The guys are so bloody sexy, ripped and hot & good looking!
The ladies are very beautiful! Sexy!
Scenery is beautiful.
Everything is beautiful, Everyone is beautiful. Sexy.
The plot is and can be quite happening Except that there's so many twist and turn - some parts are so irritating - the fact Camilla keeps exerting herself when she knew Miguel is married - we keep going in circles - wondering why she's still hanging around - draggy to me.
Too many twists and turns that I forget what the heck was happening.
So I just watched for the beautiful people making out. That was my motivation LOL Of course my curiosity about the ending too made me stick around but the sexy scenes kept me going.
The 5 stars I have given here is for the sexy people. I know I am shallow :p.

I think that what they spent on locations they saved on hiring proper writers. The scenery is breathtaking but that is all there is. The original plot is interesting and enticing. However, they spend too much time on parties and sex scenes and then seem to run out of time to unravel everything. The last episode is like an editing disaster. The acting is atrocious, except maybe for the actress playing the wife and the young gigolo waiter. All others are like glossy cardbord figurines. Very beautiful indeed but as shallow and unbelievable as they can be. However, I doubt even good actors could have done much better with such abismal writing. The final scene is a complete joke and if it is the prelude to a second season, we have to expect comedy.
I'm confused why a Vegas dancer is getting obsessed with a man that she had a 4 month fling with after she finds out she's been lied to. He has a family in another country. But I lied I'm the beginning also... I'm a stage dancer
She becomes welcomed into a his rich circle and invited to an opening....oh the chef owner forgot.. It's today.
Oh I just landed but after finding out my man lied... I have a flight 4 hrs later.... Oh I guess I'll change it to tomorrow..
Next day...oh I'll not leave again. I'll move into the house next door.. With no contract and no money down.. I decided I'm actually staying..
It's like a long soap opera.. But I don't get why . What did she get out of this? He already explained why he lied. Now she's quitting her beloved job and paying what 20k because you finally had an orgasm
Otherwise it's a beautiful rich people with soap opera acting.

The story is simple. I will give you that but so are the multiple movies we've seen since the 60s both in cinema and television. Something they did well was to rely on Carolina Miranda's most iconic role on "Who killed Sara?" in which she played a supporting character that helped her rise to fame, and be known internationally due to the show's success. She does the exact same thing here. She elegantly carries the story forward as the main character facing an unimaginable fate. It is emotional, thought-provoking, and allows you to stay well put as you admire a plot written for fans who thoroughly enjoys thrillers with a twist. It is yet to be determined how it will all end. I am only on episode 6 that I am watching at this very moment. It has as of writing this an unforgettable soundtrack, a scenery that only those who appreciate cinematography will enjoy, and a poetic vibe that fills the room. I will give it a fair 6.8 out of 10. Colombia have produced yet another decent show following many if their recent successes. We may have here yet another great source for international productions that one could compare to what was and is made in America.

Don't listen to the people who only saw the first episode. Can't judge the whole series by only seeing half an hour skipping some scenes.
Obviously has some ridiculous and not-possible-in-real-life plots but hey! All the action movies are packed with these kind of endings.
It is unbelievably entertaining. I watched the whole season in a day.
It's thrilling, it's romantic and also interesting to see what lengths people go to destroy their own family out of bitterness & selfishness.
Breathtakingly beautiful actors, playing well considering this is closer to a 'soap opera'. Painting very well the life of the super wealthy who can manipulate the mediocre people around easily with a lot of cash as a prize.

I was interested in seeing this only after the trailer played automatically on Netflix. I went in thinking it was a film rather than a series. Carolina and Rodolfo both gave solid performances. This is in part because of adequate character development. The fact that these actors look like Greek Gods is algae dropping to the audience. You keep questioning, "How can anyone be that beautiful? This is followed by jealousy and lingering insecurity.
The writers failed other actors, it would have made for a more invested audience had they given more development to the other actors. Some performances were very tele-nova (Angelina.) We could have used a lot less of her! After tolerating a few minutes of this, the viewer is tempted to ditch the show...however they bounce back to one of the solid performances and it keeps you engaged.
I wanted to race to the end to see how it all played out. Every episode builds anticipation that then ebbs and flows. I found myself wanting more clues. The build up ends with disappointment. I'm not sure where I thought it was heading but found myself regretful having spent 10 hours watching.
It was obvious the creator spent money on this production. The scenery was breathtaking. However, the audience is quickly sucked away from imagery, bc every person's ringtone was phenomenally annoying, constantly disrupting the flow of the show and distracting the viewer. The soundtrack was lacking. They kept going back to a particularly irritating song, each time the main character is dancing. Between that and the ringtone...I had to mute and/or fast-forward content. Had they been more mindful with the music, it could have profoundly supported the relationships that seemed genuine.
I think the writers and directors relied too heavily on lengthy sex scenes, it detracted from the show.
This was particularly evident in the brother's relationships. The plot insinuated that men immediately have sex-avoiding true intimacy.
With as much sexual content, there was no feeling of angst and longing between characters-which would have helped with plot and character development. Everybody just jumped straight to bed!
Early on, I really wanted the main character to develop feelings for her pretend husband. It would have greatly enhanced their chemistry, making the main character feel torn, rather than simply pining for one person and seeking revenge. The conclusion of this thought is only unveiled in the last few minutes of the finale, leaving me pretty disappointed. The main character never vocalized her end game, her goals. The viewer just bounces between characters, desperate to tie all sun-plots together somehow.
I gave a 6 because I had been excited and invested in the first 4 episodes. The creators really could have limited this to 6 episodes.

