This story is a very interesting idea, unfortunately there are several issues. To begin with, none of the characters are likable. At the beginning you may have some sympathy for the mother but as the story progresses you start to lose it. The end is very very very disappointing and makes you wonder what was the purpose of this series. Usually you finish a show wishing the characters get the best outcome, but this time I wish they'd had it worse (except for the lawyer). The more I watched the less I liked them. I wouldn't mind hating the characters if at least they've got what they deserve, but they don't.

There are some plot twists, which is good, but you could predict them along the way. It should also have been shorter than 4 episodes, the last one was too slow and got boring some times.

I rarely find a film boring, I like when films are slow, but this one was painful to watch. For over an hour I was wondering whether there was any story to be told at all, later on lots of things start to happen that just add an unnecessary layer of complexity. The core story was interesting, but they didn't have enough material for 2 hours.

What's more infuriating is the ending, you just get wondering what was the purpose of all that drama if things were going in that direction without any development in between. Actually, instead of wasting time with unnecessary complexity, why not explore how the things Rebeca and Marc discovered would have impacted their mental health? Would they have very paradoxical feelings? Would they fight with each other because of different views in the matter? Instead we get an end that seems to come out of nowhere. Or if they definitely didn't want to go in this direction, they should have made a much shorter film.

The acting was good and the photography fantastic. The way they chose to tell the story was also very creative. But that's not enough to save this film.

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.
