Lady Voyeur

So let's separate the soft porn from the mystery story. First yes there is much sex in this series that Netflix keeps pushing the envelope with and many customers have been complaining. It's what made me switch from US dramas to Korean dramas since they can express sex scenes or love stories so much more romantically. I got this for a suggestion since it was foreign i presume. Here the FL watches her neighbor out her window, (who is a prostitute or high class call girl) having sex and also hacks into her security system to save all the videos. The FL meets the clients coincidently in the building snd ends up with the clients as well. Then there are sex parties reminiscent of 50 Shades of Grey.

As far as the mystery goes I found it confusing to keep track of all the different characters - this person is related to that person and that person is related to this person. Too much to sort out as there are time jumps forward and backward frequently. The only thing that saved this is that the last episode divulged everything and explained it in detail. But should you have to explain it?

Yes, you read the headline correctly. I actually watched the entire first season of "Lady Voyeur". I don´t know if there is going to be a second season. But if it comes my interest would be mild. Some of the sex scenes in this TV series were unnecessary in my opinion. The other sex scenes were okay or quite good. Some plot twists were a bit too complicated if you ask me. And other plot twists were suprising.

Miranda. How should I describe her? She´s beautiful and brave. I don´t know anything about hacking computers, so I can´t say if the hacking scenes are realistic. But it seems like Miranda knows enough about the subject. I also think that she was a bit gullible.

If there is going to be a second season I would wish for a better written plot, more courtship before the sex scenes and more clarity.

I stuck it out till ep 5 because it has a good story line and it did grab me for a while, but I dont think I could sit through the next 5 episodes because of the sex scenes and the plot getting thicker and thicker and dragging on. Who has that much sex in their life? Who has that much drama in their lives? No one. The men and women are like Ken and Barby and the sexy computer hacker just touches a key and everything is magically opened to her. There is no such thing as security in voyuerland. This is a soap opera like 'Days of our lives'. If you like soapies, watch it. If not, then avoid it like the plague.

It feels like a lot of reviewers know very little about the culture from whence this series came. Thankfully this is not a Hollywood creation. The series is not obliged to conform to the expectations of an American audience, nor is it reliant on the American audience to measure its success. This isn't the first foreign series to get review bombed and still be mega successful on the global level, as indicated elsewhere on the world wide web where people are already asking for a second season.

Let's clarify a couple things. There wasn't as much sex in the series as some of the reviewers would have you believe. They make it sound like it's every 5 minutes. It's not. There are plenty of other things going on.

To be fair, the "voyeur" instances were few. Some were repeated via flashbacks to add additional details that set up upcoming plot twists. Based on that I don't feel feel that the title fit the series overall, but it's a catchy title nonetheless.

Two stars off. One for Ingrid Klug being cast as Rita, and the second star off for the writing for Rita. I've said this in a lot of my reviews: voice inflection and body language are important. Her characterization as Rita was corny, cheesy, and immersion breaking, but that was, in part, because of really bad writing for the character. Since Rita doesn't have much relevance to the overall story to have such a big part in it. I fast forwarded through most of the scenes with her in them.

The beauty in this type of storytelling is that just when you think you've figured out the plot, and who did what, you find out that you haven't figured out anything at all. The story twists and turns with murder, danger, sex, romance, betrayal and intrigue. It keeps you engaged, which is the kind of storytelling that I have grown to love in telenovelas. This one was one of the most complex and detailed that I've ever watched.

If you're familiar with Latin American and Iberian style storytelling you'll enjoy this thoroughly. It's not perfect, but it's really good.

No pun intended of course. The international title being quite ... well sassy I suppose. The show itself being steamy to a point (with some nudity), but also full of cliches too. There's so much backstabbing and so many twists your head will surely not sit right after watching this (and no I did not call you Shirley).

That all being said, I've seen better but also worse thrillers. Don't expect this to be too titilating I suppose or too clever for that matter. Actually after episode 1 you can almost skip to the last episode - because you get a recap of almost everything important anyway - with an explanation ... if that helps ... still you have to dig the premise and all that ... otherwise you will be bored I assume.
