¿Quién es Erin Carter?

I had a suspicion this might be dreadful and after the first episode I hadn't been persuaded otherwise. I stuck with it and started to really enjoy it.

Episode four is where it really starts to get going and from there you're already invested.

Now, I'm not normally a huge fan of the running and shooting and jumping off stuff and fighting action films/series, but I do appreciate the effort that goes into them. I've seen Die Hard a couple of times, it was fun.

For me, this series was kind of like that. You need to sit back and enjoy the nonsense.

Clearly, any normal person getting kicked about several times a day would need a bit of recovery time. Did Bruce Willis ever need recovery time? I don't think so! So why would super badass mom, Erin Carter?!

My advice? Chill out, laugh at the ridiculousness, groan at the terrible dialogue, suspend your disbelief pretty much all the way through, and just enjoy it!

Oh, and can I say thank you to whoever decided to have the protagonist run around in sensible shoes and not four inch stilettos all the time? I mean, you want realism? There it is.

Anyway, I hope there's a second series. That's how much I enjoyed it!

It is not as bad as I had read in the comments.

Obviously it's not the best series in the history of television, but I don't think it tries to be.

It's true that it has elements that are not very credible, but it's entertaining, and who expects a fictional series to be credible?

It is clarifying little by little the questions that it raises at the beginning and many scripts do that, so I don't think that is a defect, but a very common dramatic resource to maintain the interest.

I've watched it all the way through without any effort, while others with more fame I haven't made it past the second chapter, or the second season.

It's not one of those that makes you sad to see it end, but I think it fulfills its role of entertaining.

And that's why I rate it with a 6/10, because without being good it's not boring.

As I stated in the description, this show is very difficult to review. I gave it six stars because it's worth more than 5. This is one of those shows that some will like and others won't. Hollywood has already gotten me accustomed to tiny little women beating up everybody after getting slammed around and then knocking them out. Unrealistic, yes, but par for the course for the last 20 years or so. For me though, the story started out a little too slow for my taste. It wasn't until halfway through the fourth episode that it finally got interesting, which is why I rated it so low. It's a loooooong slow buildup to the finale, which is rather anti climactic. Not as bad as the Game of Thrones finale, but pretty danged close. I'll watch a second season if they film one, just to see where they take it.

That's not something I can say often. This show is constant tension, action and plot. The series feels a lot longer than it is without ever feeling boring. One episode feels like half a season. On top of that, the series is also decently funny and has some lowkey clever moments. Evin Ahmad absolutely shines as a Brit and an action character and her kid not looking like her at all makes sense this time (unlike Snabba Cash).

The largest problem I see is the handling of the backstory. Too much becomes hinted at too obviously too quickly, making the mystery around Erin's past less intriguing and preventing the series from having the emotional edge it's going for.

But I don't care, this is one of Netflix's most entertaining, substantial and well-paced productions I've seen.

She's a badass, that's who she is!

I ignored this for a few days because I thought this was another dubbed Netflix series which seems to be flooding the place lately.

I'm glad I gave it a go though, it was good. Erin Carter gets caught up in a Spanish supermarket robbery. After a tussle with one of the perpetrators he recognises her as 'Kate'.

As the title suggests we then see who Erin Carter really is.

There's nothing groundbreaking here, we've seen other series with similar plots but this ran smoothly, was never really boring and kept the audience guessing.

It's seven episodes with a running time of around fifty minutes per episode.

A solid seven out of ten from me.
