Stolen Away

Look I love to watch Colombian film and series but when a director needs to use music in every scene to force the mood you know the script and direction are lacking.

Perdida is watchable and the story is somewhat interesting albeit convoluted like a novela.

I am an avid follower of Latin American and Spanish cinema, so this combination produced huge dividends. Although the series and films made, produced and directed by Latin Americans tend to carry that "soap opera" style, this series surprised me. Not because I don't have this "cliche", but because the actors make a good effort to get rid of that typical "cliche". The series has a dizzying pace that makes the viewer immerse themselves in the story, plus the soundtrack is very good. Daniel Grao's performances as "Antonio Santos", Pedro Suarez as "Prison Guard Molinos" and Antonio Mora as "Enrique" are far above average. In short, a very good series that touches on a very sensitive subject, but that is still an example of things that happen in real life. For me, one of the best Spanish series on Netflix and if you want to classify it as "Latin American", due to the use of Latino actors, it is in the top 3 after Narcos and Distrito Salvaje.

The second half of this web series was definitely more gripping and interesting than the first half.With better editing the series could have been reduced from 11 episodes to 10.Everything else was good but not great about this show.

I hoped the show is good, but the plot amazed me of how the facts and events surpassed my expectations and twisted the story, but here I should stop mentioning more, as it will be a slight spoil. Just expected the unexpected from the kidnapped kid's life and his surrounding.

The acting is just as needed to be, the characters are of multiple kinds, which makes it colorful, the scenes are well filmed. I can't think of anything that should give this show less than 10 stars as for its kind, there isn't a single weak point.

A great effort. Cunning ingenious crafted script, fast paced. though it relies on make-believe contrived stuff to kick the plot ahead. Exciting from beginning to end.
