    Nonsensical

    I gave it a shot because not only do I love all the countries it is set in, but the cast is generally speaking great too.

    However... what a waste of talented actors. Everyone involved in this project deserved a better story, I'm not even sure how they prepared for their roles because nothing makes sense. It's impossible to follow what's going on. And as much as I love Victoria Guerra, her accent was weak and they could have easily casted a Brazilian actress instead. Unless it turns out in the end that her true nationality all along wasn't Brazilian - I wouldn't know because I just couldn't torture myself to watch the whole thing.

    I'm always happy to see Portuguese/Spanish series on Netflix and wish there were more, but they need to amp up the quality and make justice to the talent they hire.

    Poor series not worth its time

    The subject of the series is appealing and the Spanish-Brazilian collaboration full of potential but the series is not worth the time. Very poor direction, with unnecessary jumps from past to present and back, from one location to anotherand back - the movie is a head-scratching mess.

    There are a lot of story lines left unaddressed and numerous characters left unexplained.

    The acting is decent for how chaotic the characters have been drafted. In general, it feels like the director went for shock and gory instead of dramatic coherence.

    Unless you want to waste six hours of your life, don't even start it.

    Ridiculous

    This really was a mess. It started off promisingly but then tapered down to a confusing farrago of nothing. At times, the scriptwriters clearly couldn't think of how to fill the six hours they'd been commissioned to write so they repeated scenes from earlier episodes - the fourth episode was dreary filler showing almost exactly what we'd seen before. It wasn't even done from the perspective of a different character. This pattern repeated itself on the final episodes too.

    I'd worked out who Santo was by the end of episode four. It was impossible not to have done. However, even though it was obvious, it was ludicrously at odds with both what the character was meant to have been and the storyline, such as it was.

    I'm the meantime, we go past inexplicable situations where people grass on each other for no reason, fail to kill baddies, go loopy and attract the cops' attention only to die, express devotion to a mythical father.

    The two cops mentioned in the IMDB synopsis are mavericks, of course and ignore the law in their own ways. Both suffer for this.

    The most unbelievable theme is that of voodoo/Satanism from old Dahomey being the glue that bound the drug smugglers together to the point of dying for the cause. Even the usage of psychedelics as shown couldn't have engendered the scenarios postulated here.

    There's going to be a second season, gawd help us, after the predictable cliffhanger. I shan't be watching.

    Terribly told story. SKIP.

    Terribly told story. SKIP.

    Very confusing between different time lines. There is not really a story, a bunch of evil cult stuff.

    Nothing new but confusing.

    It is not clear what is the police doing or whether the police from Spain ans Brazil are working together or not.

    The twist at the end was predictable to me. How didn't get the behaviour of the two main police officers.

    Do not waste your time, I started watching thinking it is based on a true story but around episode four, realized, it wasn't and made the whole series even worst and worth my time.

    I stayed hoping maybe for something original but nothing. SKIP.

    A Convoluted Mess

    This mess of six episodes held promise for two episodes and then the train got so derailed that the wreck that followed could never be put back together again. First the positives, why there are 3 stars, direction was decent, acting ok, photography above average, acting good, dubbing decent. Now the other side, editing was so bad you couldn't keep up half the time, they constantly replayed scenes and finally you got that perhaps the character was dreaming them (?) or did they just need filler, or...your guess is as good as any. The title character of ultimate evil, when revealed was a bit anti-climatic, you probably figured it out and the character really did not fit into the supposed history of the Santo legend, unless...and I wont give that away if you waste 6 hours watching it you will see what I mean. Also, we have plot lines hanging, new ones rising, all to add weight to a story that already can't carry the burden. We have our two male leads having the opportunity to do the right thing and just staring into space as the moment slips by. People acting as no reasonable person would except in a screenwriters brain. Sorry, this series is just bad in so many, many ways and then they throw in the stupidest cliff hanger at the end to try to hook you into another season!!!! Wow, the gaul! Skip this one, I suffered through it for you!
