The best coming of age TV Show hands down! Great comedy. Mystery, drama, romance everything. I found it really relatable, from my own experiences in my early 20s as well - bittersweet is the main theme here.
They got the balance and nostalgia absolutely perfect.
Each episode is about 30 mins, but packs an emotional punch,and i was able to binge watch the entire first season in about a week.
I dont want to spoil the plot, but its a rags to riches story thats narrated in flashback to his nephew, depicting the 80s period in a popular fictional Mexico hotel for rich celebrities. The supporting actors do a good job here also with some of their own emotional sub plots. It also has a nostalgic/bittersweet type romance that is the center of the plot. It is excellent as i could relate to everything the main character Maximo went through in his 20s.
10/10.

I have only watched one episode. But in terms of filmaking, this is sheer genius. One of the best adaptations ever, and one of the best tv shows ever. HBO simply do not disappoint. Pedro pascal is wonderfully cast as the lead protagonist in a post apocalyptic dystopia, urban wasteland.
The first episode contains a lot of surprises and plot twists. Pascal's character struggles to come to grips with loss and the new framework of society after a zombie apocalypse rips thru the heart of America. He meets a young girl, who may hold the key to human's salvation...
In terms of runtime, fantastic value, the pilot is well over an hour long. May it continue.

Really enjoyed season 1. It was well filmed and the lead actress Ms Grainger gives a good performance as the lead detective. She emotes well with her eyes. Season 1 also has some very surprising action moments as well. Dont want to spoil the plot, but this is one of the better british espionage thriller shows. The other one is 'bodyguard' which only had 1 season.
Season 2, just started, is simply even better, its excellent. Its a continuation of the first season, only the stakes are higher. Show does take a bit of time to understand, as a lot of sudden plot twists to wrap your head around. The themes are relevant right to the current day e.g. Espionage, China, surveilance, all that. Sort of like 'Enemy of the state' but a bit more sophisticated now.
