El Escogido

Bunch of nonsense but it keeps you entertained..just finished watching all 12 episodes, not bad although very bizarre.. whoever created this must be on crack but good suspense.. props for entertaining me with this nonsense

Pretty typical horror/adventure series about a small, secluded community that's also a cult. Nothing revolutionary or unforgettable but entertaining enough! There are some dumb plot holes here and there, the female main lead is kind of annoying, but overall is well done.

Premise: strong female lead character (a doctor) thinks she knows better than anyone else. Doesn't listen to her colleagues and inevitably brings chaos to a small commune.

But

It's actually quite entertaining. The acting is good. The setting, camera work, dialogue is good. They throw in a few characters that you instantly dislike. There's a few subplots going on that hold your interest and finally it shows up the fragility of the human condition even in remote spots that don't get visitors and how everything falls apart when strangers turn up. Binge watch season 2 next.

B4 I start a review let me say there are so many reviews that are I guess U.S.centric and I'm American. They need to come here abd learn how to make a thriller blah blah. From the same voices of U.S. shows that lament adnauseum about pc this pc that woke etc,hmm ok.But then this show gets bad reviews not going in hardly any of these directions plus it has a rather unique premise. A Chosen man, a healer in a land where Doctors are trying to at first bring vaccines for a mutated more fatal zika virus. But oh boy that's just the beginning. The acting is very good, the story is original and the setting is great. Season one is good and season two is even more interesting Binge when you can and enjoy this unique series. Netflix out did themselves.

An intriguing/entertaining/convoluted look at the human condition and what happens when one's pride/hubris takes over. Also a look at what happens when lust inspires disloyalty and unfaithfulness to one's partner. When I first started debating watching this show I didn't think I'd be hooked from the first episode. I'm very intrigued by the clash of religious fanaticism with the overzealous drs who all have their own motives and reasons for doing them and finding out that none of them are truly good, moral, upstanding people. Additionally, with current events being what they are, I feel this is very timely.
