Having seen other South American series and movies, this also looked promising, especially as it was based on a true story and set in a remote part of Chile, rather than the more traditional urban areas. The acting by Francesco Melo was quite solid, apart from a few scenarios that were really misplaced, like the boxing segments. There were other unnecessary scenes and far too much emphasis on the sexual interactions between various characters. The main story of the missing girls was often lost in the many other side stories, which made it longer that needed and more complicated than necessary. The stark and bleak landscape and oppressive poverty and conditions these people lived in was hard to watch at times, and yet important to the story itself. There was enough tension and a few possible suspects that only became clear near the end. But the last episode was handled poorly with too much philosophizing by Rojas while the killer just stood there listening. Overall a very dark, sad and unflattering look at an event in Chile's recent history. The past was bad enough, and it looks like there is still room for improvement in the areas of corruption, domestic violence and gender inequality. An ok series but it could have been a bit more streamlined.
