This is a Excellent Series, Good storyline and fresh ideas A bit quirky yet interesting, You will enjoy each Episode an each gets better than the last one. I hope that a second season is already in the works , Because it truly deserves another season . You watch the character develop into a good Detective and solve cases that the police completely ignore and make any attempt to solve. Naturally corruption is envolved in a case that gets solved. You will truly enjoy watching this series and look forward to each episode and want more. A second season is a absolute must , So put pen to paper and get started on a couple of new seasos.

Light hearted yet very well acted, really enjoyed each episode, the fact that it ended the way it did, makes me thing (hope) for q second season, only 3 episodes, me Mendez is probably one of the best Mexican actors at the moment and had very good chemistry with Paulina Gaitab, super hot by the way, is set in the 70s which a golden era for Mexican cinema so it definitely ads a touch of nostalgia, at least to us that are familiar with them.

I'll keep my fingers crossed as I really look forward for season 2 and more, I know there's plenty of material so, why not?

Definitely a must see highly recommend.

A cookie -cutter murder mystery made for the American audiences. Some gore, some drama, an oh-so-good guy, an oh-so-corrupt policeman and, of course an oh-so-gorgeous (and brave!) girl. The evil guy is also extremely stereotypical.

Of course it is on Netflix - and the quality of films on Netflix is continuously going down.

South American cinema has so many gems, but Netfilx chooses just the ones that don't require much thinking. (As a matter of fact, low IQ seems to be a requirement for Netflix films.) I have been fooled again by high IMDB ratings and glowing reviews. Don't waste your time with this mediocre film.

This series from Mexico starts off quite strongly, but fizzles quickly. The story soon becomes filled with too many subplots, not all of which have relevance to the main plot. The story starts to lose continuity through poor editing and jumps in the story sequence that leaves viewers quite baffled as to how the sequence of events jumped from A to C without going through B! The plot eventually becomes so confusing that there is complete loss of interest by the time the final episode comes around. The acting is passable but the audio is poorly done with moments where the dialog becomes inaudible because of the loud soundtrack drowning out the voices of the actors. This happens more than once.

With a little more focus on ensuring story continuity and sequencing through proper editing, and ensuring that the dialog isn't drowned out by background music, the series is quirky and different enough to be quite entertaining.

My first thought: Oh dear, a crime series from Mexico. And then I was pleasantly surprised. Exciting, with the right pinch of humor and imaginative. And with really good actors.

Yes, you can also produce good series away from Hollywood. At least under the aegis of Netflix. As already proven by Narcos.

Hector Belascoaran Shayne, a well-heeled engineer, quits his job, leaves his wife and tries his hand at private investigation. And his first case is a vicious wife-killer. Not quite new the story of the first episode, but well interpreted.

The atmosphere of the series, set in the 1970s, is also appealing.
