Ingobernable

Ignore the bad reviews! This very well written, directed and cast. This was not shot in Mexico, and I impressed in how well the locations were choose. The acting in really good. The plot is decent and crude. Some pleople will say it's exagerated and unrealistic, but in Mexico worst things are happening. Kudos for Kate del castillo and the makers

Honestly the only reason why foreigners may not like Ingobernable it's because they do not know Mexican history and don't understand the relevance of this show. The references to important historical events, the portrait of the military, the media, and the Mexican government, the re-writing of history, foreign government interference, corruption, greed, the interest of few driving a whole nation, it's all just wonderful. Epigmeo Ibarra did an amazing job here and he couldn't have picked a better lead actress. I like how women are portrait in this show too. For me, this show would be a 10, simply for the speech the president did. The speech was, personally, a cathartic moment I am sure 90% of the mexican population would want to see happening in real life. Everything; the president's speech, the well written characters, the portrait of the reality plus the fictional scenarios that are so extreme yet so believable, the good acting, it all makes the show simply amazing.

I only saw the first season, I just won't watch the second. The series reminds me a little of 24, but only a little.

Action and moments of tension are the best. That kept me going.

The worst of all are the very long sex scenes combined with very important action scenes, stupid, and also with a terrible background music.

This ended up convincing me not to see the second season. Unfortunately the action did not seem enough to continue watching.

Love the story and the scenario and the hero of this series

I haven't seen the English subtitles, so i am not sure if the few bad reviews are from people who read a poor translation, or just don't get it....but this show is great! The action, the drama, everything! Disagree with the bad acting comment. This show's characters are well developed and multi-faceted. If you like exciting thrillers, especially if you speak Spanish, you will probably love this. Also... this isn't "Mexico trying to be the US." That kind of US exceptionalism perspective is so limited, misguided, and uncultured (sorry)....and appears to be based on a stereotypical viewpoint of how people in Mexico should dress/act. I can say that this show is definitely Mexican, and definitely a fun watch.
