La locura

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.

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.

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.

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.

6 Episodes in but still so much of it is cringeworthy, the script is its own worst enemy. Unfortunately the writers have made the characters all seem like total morons where they make decisions that are simply not realistic, From the main characters who make decisions that no sane person would ever do to the police and FBI who all do things that would just never happen in real life as they would all get the sack to all the supporting roles, it really hurts the overall story. It is like watching one of those horror movies where the characters all decide to split up as they don't want to work together even though there is an axe wielding maniac somewhere. I like the premise of the story and the acting while not great is ok but the script is just awful. I am really struggling to finish this.
