Die Meute

The actresses choices doesn't work, specially with Zegers. the protagonist, doesn't feel strong her interpretation, it miss it the intensity that requires the main detective doesn't exist (do a really good job in El Club).

On the other hand, we have Vega who lends too much an intriguing climate, that doesn't feel natural. In general, is a good mini-series, even get to the hype level of La Casa de Papel (Spanish production), have a good script the suspense of the what will happen?, gets it to the spectator, generates pain, discomfort, sadness, and deception for the actions from the men's. Remember an amazing picture that exhibits scenes not often to contemplate it in Chilean productions.

The message is strong and it needs to give attention to all in our world. Every woman in a moment in her life feels insignificant and fearful of the men.

There are things that i definitely liked, but i can't just deny some aspects that broke the verisimilitude of the serie as a whole. It felt as if they had a lot of good ideas but they couldn't make their minds about which ones to include, resulting in a messy production. Even with all of that, i appreciate the effort to call out some of the problems that most people still ignore. Could've been better? Sure, but it's a good first try (i say first 'cause we don't have a lot of feminist Latin American productions)

I expected more, I think they wanted to cover many stories and did not delve into any. Blanca (Antonia Giesen) barely had dialogues, the villain's outcome was very hasty and the way to discover him almost absurd. The dialogues in general about machismo were very basic, all the men were villains and all the women were victims. Great performances by Antonia Zegers, María Gracia Omegna, Paula Lushinger, Lucas Balmaceda and Clemente Rodríguez. Daniela Vega urgently needs some acting classes, although something has improved since "A Fantastic Woman". I hope that if there is a second season they delve deeper into the stories and it will not be so superficially told. 5/10

First 3 episodes were OK but after that the plot missed the mark. Could have had potential if they tried to take the story to a more realistic approach, sometimes you get the feeling you are watching Girl with the dragon tattoo wannabe. Just finished it and found delusional the open doors for a season 2 (that for sure I won't be watching). The link between this poor series and the case of "la manada" that took place in Spain is that there is a rape = THE END, nothing else.

I liked this series because it has a lot to tell and show about some realities that some people are not capable of accept yet or don't want to realize (the physical and sexual abuse against women by men in a higher position, the psychological vulnerability of the victims, the impunity of the most powerful persons, etc). However, I think that some stories and some characters that I thought it would be more important for the plot, were not fully developed, maybe because of the lack of money or time or I don't know. Give it a chance!
