Diario de un Gigoló

What a terrible show! The overacting is too much! The lead character is as beautiful as he is a terrible actor... The lead actress is distracting with those huge implants and the cheap sex scenes are ridiculous... The supporting female character.. Julia.. Is as plain as can be... No emotion shown... Nothing saves this terrible show... Please skip it if you can.

Was hopeful that Adriana Barraza's performance would save the show... No... It doesn't... Her performance is again overacted and like a completely caricature.

Though the sets are appropriate to the story... The writing is terrible! Netflix needs to put quality first.

No pun intended - especially because there is only one prominent one. And no it is not the one the title suggests - because the Gigolo of the title does not have a diary. Though I reckon it would have been intreresting to see him have one. But the character is well fleshed out enough (no pun intended here either).

But this is about events unfolding and culminating into something - well we are not entirely sure into what. Or rather whom - because while the police is there in the first scene, the first episode may suggest a different victim than the actual one. Also no pun detected (I thought I switch it up here).

Considering the title of the show - there is not much ... well erotic stuff going on. There is enough to get those who do not like scenes like that at all to be not happy, but not enough (skin) for those looking forward to scenes like that.

This is a mystery at heart, that unfolds by going back in time and retelling the things that happen. From different perspectives - no Rashomon here though. Still entertaining enough to say the least. The ending is a bittersweet deal I reckon - but if you suspend your disbelief it does make sense ... yes your questions will be answered.

I can really watch anything and everything, from soap to thrillers and horror movies. This was supposed to be just one more tv show that it would be "ok" to watch. Story is good, interesting, you don't know who the killer is until the end (of course you can guess), the unfolding of events, a classic spanish tv show, but acting, so so so terrible!! According to the acting, one of the worst tv shows in recent times. I don't know is it worse leading actor or actress, maybe I would give her award for that if I have to decide, although the others are not much better either. I'm so disappointing because of that, a big waste of time in my life..

Years ago, this would have been a straight to tape piece of junk, the movie where you fast forward to the sexy parts. Even then it wouldn't have created a stir. Today, it is still tedious and stupid, an unbelievable plot, dimly lit and filmed in some anonymous city. I still recommend using the fast forward button, but be careful, the sexy stuff doesn't last long. It might be good for practicing your Spanish. The actors are all unknowns, most with the anonymous, dark-eyed good looks of a soap opera star. A kid from an orphanage escapes the cops through the efforts of a madam who supplies sex partners to lonely, rich women. Although the kid looked way too old to be stuck in the orphanage, he learned to sport a tux, grow one of those persistent four-day-old beards and become popular with the older ladies. You can easily fill out the details. One episode was far too much. If I missed something important in the rest of the episodes, I apologize. Just about anything would be a better use of your time.

Pretty essential (and a bare minimum) when your show is about a gigolo, that the intimate scenes are electric, sensual and erotic.

That they are not.

Even the chemistry between the lead characters is def not there. That's partly a directors fault cause lacking chemistry can still be bettered by quality directing and editing.

Well, and so there's everything else about this show that's just poor quality: script, dialogues, storyline, editing.

It's just another cheap miss by Netflix. The priority nowadays seems to be making shows on a budget, and not striving for quality anymore.

Cause this is not quality. Sorry, to the actors.
