor action scenes and the plot holes.

Do not worth the time. Spanish producers should give up trying to emulate American noir or thriller productions, and, instead, to spent their effort in the comedy, the only genre in which they are proficient.

I have enjoyed the series, even it's is as predictable as engaging. The series is a mixture of different characters with the usual story aka serial killer script coming from famous movies. Looks like the director was inspired by movies like American Psycho, characters like Dr Loomies from Halloween or David Mills (Brad Pitt) from Seven. Everything is done in a Spaniard pretty acceptable way.

First, the series is not original but is quite entertaining from beginning till the end. So, overall the story is quite good. To add, looks like it is coming from a novel.

Second, if you have watched similar movies/series , the experience could have been far better with a more risky script. But to be honest, there is a twist I didn't see coming. Good for the writers.

Last, the scenarios, camera work, and acting are good. Also the Fx's too. The series looks serious, and not cheap as other Amazon productions.

So, overall an entertaining even predictable series if you have watched similar ones, but If you don't, the experience can be great. Enjoy.

This Spanish series, set in the city of Valladolid, is centred on Ramiro Sancho, a policeman hunting a potential serial killer. When the body of a woman is found with a poem inserted in her throat it is suspected that this is the work of somebody who will kill again. Sancho seeks the help of poetry expert Martina Corvo and 'Carapocha', a criminal psychologist who specialises in serial killers. Intertwined with scenes of the investigation we see the killer closing in on potential new victims and learn what set him on this path.

I thought this was a solid enough addition to the serial killer genre. The way it shows both police and the killer helps keep the tension high; especially when things take a disturbing turn. The cast does a solid job bringing their characters to life. At the time I'm writing this only the first season is available with English subtitles; this means viewers are left without any resolution till the next season becomes available... when it does I'll be watching. Overall I'd recommend this but might recommend holding off starting till more is available.

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