Triptych

Can you really claim something is based on a real story when only 1% of it is real? The only real story here is triplets finding out they are triplets, but all the rest is fabricated. It's a cheaper version of Orphan Black (even the hair styles!) while mixing a bunch of other random stuff in an attempt to create something original. It wouldn't bother me so much if the story ended up being good, but it's not! They create a lot of unnecessary complexity, playing with the way events unfold, they think you'll be surprised with a big reveal and a plot twist, but it's actually predictable!

And why create two characters who work for the police but can't figure out much of anything on their own? Not to mention how dumb they can be sometimes.

The acting is good and that's the only reason why I'm giving 4 stars.

It started out intriguing, but the show overall started to get to me after the first two episodes. It just did not hold my interest that much. So, I speed watched a bit and then jumped to the last episode after the end of episode 2. The plot to me is just a bit too unbelievable and I would have to say silly. It is almost like a science fiction story that started out as a drama. I could not figure it out and after a but I decided enough was enough and that is when I jumped to the conclusion, aka last episode. The story is a "who did it" and then tries to get you to think about who the real bad guy is. But after a bit you just do not care.

This is an interesting thriller, stronger at the beginning episodes than at the end. Maite Perroni is fantastic in the lead role, but I wish they gave her something more stable to work with.

The series is a bit disjointed, I don't know how else to describe it. It's like some major scenes were left in editing on the cutting room floor, especially in the last episode. We jump from one situation to another without an explanation in between.

Even the credits claim there was nudity, but I don't recall any. If there was, it wasn't much. Maybe that was edited out too.

And this was filmed in Mexico? Most of the vehicles seem to have Mexican plates. But until halfway through I thought it was filmed in Spain. Everyone looks European, and are dressed in sweaters and jackets for colder weather. A couple scenes show heavily forested hills that just look out of place in most of Mexico. All these things together feel a little odd. But maybe that's what they were going for.

Potentially good story, but only average execution. First episode e starts strong but then the story slows down. The plot still develops in the next 5 episodes, but just to slow. It is further slowed down by pointless erotic and other scenes that last way too long and contribute nothing to the story or the plot. Acting is average and at times just over the top. Some scenes are confusing as it is not exactly clear where or when the happen? Memory? Dream? Connection?

Camerawork and photography are decent but not special in any way.

The theme as such has so much more potential than is displayed in this series. Watchable, but be prepared to fast forward pointless time-killing scenes.

The premise of the story, without giving spoilers, is based on true events. More accurately, *similar* events. But enough to inspire a genuine twisty plot that leaves you both feeling enthralled and satisfied. Naysayers that reviewed it poorly simply don't have the intellectual capacity to connect the very spelled out dots and need to have every detail spoon fed, so don't let that dissuade you from watching it. It's a worthwhile mini binge for sure. It was a good time that had an ending that was modestly predictable (only reason I didn't give 10/10) but wrapped it up in some unexpected ways. Definitely enjoyed it.
