O Segredo da Família Greco

How did Fernando Colunga get involved in this mess ? Everything is third rate ; acting , direction , story line even make up was awful. Way too long , i hate myself for having watched the whole thing .

Based on a true story , but the story they came up with is just improbable. The previews and the polo

scenes were the best thing about this series . Even the music selection was mediocre.

Why try to get 9 episodes? The producers have tremendous chutzpah for coming up with such a long series based on such weak premises . A university drama club would have done something better than this ...shameful. Realmente da pena.

Very engaging, nice screenplay. Thrilling in parts. I normally wouldn't binge, but this one kept me going.

I read about the actual events that had happened after I watched the series. I think the filming is brilliant.

The characters especially the patriarch had so many layers to his personality. How he is confident on his getting his own family involved. It is mind boggling.

Well done by the director - The way some of the events happen, the happy ones and at the same time the cringy ones provides a view on brutality of a simple suburban family members. Not sure why is rated so low. Would recommend this one to my friends who enjoy thrillers.

I saw this last night and ( you know how it plays ) as you go thru everything? It didn't look that great but I didn't watch anymore and just started the first episode. I don't like many foreign offerings Netflix puts out( Not since Nobody's watching) but this is pretty darn good and the family are all weirdos in their own ways. I did crack up in parts ( at the things the father says) that were funny to me! I can read a bit of Spanish( so I knew it was a true story) but watched it dubbed. Sometimes the dubbing can ruin a good film etc and it wasn't the best but not bad enough to watch with subtitles because there are 9 pretty long episodes ( I thought it had said 6 at start) I fell asleep on around 7. I'm surprised I'm the first review( but you need t look up the original title). I think it's pretty darn good! Better than pretty much most the new series Netflix has released over the last few months. I want to read about the real story because at this point it shows the wife and daughters as being oblivious. I'm going to finish tonight and update if needed. I say watch if you like weird crime stuff.

I wanted to give it a try despite not "feeling it". Now I can't write a review about the story itself. I couldn't finish it. This is a very boring show with scenes so long I almost felt asleep. Also, it's vey sloppy in the execution with many situations that don't make any sense, and the characters are beyond unlikable, immoral and gross. It's supposed to be a true story, but it looks implausible. Such despicable people. I tried to like it, but I gave up after the first episode and a half. And I lost my time watching it. Sorry, but it's how I feel. I can't understand the positive reviews, but to each their own I guess.

This story has great potential. The fact that this is a true story and the character of Aquilles is played so brilliantly had the bones for a captivating series. My only critique is that this series moves along as a slow paced drama where each kidnapping takes 3 eposodes taking 9 episodes total. The whole series could have been summed up in 6. Get into the action of each kidnapping in episode 1 and sum up the carnage in episode 2.

The characters are held off at arms length through 3 long episodes with about 10 minutes of dark twisted action at the end of each episode. If they had concentrated on this malevolent Aquilles and allowed you into his dark twisted mind you might actually get to know this evil crime lord with more nuanced layers where you might actually feel some level of pity for this nasty crime lord. The series had alot of characters just kind of moving around talking. This series could have honed in on this tragic monster, allowing you into this evil control freak mind and summed up this series in 6 concentrated episodes, but this dark twisted tale holds you at arms length with 9 drawn out episodes and never really draws you into the action. It's as if you are watching it from a distance. The Aquilles character is brilliant, but the length of the series falls somewhat flat and never really draws you into the action. It has the potential to be an amazing dark noir tragedy, but comes across kind of just okay like a drawn out soap opera. It's worth the watch for the brilliant character of Aquilles alone, but just something to kind of put on in the background. It never really sucks you into the dark twisted mind of that which is the true tragedy of that which is Aquilles.