Oh my god, this was a pain to watch throughout, was hoping it to get better, but seriously it just stays bad! The female main character has the worst ever ringtone!
Poor acting, cheap production... boring story, wasted 10 episodes of my life. Probably who said here this was good they must be related to the actors or director.
Normally Netflix tv shows are good, and by the information and title Fake Profile seemed alright, however it is a true disappointment. From the first moment to the last it was awful. It reminded me of a cheap Brasil soap opera.
If I could, I would give zero stars, it is that bad!

Overall excellent cast (Miranda is breathtaking), directing and scenery. I especially like the absence of overdramatic acting which is otherwise very typical for Southern countries. Scenes are raw and in tune with reality though so beautiful you just want to visit every background they use and live there forever. The beaches, the night life, the architecture and the atmosphere of Las Vegas and Columbia are just fantastic.
Besides all the cool stuff there's a really smart take on today's society problems like social media curs that's poisoning our world with inducing greed, lies, deception and empty mentality.
I highly recommend these series. Beautiful and eye opening.
Enjoy! :)

I was glad when it was finally over, but completely mortified that it has been renewed for a second season. Terrible plot, unlikeable characters, terrible writing, terrible, terrible! No character to root for at all, even to the very end. Also the charaters felt more driven by the plot and it's was one (cringe) thing after another. The sex, the killing, the nudity, the sex was all just for shock value.
Considering this is a Latin American/Columbian produced show it has borrowed some of the typical telenovela troupes: handsome, beautiful cast with gorgeous bodies and muscles, evil rich people, villains, blackmail, sex, secrets, poisoning, kidnapping etc, but the outcome is a bad blending of all this because it's also too cramped, and even though its not a traditional story but modern exploring online dating, it all feels forced just for ratings and shock value.
I would rather recommend a traditional telenovela that goes for 100 plus episodes; there are some that are really good, and some telenovelas are bad but entertaining, but some are just bad. But this hybrid of a show has produced an bad outcome. What some of the characters did was just to drive the plot, and the actions of the characters made no sense at all.

I really enjoyed series one. An interesting story line, reasonably believable for what is really a soap or telenovela, attractive looking people, up to no good at times, but hot and erotic. Series two seems to have thrown caution to the wind, and delivered a story that lacks any credibility (even by the unexacting standards of telenovela). A lot of the action seems quite random, without proper explanation or reason. Needless to say, the actors all have impeccable physiques, and have plenty of opportunity to show them off. I quite like some erotic content to liven up a series on a cold winter afternoon, and this did it to a degree, but the story was a complete mess and many of the actions of the characters lacking intelligence and reason.

First episode, good!
Then all of the sudden it turned into a hot mess!
Final episode DIDNT make sense as to how dead people where "rising from the death" by art of magic! It could be easily a show of max 5 episodes! Carrying on the same line over and over, I wouldn't recommend this show to anyone! Besides the fact of the undertone of 50 shades of gray!
Don't waste your time and energy, many other good shows out there to watch, definitely I expected more and will rate this no more than 1 star. Keep watching thinking it was going to get better, but no! Save your time and precious energy!
Dissapointed!

The Netflix description doesn't do this show justice. It's a bit of a psychological thriller and for me it was hard to predict and I am typically good at predicting shows. There is amazing character development and getting into the minds of each character is fascinating. The ending leaves something left to the imagination but not enough for a second season although I would love to know a little more about what happened. I watched all 10 episodes in 1 day. If you only watch the first few minutes you may find it uninteresting, but I promise if you make it to the end of the first episode you'll be hooked. You really have to pay attention because things are never as you think they are.

