Nadie nos va a extrañar

As an adult who lived his teenage years in the 90s in Mexico's metropolitan area, and currently is struggling with mental health, this beautiful piece touched so many sensitive fibers.

The show's atmosphere is immersive, it took me back to my highschool years. I don't doubt that people who didn't live it, will be taken there too.

It's easy to watch.

The cast is unbelievably perfect, they make you connect with the characters, care about them.

The story and everything is just so beautiful, lovely and emotive, it made write my very first IMDb review ever. And it became my favorite mexican TV show the moment I saw it.

Being basically the same age in 94 as the characters, most of it is pretty close to the times. Some storylines are a little too modern, but not far off. I identified to some of the kids experiences so it was pretty close to home, specially when 93, 94 and part of 95 weren't the best of my life.

Some things are unrealistic depending on the context of each ones experience. No all private a schools are the same nor are all from the super high life neighborhoods, so maybe this one applies to that case a more simplistic private school although with a little bit of not 100% realism. I too think as others it looks more to a public school.

Acting is too simple and overall so is the series. Some acting is off at times and quite good at other's. To me the worst was Laguardia, he has been acting for so long but he is just not a movie/big series level actor he was not believable at all, he's got to much telenovela acting in him.

Soundtrack even though not all is from the same year it is quite good. And as for a nostalgia bait, it has everything needed to check each mark.

The final episode it's not what I expected. After the events from the prior episode, it should have needed an additional episode or being arranged on the prior episode, that's actually a problem with today's 8 episodes shows, you have to rush or compress as much as possible.

It is not a classic, but still enjoyable.

This is without a doubt one of the worst tv shows I've seen in my entire life. The biggest flaw is the writing. Characters are not well defined, they are inconsistent, dialogues are unreal and everything is so mediocre. And the ending? Seriously? What an easy and cheap way to insert some drama, it just felt unreal, unnecessary and unjustified. The rest of this mess is easy to explain. When the script is so poor, it makes sense for the production, directing and acting to be just equally poor. Rich, fresa kids attending a school that looks like a public school and going places in Iztacalco? I'm sure producers could have done a better job looking for some believable locations.

Why are these shows even making the cut to be produced and featured on the main streaming platforms? Because we in Mexico are not used to high standards. We don't demand talent, quality or art in our productions. We are used to seeing telenovelas, so we'll just clap at any piece of trash they put in front of us. The only thing that stands out is the editing. Also, we who grew up in the 90's in Mexico can feel some nostalgia with music, videoclubs, Chocotorros, Cazares and Boings.

Overall: Don't waste your time.

The show overindulges in 90's nostalgia, which will be that main magnet for most watching this show. At that, the show does well and feels authentic. It captures Mexico City's mood in that time pretty decently.

Why 5? It's probably a 5.5. The writing is poor, the storyline makes little to no sense. Feels mostly shallow, and like a soap opera - which is its biggest flaw in my view. Don't expect anything deep, which is a shame as it started pretty good.

Acting is mostly good, I'll give them that. Always good too see new faces with talent. But what's worse is the ending. Won't spoil it but not worth it.

No work of art is made to please everyone. Art is beautiful precisely because of its plurality, allowing certain works to find their way into your heart. No One Will Miss Us is a series that captures the reality of a Latin American city in the 90s. It might not make much sense to you, but if you're Latin and grew up in the 90s, it will hit home with spectacular quality. And even if you're not, this show has the potential to become a favorite because the storyline is engaging, and the performances are far from bad. The performances are solid, and the storyline engages with a simple yet effective approach.
