I don't understand or read Spanish much, so watched with subtitles.
No spoilers in this review because the less you know, the better.
The lead actress is excellent. I had seen her in Narco, so she looked familiar, couldn't place her. All the actors are good, but she steals the show. I'm very curious about the books.
Giving It a ten for the uniqueness and the lead Actress
Are there going to be more seasons? Hard to believe.
I'd love to talk about the series, but on this one any spoilers would interfere with surprises. Very R rated. It avoids showing the few moments of actual violence. Lots of drug scenes. Sex scenes aren't explicit, but frequent.
Overall a very tricky and clever story.

The series is based on the 2003 novel 'Diablo Guardián' by Xavier Velasco.
Violetta (Paulina Gaitán) is a sucker for luxurious and materialistic lifestyle and leaves her ordinary Mexico life for the glittery life of New York, with $217,000 in hand, that she had stolen from her disapproving parents.
Initially, she revels in luxurious - hotel stay, clothing, wine, dine and the likes. But eventually, the money runs out and she resorts to high end conning and prostitution, till it lasts.
Herein, the protagonist is kind of amoral but child like and gleeful and continuously experiments with everything fashionable and luxurious, which makes for an interesting watch.

Something along those lines ... although you could never really tell what goes on, in that pretty little head of our main character. Pretty little head and pretty little body (no pun intended) - of whicht the viewer will get to see quite a lot of.
Having said that, the movie works on more than a dramatic level. There is also a lot of thriller in it. Of course the first season is way tighter than the second one. Even though it seems that the second one is ending in a bang. But that cannot make up for weaker storytelling all around. First season is or at least seems more focused.
Also the way the first season ends ... and the way things are being picked up in season 2 ... well it is almost a slap in the face of the viewers. Soap Operas have done it before, but it is not fitting for a show like this, to play/fool around with the viewer like that. In my humble opinion. Ok show, nothing more, nothing less.

Great Paulina Gaitán starring Violetta...there could not be a better actress for the role! The book adaptation is phenomenal and supported by the same book writer Xavier Velasco.
Great drama and an hedgy story!
I don't agree with the purists: Diablo Guardián is a darn good adaptation of a novel that wouldn't fit work as a movie.
The actors are amazing, both Violetta (Paulina Gaitán) and Nefastófeles (Andrés Almeida) did an outstanding job. Also, let's remember Xavier Velasco (the writer) chose Paulina and Pig, he helped with the casting.
So, needless to say I love it. I think it'll become a big event for Prime Video production and it's already a high mark for Mexican TV.

- WissenswertesSince the first episode of this series , Paulina Gaitan has invariably had some nude scene. It wasn't so easy, she says, because she actually considers herself quite modest, and for that reason, these sequences had to be done behind closed doors, or rather, on a closed set. "Batan Silva always respected me a lot, he knew that I was a complicated character, that I had to be with someone every day or be naked. They took these issues very delicately, they took great care of me. I was naked and played with the actors, you know? There was never any problem." But also, Paulina adds, there was a cunning plan: to avoid making her uncomfortable, she did the sex scenes with friends. "There are many cameos and those people who just happen to be intimate, what I asked for was for them to be my friends. So I brought actors with me who are lifelong friends, like José Sefami. I told him: 'Come Sefami, let's have sex, my love, we're going to have a good time' and there we were having a good time, as it should be."
