"All Her Fault" is, simply put, a very good thriller. Having just finished the series, I can say that the creative team did a spectacular job building the story and keeping the plot intensifying chapter after chapter. It's the kind of show that forces you to expect the unexpected and constantly be ready for the unknown, making for a truly gripping watch.
What really elevates this series is the continuous, calculated build-up of suspense. There's no downtime; the narrative momentum is relentless. Every episode peels back layers of the mystery, ensuring that by the time you reach the next chapter, you're already desperate to see what twist is waiting around the corner.
Credit must also be given to the cast. All the actors are doing a remarkably good job, delivering performances that feel grounded and intense, which is essential for a high-stakes thriller. Their work helps anchor the sometimes wild shifts in the plot.
Ultimately, this series definitely kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. If you're looking for a suspenseful watch that knows how to execute a complex plot with maximum intensity, "All Her Fault" is highly recommended.

What truly makes a great undercover thriller isn't just the action or the plot twists; it's the internal cost paid by the agent. She Walks in Darkness (or Un fantasma en la batalla) is an absolute masterclass in this, and for me, it instantly became one of the best police dramas I've seen recently. The film hinges entirely on Susana Abaitua's mesmerizing performance as Amaia, the undercover agent. Honestly, she is the reason this movie works. The camera loves to linger on her face, and every frame reveals the sheer weight of her deception. She doesn't just play a tough agent; she embodies the terrifying vulnerability of a person living a fractured life.
I was completely captivated by the way Abaitua portrayed the slow erosion of the boundary between Amaia's real identity and the dangerous role she must inhabit. Her eyes constantly communicate a silent terror-the fear of being discovered, combined with the deeper fear of forgetting who she is. It's raw, it's complex, and it completely elevates the film from a standard procedural to a profound psychological study. The tension isn't just in the gang she's trying to infiltrate; it's in Amaia's own soul, and Abaitua delivers that conflict with chilling authenticity.
The script, pacing, and atmosphere are all top-notch, building a claustrophobic sense of dread that kept me glued to the screen. But when I think back on this movie, I won't remember the specifics of the investigation as much as I will remember the gut-punch emotional impact of Abaitua's Amaia. It's a performance that deserves all the praise and solidifies her as a dramatic force. If you love thrillers with psychological depth, this is required viewing.

I just finished watching this colossal disaster of a movie-let's call it "The Protocol"-and despite the hype around it, I am left not entertained, but genuinely terrified. Not by the fictional nuclear threat it tries to depict, but by the sheer, staggering incompetence of the systems and personnel it showcases.
If this film is meant to be even a vague reflection of how a possible nuclear attack on America would actually unfold, then I am very deeply worried. The entire premise is built on the baffling assumption that our detection and intervention systems are still in the dinosaur age. There is simply no way, in the year we live in, that the world's most advanced security apparatus would be this porous, this slow, and this laughably antiquated. It's unbelievable, and it ruins any chance of taking the story seriously.
But the systems are only half the problem. The highly trained personnel-the men and women supposedly trained for years to deal with this exact kind of existential event-behave like total, absolutely ridiculous amateurs. Their actions lack any professional logic, their communication is chaotic, and the whole unfolding of the event makes no sense. The film tries to be a gripping, real-time depiction of a crisis, but it ends up feeling like a farce. It's a nice try, perhaps, but ultimately an unbelievable pile of nonsense.
This is the point that truly stresses me: the terrifying realization that if the movie is any reflection of how reality would look, the world, and especially America, is in a deeper pit hole than one can imagine. The film doesn't just fail as a thriller; it serves as a terrifying indictment of professional competence. I sincerely hope that the actual men and women responsible for global security are nothing like the inept, disorganized characters on screen, because watching this cinematic train wreck has only fostered deep anxiety about our actual state of readiness.
It's an insult to intelligence, and the only suspense it generated in me was the dread that real life might mirror this on-screen failure.
