El marginal

This twisting and turning drama inside an Argentinian prison is a feast of everything about human drama, from pathos to open brutality, and it does not miss a trick within the episodic plot developments and every new character introduced. And if subtitles turn you off then you do not realise what you are missing. The acting is superb throughout, with no one allowed to have so much as a bit part, the whole is visually and aurally superb.

The main themes are compelling, soaked in their own tensions, and attack you from many different directions before meeting, often by way of a new twist. It is genuinely adult viewing but rewards you with a memorable experience leaves you in no doubt you want a second season.

Is it better than Breaking Bad? You'd be silly to try and separate them.

Highly recommended.

I watched this due to a recommendation, as I'm not usually interested in prison drama. This is anything but. The characters, plot and script are amazing. As is the acting and direction. I binged the whole 5 seasons in a fortnight, as it's that good. It also has the most unique ending of any series. I'll say nothing more, other that watch this series!

The show takes u deep since the first seconds of the show, all the tension, the horror, the suspense, the fights, the chats, everything is perfection! we need more shows like these! it was amazing, excellent cinematography, places, acting, writing, original fresh and unpredictable characters, and the most important of all, AMAZING AND ORIGINAL PLOT! something 99% of shows fail to give these days, being all so so similar with so similar characters!

Just finished watching season cinco. I've loved this series. It never slumped. The final season (especially the last episode) satisfied me in all the ways I needed to be satisfied. It's very rare these days for writers to achieve this feat. Game of thrones, Villanelle etc (we all know the culprits) went out with fail-fare.

Can Antin get a spin-off, por favor.

I gave 8 stars instead of 10 because there were some revenges that weren't dished out. (I hope they are, in that Antin spin-off)

Well, the Mexican series as more black humor but it is also a copy of this show. very recommended. probably watch this one before the Mexican version. lots of characters . worth a 8 at least. ------------------------- season 2 as a slight different atmosphere and it is a good thing!

I wonder if season 3 is going to be as solid as 1 n 2 , I really hope so.
