The Envoys

Not scary as the trailer suggests it's more of a thriller whodunnit and a Catholic propaganda, production value is impressive, the places feel lived-in and authentic.

Episode 1 did well to pull me in, it's decent until the last 3 episodes which is a bit messy and has a little too many twists

Ending will be divisive but I like it.

Two priests who understand medicine, science, and law are dedicated to investigating supposed miracles from around the world. In Season 1 priests Pedro Salinas, a doctor with a scientific bent, and Simon Antequera, a looser cannon, dispatched to the small Mexican town of San Acacio, to investigate the seeming miraculous recoveries of townsfolk who appeared to have died.

Some people gave a negative review because of the dubbing. The dubbing is awful, that's why I adjusted the settings so audio is in Spanish, and subtitles are in English. I guess some people didn't know you could do that.

Season 2 is being filmed.

Those who dont luke it-prob enjoy superhero movies or teletubbies-but if u are a true reviewer watch it it might surprise u-i did

i never understand y u watch a full series then moan its rubbish-i watch one ep=if rubbish watch no more=but if watched all-must mean ur just a idiot and just like to moan.

The second season has English as the original audio so the subtitles are only in Spanish. The English dubbing does not match the actors personalities and talent. Although I don't understand the show when watching it in Spanish at least I can enjoy the show. I prefer watching the show in Spanish instead of the obnoxious English dubbing. The relationship between The Envoys is absent with English dub, which is the heart of the show. I don't a season 3 if they're relying on American English speakers as the dubbing makes it unbearable to watch. I enjoyed the 1st season and I'm happy it is still available with the original Spanish audio track.

This does not sound very promising on paper: character-driven thriller about a pair of priests investigating alleged miracles in rural Mexico. But those two priests are multidimensional (the more religious one is trained as a medical doctor, the more skeptical one as a canon lawyer) and their interactions are snappy and mostly heartfelt. The rest of the cast is largely unremarkable but this 'dynamic duo' and a fairly tight plot, without frills or holes, manages to keep us interested. Said plot is nothing to write home about, but gives them time to shine and packs a few twists and turns. Unfortunately, once fully revealed it seems a little overstretched and the last two episodes are bogged down with Latino melodrama (lots of tears and handwringing, poorly acted dilemmas, perpetual dramatic music, etc.) On the whole it is a decent piece of television, and a relatively nuanced (if not terribly accurate) depiction of Catholicism.
