Diablero

This is an ok show, definitely worth watching but please do not believe the ridiculous 10 star ratings!

I would also recommend you watch this in it's native Mexican language and enable sub titles (this is an option on Netflix).

That avoids having to watch the show with the dreadful English over dubbing.

I also think Giselle Kuri (Nancy Gama) is excellent.

Not bad. and very entertaining actually. Acting is very nice and it keeps you kind of hooked until the end of the season. I really enjoyed it

First, and just to get this off my chest, for the reviews that say the show is poorly done and that the acting is poor, all I can say is that they are wrong. Everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion, but to say the show is not well made is simply not true. All facets of the film process, leading up to the visualized result, range from good to extremely well done. Same goes for the acting. The only place this might be debated is when dealing with characters who have eccentric qualities that could be mistaken as such. So...if someone doesn't like the content, theme, choice of personnel, or other facet of the series, that's fine. But to say it is poorly done is simply untrue.

Second, I had no idea what to expect when I started the first episode, other than I enjoy occult themes and had seen a couple of teasers. I did not read any reviews nor was I privy to any early work on the Diabolero storyline. All I had was a quick teaser and a love for occult themes. Needless to say, they hit this one out of the park, for sure, and while there are certainly aspects I would have done differently or preferred to see done another way, I thoroughly enjoyed the entire season...blasting through the entire thing in a single day.

A couple of notes on content:

• if you're looking for blood, gore, and violence, this isn't for you. While there are elements of each, as the show is aptly rated for mature audiences, it is not a blood & gorefest. The fx are well done, though not perfect.
• sexual situations and nudity are sparse, so if you're looking for a good romp or exploitation piece, this is it for you.
• fans of Mexican cinema, the occult, witchcraft & shamanism, and otherworldly character content should enjoy this.

Definitely hope this is picked up for a second season.

I'm just starting the first episode, and it looks good, but the English dubbing is making it feel cheaper than it is. I'm writing this review before finishing the first episode to point out it's not necessary to listen to that dubbing. Just hover your mouse pointer over the icons on the bottom until the option to turn on subtitles comes up. For me, it was the 3rd icon from the right and looks like a square with lines representing writing and a small angled triangle on the bottom to make the whole icon look similar to a square dialog bubble from a comic. Two columns pop up, and the one on the left lets you select the audio. Choose 'Spanish \[Original\]', and it will automatically choose 'English' in the subtitle column. Of course, there are several other options in both columns.

A must watch! I hope Netflix picks it up for a second season.
