High Seas

...loses its charm quickly.

If you're expecting a murder mystery plot similar to Agatha Christie's novels, you won't find it here. It's more of a soap opera with some silly dialogs and clichés. There is a mystery which was the only thing that kept me but it was solved quickly. Starts good but goes downhill fast and fails to deliver a proper and believable story. It's like Gran Hotel. After the resolve of the main mystery it keeps having "twists" similar to "oh I finally found my lost relative", "oh this character has a secret", "oh this character's secret has a secret" etc

This show was a great one to watch. I was going through the reviews and from what I've read viewers are annoyed that the dialogue doesn't match the subtitles, the actors can not act & the the lip syncing is not accurate. I watched the show in Spanish & I can say without a doubt that all those are not true. In its original language the show is great. Lots of plot twists and I look forward to the second season! I gave 8 stars because the show is set in the 1940's and some of the hair, costumes, and scenes are inaccurate for that time but over all good show.

I just finished season 1 tonight. The show is so great that I stayed up all night watching. I only wish I had season 2 to watch now. I loved the fact that it was dubbed in English and the story is amazing and so full of intrigue. Even though at its heart it is a mystery it is also a story of love, family and friendship. As a period drama the sets, costumes and acting were wonderful. I loved each of the individual character stories. But like I've said, I really can't wait for more.

This show was all over my Instagram feed which is why i decided to watch it . I actually got bored a little bit in the first episode but as the show progresses it gets more exciting . I really appreciate the gorgeous cinematography and the color editing and the great effort that was put in the decor to make us live in and the feel that time period with the actors . The CGI , although it felt like it wasn't real , but it was well done enough to not bother me , the acting as well was fairly good . What I didn't like is the story line , it felt a bit lost , like they didn't know where they were going with it and it felt like they were setting up a second season because in the beginning were going slow then fast then in the last episode they didn't arrive at a draw which was disappointing for me , I wish the show consisted of more episodes , or the episodes were longer a bit and it had only one season without stretching the story further over multiple seasons .

I thoroughly enjoyed this show. The cast n the mystery solving was on point. If you're a sucker for dramatic/romance cliche Spanish soaps then this one is a good one :)
