The Secret of the River

This was an amazing series although its short but full of mysteries, crime, drama, adventure and love , the characters specially @Mauro Guzman and @Frida Santos REALLY FITS as the young characters for the series, The one who chose them as the cast for this series must be proud. The story is about friendship with gender equality. This series I won't forget and always wanted to watch again and again. I also now wanted to study Spanish language its amazing. Hope there be next series for @Mauro Guzman I can't wait for it. The cast especially Jacinto, he really carried me by his actions am starting to hate him, also Rafaela, Ana, Carmen are goooood actress's.

For me, certainly one of the ten best series seen in a long time. The actors, both children and adults, are excellent and very touching.

The story is unusual and gripping, it is told in a very simple way, without all the usual clichés about Mexico, and the discovery of this world and its very special culture fascinates and makes you think. I recommend the original version with subtitles to enjoy the nuances of the language and voices.

It is a pure masterpiece that carries very high and very far the values of friendship, respect, compassion, beauty, patience and perseverance... You may need some tissues at some moments, not included here. ;-)

Let me start off by saying you have to have a mature mind in order to properly digest this material. That means looking beyond the obvious and concentrating on the nuance on display here. The main characters are like oil and water; but at the same time, they are the same. Again, In order to fully comprehend what is on display here requires a very nuanced mind.

The writing and acting here is just a masterpiece. The writing is balanced and consistent with very small hiccups here and there. The young protaganists also are just fantastic. They display a range in acting that is perfection. The project also includes a fabulous musical score, fantastic cinematography and on location filming. This is just flat out a masterwork. Its a must watch.

Direction, good. Acting, expecially from the kids, was really excellent. You never see this level from kids. I use to like series based in México and produced there, but this one really stands alone for its plot, the way It develops, sensitivity; without talking about gangs, narcos (we already had a bunch of shows like that) but still showing something real, a story involving common people in a place that Is not Cdmx nor Cancún or the northern border with Usa. You may find yourself understanding what will happen slowly, step by step, in a way that resembles more literature than tv shows. Most of all, It Is really well written. I think It is one of the best Netflix TV series right now, surely something to watch.

It's a fantastic show that gives viewers outside of Oaxaca a glimps into a hidden world. It's a fascinating and beautiful culture that can teach the rest of the world how to live in harmony instead of hate. I really loved the music, especially the song during the ending credits.

The cinematography is stunning and so is the acting. The child actors were excellent, they gave award winning performances. The direction was obviously very good for the actors of all ages to give such compelling performances. It's a masterpiece!

The song during the ending credits is so gorgeous, and the singer/composer Maya Jamie Burns is my new favorite diva!
