Prófugos - Auf der Flucht

I don't even remember how I found this series. It is set in Chile, a country that I have visited five times. Chile has without doubt some of the most beautiful landscapes on earth including Torres del Paine National Park. This park is the setting for the series finale. In my opinion, and I have been in all 50 US states, all 7 continents, and in more than 100 countries - Torres del Paine is the single most beautiful place on earth.

If watching extreme violence bothers you, don't even think about watching this show. If gratuitous female nudity is offensive to you - ditto, don't watch it. If watching how unbelievably corrupt governments operate - ditto again.

The casting for the show is awesome, and the acting is over the top. It is way better than Breaking Bad, Narcos Mexico, Ozarks, Money Heist, etc.

Thank you HBO Latino for 26 hours of the best television I have ever seen

This series has it all, good performances, a lot of action, a lot of tension, adrenaline and also beautiful locations. I think the story gave to make a third season. Of all the Chilean series that I have seen, this is the best and the one with the highest quality. None beats Prófugos. 10 out of 10.

This is a fast moving, exciting series but one that is unfortunately poorly produced. The audio and camera work is terrible and most times one is unable to hear much of what is being said, and see what is going on. The camera work seems to be handheld and at times is similar to smartphone quality. The plot is confusing in that the characters are not well defined and one has no idea who some of them are, or their role in the series. Telling the story in a less rushed manner would have made for better continuity. Choppy editing and random placements of scenes also contribute to a lack of continuity and linkage between events. Overuse of flashback scenes at the wrong times is distracting. It's not at the level of other series of the same genre e.g Narcos, El Chapo etc., and to enjoy it one has to suspend belief and not try to analyze the actions. Just go with the flow like you would in a movie of this genre that is filled with lots of gratuitous violence and sex!

Season 2 was much worse than season 1 and was thankfully the last of this very poorly conceptualized and produced series!

Made in Chili. But top fiction worth the HBO quality label. Strong acting. Fantastic camerawork and photography. Recommended.

What a fantastic bunch of actors brought together for this show, it is the most adrenaline fueled, addictive series I have ever watched. So much excitement, the writers and producers did a fantastic job making this series, hopefully there will be more!
