Holy Family

This show is one of the few shows I've seen in Spanish and I must say it is very good. I didn't know what to expect but the cast is amazing. Every character is absolutely believable and all in all just great actors! I love how twisted this show is and that you constantly get surprised. I felt the pain of the characters and the desperation in particular scenes. The love scenes were perfectly paced.. very tasteful and touching. Also since I'm a 90a kid - I love the whole vibe!! I usually get bored easily with Netflix shows but this one I binge watched the first season in one day!! Couldn't stop!

This mini series hooks you from the start and makes you discover the many facets of motherhood. It is not only a story of a family drama but it also touches on how women see their roles within society, are these roles imposed or self-chosen ?

Najwa Nimri is fabulous in her role and the plot, even if at times is predictable, keeps you hooked. Alba Flores does not disappoint either even if her accent was a bit weird. The OST was also well chosen. I don't get the negative reviews as the story telling has been used in other series (flashbacks to explain how things are interwoven). It is definitely a bing able series made by Netflix.

Okay, so the acting was superb. The makeup looks bc it's based in the 90s. Hence the hair, makeup, & wardrobe reflect that. Loved that their was some diversity in the cast from LGBT charters to having more people of color than usual for Spanish film work. The twins romance lives are very spicy, and they are traumatized/manipulated by their disturbed mother. Definitely a thriller that's not in chronological order, so you have to pay attention. Elite is similar in terms of its timeline. A couple of the characters are a bit dull, but in contrast to the majority of the characters having interesting backstories, it works. The suspense makes it binge worthy, and the spicy scenes will make you hot & bothered.

Having made mistakes in the past, there is no way to fix them, all you need is a gun, a knife, or an irresistible desire to forget everything. The film shows plot interweaving in the style of Pedro Almodovar. The film is about the fact that the mistakes of family life can be corrected only by criminal talent. It is impossible to keep the past in the present today's life. He just needs to be killed. Which is what several families do, whose lives are tightly connected by a criminal past and family secrets. In the film, the characters are not divided into good and bad. Depending on the situation, everyone acts only as it is beneficial to him at the moment. Son and daughter can kill mother. Mother can kill everyone. And nothing can be fixed. You can only kill the past in the literal and figurative sense. Cold-blooded and merciless, for the sake of his family, profit and future. This is today's reality.

By the number of votes here on imdb and how little time is any the show spent on the top 10 from Netflix, is say this is a quite underrated show.

I enjoyed this extravagant over the top series. It's labeled as a drama but I would also add mystery on the tags.

For the people who want to watch the show because many actors are also from money heist, a warning, it's nothing like money heist.

It's a very different show with great characters that you don't know how if they're good or bad until the end. Loved the lighting, the colors, the music, the atmosphere. Nice acting and entertaining story. Dark, mysterious and at times funny. It has its flaws, it's not a masterpiece, but if you're looking for entertainment give it a go.
