La locura

Boy I wanted to like this. Have liked other things Colman has done, but this is a waste of time. Some really questionable and predictable script choices and, sorry to say, not great acting across the board. And poor Colman is just miscast here. He's not this kinda lead. Reminded me of when Tyler Perry tried to play Alex Cross. Just not believable. As the series dragged on, and scene after scene of two people inexplicably whispering to each other plot points (why not SHOW us?) it was really hard to stay awake.

Watching Colman run was painful. Always funny to me when non-athletic actors get the opportunity to play action-heavy roles. (He wasn't great with the action on Fear the Walking Dead, and he's not here either). It always takes me out and smells like a vanity project. His mouth hangs open every scene when he's "thinking" (a tell that he's not comfortable and preoccupied with playing "straight" in my opinion). Not everyone gets to be an action star.

On to the next. Skip this one.

This show started pretty good and it was very interesting, but somewhere in the middle of it, I got lost.

The characters were good, the acting could have been better, but I think that everything could have been sorted out in like five or six episodes. It became boring.

Too much dragging and unnecessary scenes and moments. I got to the end, somehow.

Also, some scenes were to cringe and not believable at all. Very mediocre. It felt like I was watching some type of telenovela.

All in all, I do recommend this because it was not that bad, it was okay with a dose of boredom.

Was sorry for that guy Franco, you'll see.

Nice interesting thriller show. I'm quite impatient with series, if they don't catcg my attention in the first minutes, I give up, however, I ended up binge-watching this one in one night. The storyline is basically the reality of what's happening in that part world today, the racism, gun crime etc. I would say the main problem with this show is it dragged for too long If it was made as a movie or with 4 eps max, it would have been perfect. But at the middle it started dragging and I felt there were many unnecessary and unrelated scenes we could have done without. But overall, it's worth the watch.

When I started watching this, I was quite impressed. The first episode was really intriguing and exciting. I love crime-dramas, so I was looking forward to binging this series.

The acting is excellent, throughout and hats off to the cast for making this at all watchable. They do brilliantly with a very poor script. I just found the dialogue really cringy and some of the decisions made by the main characters were just not believable. The storyline overall is interesting but a bit of a mess to be honest. I think it has some good elements in it, reflecting the issues there are with racism, right-wing groups etc but I felt that it was trying to sit on the fence about where the blame lies.

That said, I felt empathy for the family throughout and that is all down to the acting. I hope to see the cast in something more worthy of them in the future.

There are many elements to this series that are well done. But I just felt it was awkward. There were so many things about the script, the direction and the acting that felt awkward. Embarrassingly so at times.

Some of the dialogue seemed so incomplete and so unpolished that I was left shaking my head. It rendered the relationships in the story incomplete and lacking depth. I feel I should have had warm feelings for many characters, but didn't.

I understand techniques to make the audience uneasy, but this is different. If it was deliberate, it failed in the execution. If this is a new style of film making, I hope it passes.
