Far from being a criticism but I am not finding this 'drama' to be played out at all seriously. The characters are hilarious in their total disregard for any sense of shame. Only half way through but shocked to see it categorised as a drama.

A portrait of the world we currently live in, represented in soccer, but may apply to any government or corporate relationships. Fun and entertaining.

Very entretaing serie. Shockingly you learn about the millions of dollars the FIFA manage and keep the change. A big problem with the audio will though you off, the music plays in the background louder than the actors speak.

The story is interesting and entertaining. It provides some shocking facts about the people involved in this scandal. There are brilliant performances and the comedy works well. However, it's disappointing to note that 90% of the events are fictitious. At some points in the story it makes no sense and is hardly believable.

It's an overall, great and fun watch... I am loving IT 100 percent recommended

I cannot help myself, but everybody outside the US, calls it football, but subtitles call it soccer. Even the organisation, like Chilean National Soccer Association, is actually The Football Federation of Chile. I was thinking, why did not rename FIFA to FISA. :D

I'm loving every minute of it. Compelling story, dark humor, amazing performances. You don't have to be a soccer fan to fully enjoy the story. The BEST show from Amazon Prime Video so far.

Excellent! Andrés Parral as usual is a master and gives his Best in this character. Very well done! As south American and football lover I say this show is a MUST SEEN.

Some great character writing combined with strong acting

After episode 2, I had to force myself to finish this series. That should tell you a lot. As a chilean, I was very excited to see what would they do about the "chilean things" that are very special for the characters, and honestly they did some good things in the art direction (decorations, set production) and the main Sergio Jadue actor, Andrés Parra, does a very commendable job in recreating the real guy's accent, though sometimes his real way of talking comes out and it takes you out of the experience. Also, the very badly done makeup looks incredibly fake on Parra's character; very distracting.

But the top awful acting award goes to the actress that plays Jadues wife, wich is aboslutely unbeareble. Everything is exaggerated, talks uncomfartbly close to other characters and the chilean accent is outstandlingly bad.

The other main character is the FBI girl/storyline, wich is poorly made. It is never explained how she got there. We only have glimpses of her background, but is not enough and badly done. Her language skills, though, are outstanding as the actress speaks english and spanish very well. Her acting, on the other hand, is not good and you never buy the whole FBI thing.

Now, about the story, plot and script. Well, it is ugly bad. I mean, it retells very important recent facts of corruption in its own way, without ever deciding if its telling a true story or a fictional one (only in the latter episodes some things are clarified, but I say this lightly). Some episodes indicate high money numbers, or other kind of numbers, but you cant never know if it is real or not because it is suppusedly a satire and it never quotes anything. It is so very strangely and frustratingly told, it never quite makes sanse and it is barely informative at all.

About the soundtrack. Well, the music sounds like it was bought from a website of royalty free tunes. Awful. And very badly implemented. It never causes emotion or suspense or anything. Absolutely bland.

Now about the editing. Without being terrible, transitions are not very well done, not giving much space to introduce other topics and some bits are left unexplained while passing on to other plot points. It is here that a combination of script and bad editing leaves you wondering what kind of story they were trying to tell. And if it is a funny one I never ever laughed.

There are also some quality control errors, like a scene where Jadue is shown writing on his cellphones that Chile passes on to quarter finals in the 2014 WC. Thats wrong, Chile went on to play Brasil in its home territory but never in quarter finals. It was in the last 16s.

All in all, don't waste your time in this series. Wait for a proper doccumentary.

I love this series. What else are you going to watch in this pandemic?

I'm a girl and I don't care about FIFA or football, but this series is EPIC. The actors have done a brilliant, wonderful job. Best acting I've seen a long time. I liked it so much, that I will rewatch the whole series after one week of finishing it. I watched it in original language and it was music to my ears. Never boring, excellent series. The fact, that it all happened, is an extra point as well. Marvellous. Just marvellous.

7,5 of rating??? Parra making in Amazon all that he worths on the "El patron del mal" ? (Hi netflix) This series shows the real busines behind the football... I kwnow that Bo saya that is a parody... mmm let me doubt of it Just watcht it

If you are a football fan and willing to know what's happening behind the curtain of your favourite football tournaments - must watch.

This is a great script with hurting fans...its behing the soccer world, the unseen truth. The main character Sergio jaudeu is the best played by the actor.

First of all: GRANDE ANDRES PARRA!!! Incredible his acting and how he not just acted but became Sergio Jadue! Watch the original videos and interviews with the chilean ex-president on youtube and there is no difference! Sure there are some little plotholes with the FBI-female but all in all its still a great watch and a must for football fans.

Also the second season thats about the beginnings of the FIFA and the life of Joao Havelange is very entertaining, interesting and well done. And there are a lot of hidden messages, that were told, some funny metaphers and all in all a great watch. Albano Jeronimo does a perfect job and its really enjoyable, letting the hopes for a season number 3, maybe about the bettings, VAR or so money other things behind the curtain of one of the most corrupt companies of the world.

This is disrespectful to everyone in Chile. It's a shame, this is not a drama.

Why does this otherwise excellent drama about the long standing corruption in FIFA based on the experience of one Latin American FIFA member need dubbing and to make it even worse English subtitles that don't bear a close enough relationship to the dubbed script.

We all know that the history of the most popular game in the world - from the cobbled streets of Caracas and the exceptionally clean streets of Vienna, to the barrios and nooks and crannies of Cadiz in Andalucía Southern Spain, the barrios of Santa Cruz in Sevilla and all the way to Napoli, Potenza Bari & Lecce, is about big money and crooked noses.

Even in the streets of Palermo, Catania & Ragusa in the face of anti Mafia posters a football is always being kicked.

Dubbing is awful for whatever subject fiction or non fiction is makes the actors look fools.
