After watching La Casa de Papel by Alex Piña, I was thrilled to find out that he previously did El Barco.
We started the series with much anticipation, the premise is about as good as it can be but after 5 episodes, reality step-in and I was starting to see what this whole series is about: a pseudo sci-fi meet colombian sunday drama gone bad.
The series had such a good premise and good start but soon after, it is clear that the writers had nothing going for it besides doing a bachelor party inside a ship with people that feels more like children than wannabe adults.
One of the worse things about this series is how they portrait the characters. They are all one-dimensional teens with emotional complexes. I am Argentinian and I know that Latin Americans are emotionals by nature but these guys/girls surpases even my wildest expectations. For no aparent reason, everyone is bound to yell at each other, scream and have sex like there is not reasoning behind it.
If this is what's left of humanity they should just sink the boat and be done with it. The level of stupidity is amazing. By the fifth chapter, the only real interesting character is Ulises. It's like he is surrounded by complete idiots that loves to insult him for no reason at all, even the captain.
To make matters worse, the screenwrite just love tits, there is no other way of saying it. The girls are lovely but they are too much PLAYBOY type to fit properly into their characters and they insist on showing up close up of their titties without much consideration. The make up make it much worse as they they all look like they came out of the styling room.
0 realism. This is not normal people, this are actors in a reality show. Bad escenography, bad sript, idiotic one-liners, unidimensional characters, playboy girls with excessive makeup, constant titties closups and dumb emotional reactions does not make for a good series. This is a crappy sunday telenovel disguised as interesting sci-fi drama.
I just can't believe the director is the same behind La Casa de Papel. This is insulting.
