Qui a tué Sara?

A fast-paced show where most characters are deplorable and hide heinous secrets.

Even with all the unnecessary, b-grade sleaze thrown in, the show manages to keep you hooked. But just when you think you are nearer to the big revelation, the director moves the goalposts, leaving you with a tantalizing feeling.

The show has its fair share of plot-holes and absurdities, too. Would you ever expect a person to turn into a computer genius - capable of designing cloning apps, hacking into CCTV camers - after they have spent 18 years in a Mexican prison? No? This show makes it all possible.

A discernible viewer will likely switch over after one or two episodes. A large majority like me, will go on for the sake of cheap thrills.

Lots of sex for the sake of it and not really for any part of the story with many a naked buttock thrown in. The story is a bit all over the shop with really bad baddies, some terrible acting (especially the Radolpho character), a dopey "goodie", a gay couple (of course), a curious teenager and an evil mother. It's rubbish but can fill a few hours.

Interesting 'whodunnit' with the now typical flashback formula. Some decent twists and turns, albeit too "soapy" for the most part.

However, the main issue is just not knowing when to stop, and getting more absurd with each turn, trying to extend the longevity of the show. It would have been far more satisfying with an actual ending, instead of what we got.

Some nice acting for the most part, but it just got too silly and far fetched for its own good, especially throughout s2 and even more so in the ending setting up s3.

The first two seasons are actually pretty interesting, but are unfortunately detracted from by the dumpster fire of the final season. Characters never develop and storylines rewrite past events with no regard to continuity. Set aside mind before watching. Decent acting.

I think some other reviewers who were quick to call this series awful are unfamiliar with the undying influence of the telenovela on dramas from Latin America. This show isn't going to win any Golden Globes because it's not meant to be Peak TV. It's meant to be entertaining, juicy TV! I enjoyed it quite a bit because once you accept it for what it is, you can navigate the twists and turns of the mystery without overanalyzing. I've definitely seen worse and had lots of fun while watching!
