Leopard Skin

Fausto Malon (Gentry White), Sierra Loba (Nora Arnezeder), and Clover Braun (Margot Bingham) are on the run after a diamond heist. They seek a temporary hideout at a seaside estate. They take Alba Fontana (Carla Gugino) and Batista 'Batty' Ferreira (Gaite Jansen) hostage. The women's relationship is secretive and they are hosting a dinner for director Max Hammond (Philip Winchester) and his trophy girlfriend Maru (Amelia Eve).

This starts as a crime drama spiced with a bit of tropical Spanish flavor. It's a little quirky, a lot of sexy, and a bit mysterious. Then it turns into an S&M drama. It's not the usual cartoon leather-bound costume play. It's more emotional and powerful. It's eight episodes. Each episode is only thirty minutes. It's a little odd to have a drama shorten to that length. A few things are a bit off-kilter in this show. All in all, this is a fascinating short binge. The story doesn't seem to have much room to go for a second season unless Jeffrey Dean Morgan leads the Walking Dead gang to look for the diamonds. I'm assuming that this is a limited series.

Some oth4r reviewers have pointed out this show's main appeal is the love story at its center and the psychological games between two of the characters and how unhinged and finally satisfying that is. It messes with your expectations but is handled so well by the writer and the two actors at the center (to not give away spoilers). Also the setting is like a dream with all the ocean waves always coming in and out and the repeating images of the 3 different characters gliding in the pool as the ownership of the villa evolves. I was surprised how fast the episodes feel even when the tangents they take you on are unexpected. Favorite characters: Alba, Batty and Maru. This gets funnier and weirder as it goes along. I would binge season 2 easily.

The story is about a gang who performs a jewelry heist, and while trying to get away, they hide in a beach house,where they are holding captive/hostages the 2 women living there.

The way the events take place in this series, is really unexpectable, but not because of the plot twists. The unexpectable part refers to the characters' interactions.

I didn't know what to expect from this show but for me it was surprisingly pleasant.

In order to recommend it though, the questions here are: Is it enjoyable to watch? Yes!

Is it amazingly good? Well, no!

So, is it worthy to watch?

In my opinion, it depends on what you are looking for.

If you want a short, fun, interesting and kinda weird tv show to watch then you will probably like it.

If you are looking for a realistic and profound show, then just skip it. It does not target this kind of audience.

Generally 6/10.

From the makers of Jett brings you Leopard Skin a Murder Mystery Jewel Heist Romance Thriller starring Carla Gugino, Gaite Jansen, Amelia Eve and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

First of all the filming location is quite stunning and beautiful to look at. I like the cast of characters with each passing episode we learn more about who these people are. Leopard Skin is quite stylized with quirky dialogue. The ending of the show still have a few unanswered questions about the heist. Do I want a season 2 of Leopard Skin? NO! Jett has too big of a cliffhanger to be just left alone so here's hoping Jett will get a season 2.

Not a crime drama in any conventional sense this is a continuation of JETT and that show's style palette of brash colors influenced by film noir and classic women's pictures of the 1940's. Gutierrez knows his way around complicated femme fatales and plays with time, using the jewelry heist gone wrong (itself a noir staple) to get down to the real business he's after: the days and months leading up to the present and the psychological and philosophical quests of the various female characters, especially Batty (Gaite Jansen from Peaky Blinders, astounding) and the director's perpetual muse Gugino (perhaps better than ever).

This is an extremely confident 4 hour movie split into bite sized chunks for the binge generation.

Highly recommended.
