Diario de un Gigoló

Bad to be considered a miniseries, mediocre as a soap opera.

Limited performances, flat script, stereotypical characters. The best thing about the series is photography, but at times it leaves a lot to be desired.

The plot has several sharp and predictable twists.

The most uncomfortable thing about the series is the protagonist's accent, which is inconsistent and forced.

All this encouraged with explicit sex scenes that do not add anything to the plot beyond the second episode with the sole purpose of showing the bodies of the actors.

A rather forgettable product in the line of the latest Netflix productions.

Years ago, this would have been a straight to tape piece of junk, the movie where you fast forward to the sexy parts. Even then it wouldn't have created a stir. Today, it is still tedious and stupid, an unbelievable plot, dimly lit and filmed in some anonymous city. I still recommend using the fast forward button, but be careful, the sexy stuff doesn't last long. It might be good for practicing your Spanish. The actors are all unknowns, most with the anonymous, dark-eyed good looks of a soap opera star. A kid from an orphanage escapes the cops through the efforts of a madam who supplies sex partners to lonely, rich women. Although the kid looked way too old to be stuck in the orphanage, he learned to sport a tux, grow one of those persistent four-day-old beards and become popular with the older ladies. You can easily fill out the details. One episode was far too much. If I missed something important in the rest of the episodes, I apologize. Just about anything would be a better use of your time.

What a terrible show! The overacting is too much! The lead character is as beautiful as he is a terrible actor... The lead actress is distracting with those huge implants and the cheap sex scenes are ridiculous... The supporting female character.. Julia.. Is as plain as can be... No emotion shown... Nothing saves this terrible show... Please skip it if you can.

Was hopeful that Adriana Barraza's performance would save the show... No... It doesn't... Her performance is again overacted and like a completely caricature.

Though the sets are appropriate to the story... The writing is terrible! Netflix needs to put quality first.

A bit over dramatic in parts, but I found the one shocking thing after another happenings believable and fitting and Drama 101. The woman who played Mitou also played the maid in Babel. She really unabashedly gives her characters her all. I'll watch for more of her work. Lots of pretty men, no complaints there and always visually pleasurable. Ana, too, was a bold portrayal. I didn't think the woman who played Julia was the right fit chemistry-wise for the Emanuel character, but this wasn't an award winning series, rather just a kinda pay attention, somewhat entertaining one. Once was enough. An ok, "Who done it."

This series kept me engaged throughout every episode. They do a really good job of character build up, and the chemistry between Emmanuel and Julia was obvious throughout. All of the episodes move at a really good pace, nothing drags out too much and questions are answered in a timely fashion unlike other series, where it takes forever to get to answers and by the time you get there, you just don't even care about everything in the middle. This was not like that at all!

I love the fact that Victoria White's character had a natural beauty to her, she wasn't some eye candy like you see in female leads in many Latin American and Spanish productions. I'm an American, who watches a lot of Latin American in Spanish series and movies, mainly because American filmmakers and production companies just aren't putting out high quality content lately. This series was very very good IMO!

It's official they have canceled the series so we won't see a season two but they did for the most part wrap at the end so you might be left with 1 question - What is the outcome of the main characters following the last scene? BUT, it absolutely does not end in a cliffhanger.
