La locura

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.

Just started watching and it's a 6-8 possibly. Just wanted to get on here and direct attention to how weird these reviews are. Either 10s or 5 and below. It feels like people either love it or hate it with no in-between. Personally, I think it's solid so far, but not mind-blowing. Some aspects are really engaging, while others are a bit predictable or drag at times. The acting is decent, and the pacing is alright, though it could use more depth in some areas. Overall, I wouldn't rate it a perfect 10, but it definitely deserves more nuance than what I've been seeing in these reviews. It's a watchable show with potential that might get better as it goes. Hopefully, as it progresses, it finds a better balance.

I'm sure glad I ignored the bad reviews and watched this show anyway. I found it very entertaining, relevant, and interesting. A few well placed twists and hearty laughs, too. I simply did not see the issues anyone mentioned in the negative reviews. The pacing, acting, etc are all fine, good even. I liked the balance between the interpersonal dynamics and the big mystery. It takes its time but the slow moments were worth doing. Sure there are things that are unrealistic at times but not any more than is typical for this genre. It's not perfect but it was a good watch and it never pretends to be something it isn't.

It certainly leans into the politics of a political thriller but I found that made it more compelling, not less. If you like this sort of thing, give it a chance.

Started with plenty of promise but the story was unnecessarily dragged out with far too many episodes!! Half of the episodes would have sufficed imo.

The main character pmo. He's supposed to be highly regarded and intelligent but kept making one bad choice after another which (I think) helped undermine his credibility.

I appreciated the concept of the show - exposing corruption and showing how ordinary people can be caught in the crossfire of systemic greed and political schemes. And also highlighting the dangers of unchecked corporate influence!! But the execution was a little disappointing.

After watching 4 episodes, the first thought I had was- that could easily have been done in 2! And therein likes the problem. It's not the acting, the actors or the plot. It's just that somebody decided to drag this across 8 episodes.

This means that the plot is needlessly stretched, the story meanders and sometimes you feel like just fast forwarding 10 mins so that they get to the point.

As far the people rating this 3 stars, it's really not that bad. Netflix really needs to start undertaking understanding that people won't get dragged by shows that are stretched just to keep one on the platform. And that's all this is- an effort to keep you on 8 hours!
