Medusa

This is a half-baked soap opera with not enough room to fully develop the story and characters, a predictable conclusion and some questionable script choices (e.g. No single redeeming character; maybe because the authors wanted to portray Colombia's elite as selfish and arrogant on purpose?).

Anyways, we really enjoyed the Costeño accent of the series' characters, which is heavy on profanity and regional slang and suits really funny to the cast of mostly white people that generally look very different from true Costeños (most of the actors are Bogotanos or Paisas).

This is yet another example as to why you MUST watch all series on the original language!

My wife is from Cartagena and we enjoyed the series as a challenge of trying to decipher which character had a "true" Costeño accent and who was just forcing it.

This crime, mystery, and investigation series had the potential to be truly compelling, but unfortunately, it falls short due to poor execution. The premise itself is intriguing, and with the right direction, it could have been an intense and engaging story. However, the creators failed to fully explore its potential, resulting in a show that feels underwhelming and, at times, frustrating.

One of the biggest missteps is the casting and characterization. The directors made questionable choices for almost every character, making it difficult to connect with them or believe in their roles. Whether it's miscast actors or poorly written character arcs, the result is a lack of depth and authenticity that weakens the story's impact.

Instead of delivering the gripping suspense and intelligent storytelling expected from a series of this genre, it often falls into clichés and predictable developments. The pacing is inconsistent, with moments that drag unnecessarily and others that rush through important details, leaving key aspects underdeveloped.

Overall, while the series had all the ingredients to be great, it ultimately misses the mark. It's a disappointing watch for those looking for a well-crafted crime mystery, as it fails to deliver on both character development and narrative depth.

This is simply a story designed to include as many sex scenes as possible of infinite variety. Barbara has just been named CEO of Medusa - a huge company run by her father Damian. We then go on an endless introduction of who everyone in the family is and their position in the company. That should have been spread out to allow the viewer time to assimilate the information. Barbara decides to go for a boat ride alone so as she can lie on the boat and well - make herself happy. BOOM - boat blows up and Barbara is in the water being attacked by two guys - no explanation how they appeared out of the blue. They cut off her finger - that is the end of that - it never tells you why. Back home policeman Danger is put on the case but soon taken off it as somebody doesn't want it solved.

Needless to say he and Barbara soon become lovers. Her husband Esteban told him to watch her - they have been in an open marriage for years so he should have known better. Her brother Cristian is now CEO. Pretty soon the gay element arrives and continues in the form of male and female participants. It seems Barbara was rescued by the leader of an Amazon tribe who cultivated a magic mushroom which Barbara uses throughout - Barbara was in love with her but has forgotten everything that happened before the accident. The story continues with her investigating her family and finding out all their secrets - sexual of course. This series would have stretched to two episodes if all the sex scenes were deleted. To add insult to injury the acting was pretty awful too. It takes all twelve episodes to unmask the killer when it was pretty obvious from the beginning whom it was.

Not recommended.

To be honest I started this series being excited, as I've never seen something like this particular plot, but as the plot was unfolding, I realised I was forcing myself to watch it. Although I love mystery, suspense and crime, the series became tiring to watch. The endless sex scenes were not adding to the show, the unlikable characters were making it hard to enjoy and the end was unnecessary confusing. I think that 1 season might be enough, and a closure should have been given. I even considered some scenes cringe as well. I would say that this series had potential, but ultimately left me disappointed.

When I wanted to watch this series, I quickly realized that it was nothing but a collection of erotic scenes with almost no real storyline. It's as if the creators completely forgot about writing a proper script and just focused on adding as much sex as possible. If you're looking for a substitute for p*rno, this series might do the job, but if you actually want a compelling story, don't waste your time.

Instead of relying on excessive eroticism to grab attention, why not invest in real storytelling, proper character development, and an engaging plot? Maybe then, you'd actually attract an audience for the right reasons. Right now, it's painfully obvious that this was a lazy attempt at making a show. It feels cheap, uninspired, and frankly, a waste of time..
