Mentiras

Mentiras as Lies and Deceit is remake of British Series Liar. Original British Series might be good as it has got good ratings but Mentiras is just a trash. Watched Mentiras as original was not available on ant OTT streaming channel but I regret my decision. You can avoid this as there are far better shows than this on Netflix and other OTT channels.

It is rare that I just cannot finish a series- that too one that only has six episodes. This is the most dull, slow, uneventful and ridiculously contrived show I have watched EVER. I was reeled in by the "preview" on netflix which promised a psychological thriller after a mysterious night.

Spoiler alert (not): there is never any thrill to come. Just a bunch of monotonous conversations, no challenge that the protagonist has to overcome to get her story heard and the sister/ex husband affair is thrown in just for some excitement. But that is stupid too as its obviously added in due to lack of anything else going on.

I liked the series in general, but I did not love it. The positives are the good acting and the photography on an island, the beach brighten up the atmosphere a bit. Despite the unrealism the series is quite entertaining.

The negatives: The feminism throughout the series is enormous! It starts in a very unrealistic way, the police investigating so actively from the beginning? That doesn't work like that, but it's a series and in this case pure fiction. Quite quickly the series begins to decline when introducing the story about the sister, which tarnishes the main theme, and above all it has nothing to do with it, it is only to fill minutes. The last two chapters are totally incredible and ridiculous, but also exciting. In the end you almost hate the victim, Laura, more than the rapist, a gun? Please! You've fallen under!!

A pity that the main topic has not been treated with more respect and truthfulness.

... Spanish thriller drama series consisting of a remake of the British series Liar... called Lies & Deceit on Netflix... IMDb median rating is '7'... and that's about right... well cast & produced, there are some inconsistencies yet overall the show is entertaining... endings for these types of series can be iffy propositions & this one is not altogether satisfying... but majority of viewers agree it is worth-watching.

The first 2 episodes are pretty good, they'll have you wondering who is telling the truth; and then for whatever reason they reveal everything in the third episode and it just goes downhill from there because we already know the truth.

It becomes super repetitive and boring at this point, I had to fast forward through some long drawn-out sections. The main character was very annoying, the doctor was super ridiculous and creepy and they wouldn't explain the reasonings behind his acts. A few characters were brought into the show with no follow-up.

The only relatively interesting storyline involved the sister, but that doesn't really go anywhere, and I found her character annoying as well. I usually like Spanish thrillers but this bombed.
