Leiterspiel

Having an inside look into the wealthy society of Mexico, for the first time a production of my country takes place in another location of Mexico out of the capital city, Guadalajara. The cast was perfect, all of the actors and actresses, specially the lead one, make an exceptional work in portraying their characters and making them enjoyable and in ocations, funny. Combining the satirical-comedic-dramatic- and political genres, the series capture a very good aura. It also has a good soundtrack and a very well-included social diversity. It was also refreshing to see familiar faces like Benny Emmanuel, Loreto Peralta, Michelle Rodríguez, Marimar Vega, and Luis Felipe Tovar, as part of the cast. A very good Mexican production. If you don't have any kind of social prejudice, I recommend you to watch it.

I only became familiar with Cecilia Suarez and Juan Pablo Medina, in La Casa de las Flores, possibly the series which in my opinion formally introduced Mexican productions to the rest of world, especially to us here in South Africa.

Seeing Cecilia Suarez and Juan Pablo Medina working together again since House of Flowers was well needed!

The producers of Snakes and Ladders, went and added Marimar Vega! I only recently started seeing her work too. Pact of Silence!

3 powerhouse performers. I think that the production team have gone and created, thee Dream Team!!

We need more from them!

I will definitely be hoping for a second season!!

This director and writer always does the same thing, Use homosexual scenes to convince his frustrated lifestyle. He want to be the new "Almodovar" but always fails, he always makes mediocre and unfunny things, nor does he fulfill the objective of the genre he wants to make.

Most of the acting feels fake and I don't think it's their fault, but rather the film's director's.

Having great actors who have had good reviews in these movies or series are a separate issue and they do it so differently, they don't look comfortable.

I hope it improves over time, because it has had opportunities in America and Europe.

Sometimes, my heart wants something exciting and fun-no serious drama or deep thinking, just happy times. That's what "Snakes and Ladders" on Netflix is all about. This show is a lovely way to relax, wrapping the audience in comfort like a warm blanket and telling you, "Don't worry, this is just going to be fun!" I adore watching it in Spanish. The Mexican comedic style is perfectly executed, and the cast is very good. If you don't speak Spanish, don't worry-it's dubbed and subtitled in multiple languages.

"Snakes and Ladders" is genuinely entertaining. Picture adult insecurities, awkward dynamics, and ambitions in a vibrant cocktail and served with a knowing wink. That's the essence of the show.

If life has been overwhelmingly serious, like every moment is laden with existential questions, consider "Snakes and Ladders" your ticket to unwind and simply laugh. It is the ultimate form of escapism; sometimes, that is all your soul yearns for.

The series is a kind of audiovisual salad: it kicks off with a premise that very suspiciously recalls Le Dieu du carnage, which Roman Polanski adapted for the screen in 2011 as Carnage. Its aesthetic and characters feel like the offspring of an unlikely Wes Anderson-Pedro Almodóvar collaboration-especially channeling the madcap spirit of Almodóvar's Los Amantes Pasajeros. Yes, it's entertaining... until it isn't. By the end, the tone shifts so abruptly that the final episode feels ripped straight from Luis Estrada's personal archives-pamphleteering included. It's as if the first few chapters were built with genuine care, only to tumble headlong into a forced, hurried conclusion.
