Juntas hasta la muerte

This show had me hooked from the first episode. If you can stomach the multiple themes of miscarriage, birth, suicide, drugs, alcoholism and murder; then it's a brilliant story. But it's certainly not easy to watch. What I liked the most was the way it accurately portrays modern capitalism and the lack of humanity that billionaires have towards women's health and healthcare.

It also touches on the very sad but real subject of motherhood, wether is chosen or not. It also shows a very real picture of pre/postpartum depression, miscarriage, death at childbirth and family trauma from all these subjects.

The cast is perfect and each character is played flawlessly. As others said before me, Rachel Weisz certainly deserves an award for her amazing performance.

I genuinely am baffled by the low reviews here. They seem to stem from those disappointed by the remake of the original movie so I'll start off by saying I've never watched nor heard of the movie Dead Ringers, so went into this completely blind. Rachel is absolutely fantastic playing the two opposite twins with a complex and at times, questionable relationship. The show is dark yet with sprinklings of comedy, the characters are prickly, and the storyline's are sometimes shocking and overall leaves you feeling like you've seen something you shouldn't have and wanting more. I've only watched ep 1 but I'm hooked and can't wait to devour the rest of the show.

After reading 90% of the reviews I wonder what the hell, everyone else is watching that I'm not. The biggest complaint on here, is it's not the same as Cronenberg's. I'll be the 1st to admit that Cronenberg is God and everything he makes is a masterpiece. This shouldn't be compared to that. It's a REMAKE. As in, similar story beats from a different perspective. This was wonderful and I DO agree that Rachel Weisz deserves every accolade for her performance. I gained a lot of respect for her after this series that I never had before. I mean, I knew she was good, but WOW! The little nuances in body language and facial contortions that define the twins is astonishing! Great series! Don't listen to the ghost of Ebert who trashes all genre films and series. 100% worth your time!

I am a big Cronenberg fan, and I am very familiar with the original Dead Ringers. I will not compare them since this is a reimagining- but I will say they really are extremely dissimilar.

This show looks great, and Rachel plays the parts extremely well. The practical effects are SOLID- lot's of blood but I can imagine how it would be too much for some with all the graphic birth depiction. That being said- the show can be very hard to follow. It's all over the place, jumping from place to place sometimes from time to time with no indication. They are also introducing new characters all the way up to episode 5 (there are only 6). I think it could be a bit more cohesive. Yes, I do understand that is the point- it's supposed to be disorienting and the twins are supposed to sometimes be indistinguishable, so maybe you'll see it differently than I did.

Don't compare it with the original, just watch . I think it's quite fascinating. But it jumps to much from one scene to another. Rachel Weisz is stunning in her performance. She's making it easy to see two sisters. The story is acceptable and the way the portrait women as strong women is ok. What I don't understand is why they switch so much in between scenes. I lost the story more than once. What the hell is the role of the housekeeper and why are there so much dialogues that I don't follow or don't understand. But then again, the story is acceptabel and I keep on watching. Those of you who rate after one episode or even less. Get out!
