Harina

This show was based on the most popular sketch ever in Mexico. The writers of the show did an impressive job creating a whole world out of these 3 minutes where we were first introduced to the "Teniente Prieto".

Harina never loses its steam and has it all: comedy, absurdity, action, suspense, and, for my surprise, drama. Usually, comedies like this one suffer from lacking a good storyline relying too much only on the jokes (believe me there are plenty of jokes in here) and losing sight of the character's emotions and arcs. Harina does a great job in both ways: character and plot, comedy and drama.

Highly recommend this show. Hands down one of the best things I've seen lately. A knockout!

Low expectations were what I had when the trailer first appeared. I wasn't even interested to watch it. I would roll my eyes at the premise itself, nothing look or sounded impressive to me. But damnnnnnnn! I wasn't expecting it to be sooo good.

It's a good Mexican police comedy series filled with genuine laughter, comical characters, and an above-the-par plot. You have comedy, action, good relationships, and emotion, which is the element that keeps the audience entertained aside from its narrative. With 8 episodes, Harina never stops with its steady pacing, putting the audience in an enjoyable ride from start until the end.

Lo and behold, you wouldn't expect how many twists they are in this. When you look back at it, it's amazing that all the twists don't come as a force, but rather it oozes naturally, making it a perfect fit to the whole story. Rounding up, Harina is definitely in my top 5 series of 2022. Waiting since now for a second season.

If there is one thing Harina taught me, it's to never judge a series by its trailer.

Great cast and great writing! Such a refreshing Mexican production. This series has comedy (lots of it), drama, action, a great plot with insane twists. The lower than usual budget (for such a popular show) is noticeable but If this show had the budget of american series, I really believe it has the potential to be one of the best series out there today. The fact that this is a spin off from a 2 minute sketch makes it even more impressive. The writers did an outstanding job, the plot is solid and the way they can add comedy in the right places without breaking the tension of the thriller genre is top notch. Can't wait for a 3rd season!

Nothing better than good acting, scenes and comedy mixed in one. The main character is refreshing and hilarious without going over the top. I really enjoyed this series and i hope more like it are introduced. I binged watched this i just could not stop myself. Well done!

Maybe I was not expecting much, but "Harina" surprised me since the first minutes of episode one. I was familiar with the original sketch which originated the whole show, but did not imagine that I would get something so funny, yet touching and sometimes even scary! The writing of the show is amazing and way better than most that are produced in Latin America. Cast, photography, direction are top notch! If you like good TV, you will love this show!