"Fake Profile" presents itself as a series brimming with entertainment value, offering viewers a thrilling and engaging narrative underscored by its well-crafted screenplay. The show's ability to keep audiences on the edge of their seats is a testament to its adept storytelling and compelling character portrayals. However, upon closer examination, there are a few elements that warrant scrutiny, particularly regarding the conclusion of the finale episode, which left much to be desired in terms of satisfaction and unpredictability.
Rodolfo Salas's portrayal of Miguel stands out as one of the highlights of the series. Salas infuses Miguel with a captivating intensity and authenticity that breathes life into the character, making him a standout presence on screen. His ability to navigate the complexities of Miguel's persona with finesse and nuance contributes significantly to the show's overall appeal. Salas's performance serves as a driving force behind the series' success, drawing viewers deeper into the intricacies of the plot.
While Salas commands attention with his stellar performance, the same cannot be said for every character, particularly Camila. Despite the actress's efforts, Camila's character lacks the depth and development needed to resonate with audiences. Her portrayal falls short of capturing the complexities and nuances that would elevate her character beyond a superficial archetype. As a result, Camila's presence feels somewhat underwhelming compared to the other characters, leaving a noticeable gap in the series' ensemble.
Furthermore, the main lead actress fails to fully embody the strength and agency that her role demands. While she delivers a competent performance, her character's trajectory feels overshadowed by the more dynamic supporting cast members. Strengthening the main lead actress's role and providing her with a more compelling arc could enrich the series and add depth to its narrative landscape.
Despite these shortcomings, "Fake Profile" excels in its exploration of online deception and the blurred lines of identity in the digital age. The series adeptly navigates themes of privacy, cyberbullying, and the psychological motivations behind creating fake profiles, offering viewers a thought-provoking glimpse into the darker aspects of online behavior. Through its timely and relevant themes, "Fake Profile" prompts audiences to reflect on their own digital footprints and the consequences of their online actions.

What a belly flop!
Total waste of time with a cast that doesn't know how to act, and a plot that's all over the place.
Thinking about other Latin American productions like Narcos and Monaco, this production doesn't even deserve 1*.
The whole thing doesn't make sense..... It's like going on a very unnecessary wild goose chase - knowing you are getting nowhere with it.
The production crew should have spent more time scouting for better characters and developing a solid plot, and less time curating sex scenes.
This is the kind of acting that you'd expect in a 90s soap opera..... Not in 2023.

The people who say it's a bad show just didn't watch it or there's a disconnect very very good, how can you not like it. No reason to not watch once you start you won't have a problem not wanting to watch great acting, easy to follow. Filmed in a great spot each character plays a good role can't wait for season 2 to be if the best shows I've seen. People saying this is a 1/10 is a joke don't let the rating fool you it is a great show simple. Didn't expect much but at the end had me disappointed cus it was over. Couldn't really savior it and watch something else and come back to it because it was so dam good.

I feel like I've wasted part of my life!!!!! Someone majorly dropped the ball... I don't know if it's the acting, production, writing or what but this is the worst thing I've ever watched.....I was excited at first, especially since I've watched some great shows from Netflix and it appeared to be interesting but omg it just gets worse and worse.... Do yourself a favor and don't waste your precious time...

If you're looking for a drinking game show, look no further. Insanely beautiful actors (hubba hubba), a ridiculous plot with a million loopholes, people that only "love" because they're horny together, (and who could blame them?!) and sometimes it's the first time they've kissed on screen? Woah. Some cringe-worthy, horrible making-out, reminiscent of Timothee Chalamet's pubescent character kissing in "Love the Coopers," and a sinister gigolo that looks like he's 12 and wearing a fake beard (sometimes literally and figuratively.) I am enjoying this show on a silly level though. I wish they would let the actors improvise a little, so It doesn't feel so plastic and bubblegum. Great show to learn Spanish, especially with word-for-word translations in subtitles (which often isn't the case.) Learn Spanish and get horny at the same time! Wee! If you are a gabacho/a and hope to surround yourself with Latinos either at home or abroad, this will help you acclimate to real life around passionate, charismatic, Latin people who are intelligent (Well, this show may not help you there, but you'll be bilingual?) and actually know how to dance (unlike, unfortunately, the gorgeous protaganist. But she does try!) And again, hubba hubba! I hope these actors have recovered and are back to drinking water and having some normal ratio of body fat and hydration.
The writing is terrible. The acting is mediocre. The voiceovers are subpar. It's a glorified soap opera. But even with all that, it was ridiculously over the top and entertaining enough to at least have on in the background while I'm doing other stuff, and...I somehow finished the season. That's gotta be worth four stars at least, right?
On the positive side, it looks beautiful at least. It's very colorful, and the premise is somewhat intriguing.
If you want cheap, pulpy entertainment to have on while you're folding laundry or some other chore, this isn't a bad option. Just don't watch it expecting more!
