In silenzio

Knowing how entertaining and full of plot twists spanish movies and tv-series, usually, are, and with a cast that is quite relevant at this point, especially on younger generations, I started this series with a lot of expectations, but I gotta admit that the trailer was actually better than the series itself.

The first episode is good, but in retrospect only because it makes you question a few things that you wish you're going to enjoy during the other episodes, but that never happened, and not because the plot isn't good enough, but because it's narrated in the wrong way and with the wrong timing.

A lot of the reviews seem to be quite negative, but tbh I didn't think it was that bad.

Yes, some aspects may seem unrealistic and yes some decisions were questionable, but I think Aron Piper's acting was good enough to get you through it.

Through the series I think the plot and the twists we were presented with were pretty good at keeping you guessing as to what was happening. Though it wasn't revolutionary or anything, I enjoyed it . The ending was something I actually didn't mind which may be controversial. This whole review may be controversial by the looks of it.

Overall though it was decent and I'd say you should give it a go if you're into the genre.

Just like with another Netflix series "Safe", "Muted" has a promising beginning, keeps your attention throughout all 6 episodes (though not everything makes sense) - suspense is high, acting is great, so you naturally expect some really clever culmination...just to get disappointed in the end. So many question remain unanswered. If his Mother was a saint, why the observation room? What about the experimental medicine? What was it about the older guy who the policeman was meeting in secret places? They really messed up Noa character-nothing makes sense about her. What about his aunt and grandparents? Why were they brought into the play? I can continue with 10 more whys.. Still, the series are so different from the modern day Hollywood productions, so I don't regret watching it.

Why would anybody with the kind of power shown in the first episode spend that kind of money to track just one person that stayed in prison for such a short time for such a horrible crime?

That crucial question was not explained by anyone, thus rendering the entire show a moot point.

The people watching "Sergio" are MORE disturbed than Sergio, whose reason for the crime was explained in less than one sentence and did not make sense.

The show reason for being has not been explained adequately yet, the movie expects to raise the tension of the show with diversion that also have no reason for being because they have no relation to what the producers think is the central theme (that gas not been explained.

The show is what is called "a self eating watermelon."

I REALLY wanted to like this! I began watching with no expectations, or preconceived notions; other than I usually love foreign, suspense, thrillers and the topic seemed riveting. The first episode was EXCITING and unexpected. But now (and I am 3.5 episodes in) and I am dying a SLOW death of a thousand turtles! I'm not sure if it's the translation, the captions, or what, but even the dialogue is BORINGGGGGG! Perhaps I need to watch it in Spanish. (Maybe THAT will give a different vibe to the show). But, like I stated, I really wanted to like this, but I cannot recommend this, UNLESS you are looking for something to help you sleep. If so, just start at the second episode, and you will have NO problem.
