Batang Quiapo

Coco Martin is not a good director some of the action scenes feel bland and soulless. Started Killing off characters for no reason especially tanggol's partner's. Dynamic with his mom is meh and some scenes I don't even feel like tanggol has a mo, so overhyped in the Philippines. A Total disgrace compared to Fernando Poe's Version.

All the characters are crap, the actors and actress are brilliant in their jobs but the characters they portray are all crap from the main characters which are Tangol-stupid selfish and trouble maker, Marites-too stupid to be a mother(seriously, if you're husband forbid you to visit your own son, you obey him?, too stupid to let her husband treat her mother like a garbage, and the mistress, she could do a lot of things to that women to go away, but she didn't), and there are some side characters such as Uno-the same as Tango selfish and hopeless romantic, he doesn't care if he put his friends in trouble just to get what he wants. The most important thing is the story line, IT IS TOO SLOW, I think they set the story as day per day basis, and the the story almost contained the typical stories from old tv series and movies, like they make the most epic scene into a just a dream, there's always a mistress, there are nothing else new.

This series is very disturbing, yet many people, including kids, are watching it because their idols are in it. It's not suitable for those who are easily scared and may trigger anxiety while watching. The plot is chaotic, and some of the characters doesn't give justice as well. It shows pure evil and doesn't do justice to the old FPJ movie. Fans of the original will be disappointed by how messy this adaptation is. Though it attracts viewers due to its cast, it lacks respect for the original work and fails to deliver a meaningful experience. The disturbing scenes might haunt sensitive viewers after watching.

Show is too slow moving...........There's more conversation than actual action. Cardo doesn't make good decisions. It's frustrating to watch a main character make foolish decisions. It's a turn off for me. I watch once in a while. In fact the sow is full of foolish decision-makers. I'd like to see better decision-making. You can make a good show will good decision makers. It's also a good example for the younger generation. Why does Bubbles have to dress like a prostitute? It's good for filipino actors/acresses to return to respecting self, especially the women. Start role modeling, modesty.....

If you aren't tuned in to mainstream Filipino television, you're not missing much. There are just so many things to say about this show but I'll try to keep it short.

It is HIGHLY uncompelling. There is no tension and smart plot points. The writers, no matter how many put their brains together, have to rely on twists. The dialogue is laughable. The characters are literally just cardboard cutouts; no depth. It's like Ang Probinsyano, but skipping to the part where it became a rotten pot of brain rot. No essence, it's ridiculous, and a sad excuse for Fernando Poe Jr's legacy. God bless that man.
