What a disappointment! I don't understand how anyone can give this series 7 stars.
The theme is incredibly important and strong, one of those I like, but it quickly turns into a confusing kind of soap opera with a terrible main character. I'm talking about Ema Garay, the journalist.
She leaps to conclusions far too quickly and makes terrible choices. She doesn't seem to worry about the consequences. The subject needs a stronger character, no doubt. And the issue is that pretty fast I had already stopped caring. A protagonist should inspire you to cheer for them. Especially because of the important topic.
As if that's not enough, the storytelling is frustrating and badly edited. It keeps flipping back and forth between past and present, and not in a good way. Rather than enhancing the mystery, it just bogs things down. At times, I didn't care anymore and I was more exhauted than excited to see more.
Not even the performances do much to hold you. If you're a big fan of Harlan Coben's work, you may want to skip this one. Don't expect anything fabulous or exciting.
If you're just seeking for a solid mystery thriller, I will not send you here; best to find something else.
This is another weak Harlan Coben adaptation, and a real bad one.

First off I'm argentinian, so this may be a little biased. You have been warned.
When I started watching this series I thought it would be the typical missing girl movie/series. I don't wanna spoil anything, but let's just say it's not what it may seem at first look...in a good way. You think you know what's happening and then it takes some very unexpected turns.
The story is ultimately not "shocking", but I think that's something good, it ads to its overall credibility.
Acting is decent. Dialogues are reasonably good and credible (as a lawyer I found some police lines kinda dumb, but that's unavoidable in a work of fiction) music is ok, photography is good.
I would recommend this. It's not one of the best series out there, but it's well above average, especially for Netflix standards.

Beautiful landscapes, great cinematography, and strong performances make this series engaging. It's always a pleasure to see Soledad Villamil, and alongside Alberto Ammann, the series boasts a truly great cast. Ammann remains an underrated talent despite his standout role in *Narcos*, he still hasn't gotten the recognition he deserves.
Such a gifted actor!
The story is compelling and keeps you hooked.
However, the naivety of the main character is hard to believe...unless, sadly, this is how many journalists operate today, disregarding consequences.
Overall, it's an interesting series, and for lovers of Argentinian culture, it's an even more appealing watch.

Don't pay too much attention to the negative comments directed at the main protagonist. In fact, the character's impulsive and misguided decisions are essential to the narrative. They're not flaws in the writing - they're the very foundation of the show's message. These choices drive the plot forward and force the viewer to reflect on the consequences of acting without thinking, of rushing into things with blind conviction. It's through her errors that the story gains emotional depth and tension, ultimately delivering a powerful moral. There's a lot to take away from this show in terms of personal growth, accountability, and the complexity of human behavior.
Aside from those criticisms I've seen, Caught is a visually stunning production. The performances are solid across the board, with the actors bringing a raw authenticity to their roles. The cinematography is beautiful - every shot feels carefully composed, and the natural landscapes are not only scenic but also contribute to the atmosphere of the series. The music, for the most part, complements the mood and tone of the scenes perfectly, adding emotional weight where needed (though I did find one particular scene a bit cliché in its musical choice, but that's a small detail in an otherwise well-curated score).
Overall, Caught is much more than just a mystery or drama - it's a layered exploration of consequences, ethics, and the fine line between truth and manipulation. It may be uncomfortable to watch at times, but that's exactly what makes it worthwhile.

The script and idea were promising, with good potential to create a gripping story. However, the poor editing and very bad performances turned it into a confusing and slow series that failed to maintain engagement. The lack of pacing, awkward scene transitions, and uninspired acting made it frustrating to watch. What could have been a compelling thriller ended up feeling disjointed and tedious. The atmosphere and setting had promise, but the execution fell flat, making it difficult to connect with the story or characters. The dialogue felt unnatural, and the tension never fully developed, leaving a disappointing final result.
