Leopard Skin

Wow!!!! This is totally different than Jett (which Cinemax couldn't sell right but is on HBO Max) with some of the same actors like a parallel universe Jett. Carla Gugino is of course senselesly beautiful (when isn't she?) tOTally fierce in this story that has comedy, music, sex, violence and like something more esoteric? Amelia Eve (with Carla in Bly Manor) and Ana De La Reguera are the funny parts and the criminal gang is the scary part. And they do that well. I won't spoil how slick Negan is in this but also be prepared for the most intriguing relationship between two women on television. Fire! All the women are standouts. Gaite Jensen (Tatiana from Peaky Blinders) is heartbreaking!!! Peacock is really showing stepping up their game making something this fresh.

How this series has a lower score than Jett is beyond me. This show is wildly unpredictable and exciting. My mind works like an automatic puzzle solving machine when I watch a show/film and usually predict the end very quickly, but with this show...? Ha. Not on your life.

I have found myself thinking back to this incredible show numerous times since watching and I am left wishing that there would be a sequel as I rather resent that the ride is over. I just want to see what happens to a few, certain characters as they really ended up being quite endearing.

I hope that Carla and Sebastion make more shows like this as they do it sooooo well. They understand love.

Some oth4r reviewers have pointed out this show's main appeal is the love story at its center and the psychological games between two of the characters and how unhinged and finally satisfying that is. It messes with your expectations but is handled so well by the writer and the two actors at the center (to not give away spoilers). Also the setting is like a dream with all the ocean waves always coming in and out and the repeating images of the 3 different characters gliding in the pool as the ownership of the villa evolves. I was surprised how fast the episodes feel even when the tangents they take you on are unexpected. Favorite characters: Alba, Batty and Maru. This gets funnier and weirder as it goes along. I would binge season 2 easily.

Fausto Malon (Gentry White), Sierra Loba (Nora Arnezeder), and Clover Braun (Margot Bingham) are on the run after a diamond heist. They seek a temporary hideout at a seaside estate. They take Alba Fontana (Carla Gugino) and Batista 'Batty' Ferreira (Gaite Jansen) hostage. The women's relationship is secretive and they are hosting a dinner for director Max Hammond (Philip Winchester) and his trophy girlfriend Maru (Amelia Eve).

This starts as a crime drama spiced with a bit of tropical Spanish flavor. It's a little quirky, a lot of sexy, and a bit mysterious. Then it turns into an S&M drama. It's not the usual cartoon leather-bound costume play. It's more emotional and powerful. It's eight episodes. Each episode is only thirty minutes. It's a little odd to have a drama shorten to that length. A few things are a bit off-kilter in this show. All in all, this is a fascinating short binge. The story doesn't seem to have much room to go for a second season unless Jeffrey Dean Morgan leads the Walking Dead gang to look for the diamonds. I'm assuming that this is a limited series.

The story is about a gang who performs a jewelry heist, and while trying to get away, they hide in a beach house,where they are holding captive/hostages the 2 women living there.

The way the events take place in this series, is really unexpectable, but not because of the plot twists. The unexpectable part refers to the characters' interactions.

I didn't know what to expect from this show but for me it was surprisingly pleasant.

In order to recommend it though, the questions here are: Is it enjoyable to watch? Yes!

Is it amazingly good? Well, no!

So, is it worthy to watch?

In my opinion, it depends on what you are looking for.

If you want a short, fun, interesting and kinda weird tv show to watch then you will probably like it.

If you are looking for a realistic and profound show, then just skip it. It does not target this kind of audience.

Generally 6/10.
