Triada

So reading the synopsis, it kind of made me think that this series might be modelled on the male triplets in the states that were born in 1961, separated through an adoption agency and not until a chance meeting at a college, two of the three were eventually reunited, leading to joining the third male.

So Becca a forensics expert whilst attending a crime scene comes across her identical self, the storyline is far more complex than I anticipated, but it made it in some parts very entertaining.

The individual characters played by Maite Perroni were well performed and really gave you an excellent perception of each role has they went through each episode.

However, although the story is complex and has it moves on you get to understand how the lives of Becca, Tamara and Aleida came to be how they are, the scriptwriters must have felt that viewers may find this all a little dull, so throw in a sex scene or two along the way.

Humberto, Becca's colleague, the stud, as you find out later in the series, has the moral compass and stature of a borderline perverse male model, talk about taking advantage, again later in the series all is revealed.

5/10 good storyline overall, not easy to watch at times.

Potentially good story, but only average execution. First episode e starts strong but then the story slows down. The plot still develops in the next 5 episodes, but just to slow. It is further slowed down by pointless erotic and other scenes that last way too long and contribute nothing to the story or the plot. Acting is average and at times just over the top. Some scenes are confusing as it is not exactly clear where or when the happen? Memory? Dream? Connection?

Camerawork and photography are decent but not special in any way.

The theme as such has so much more potential than is displayed in this series. Watchable, but be prepared to fast forward pointless time-killing scenes.

The premise of the story, without giving spoilers, is based on true events. More accurately, *similar* events. But enough to inspire a genuine twisty plot that leaves you both feeling enthralled and satisfied. Naysayers that reviewed it poorly simply don't have the intellectual capacity to connect the very spelled out dots and need to have every detail spoon fed, so don't let that dissuade you from watching it. It's a worthwhile mini binge for sure. It was a good time that had an ending that was modestly predictable (only reason I didn't give 10/10) but wrapped it up in some unexpected ways. Definitely enjoyed it.

As this eight part Mexican drama series opens a woman forces her way into a building, shoots and injures a few people, then takes a doctor hostage on the building's roof. The police surround the building and the hostage taker is shot. A forensics officer arrives at the scene and is shocked to see the injured woman looks just like her, and addresses her by name. She soon learns many facts about herself that she didn't previously know... she was adopted and is actually a triplet. As she tries to learn more about her origins she finds herself endangered by those who for reasons that later become apparent, want it to remain a secret.

I thought this was a solid enough series although the premise will have anybody who watched 'Orphan Black' suspecting that this would turn out to be a Spanish language remake. Thankfully it doesn't take that route and gives us something different. There are plenty of twists and turns, some more obvious than others and a good degree of tension. Somewhat inevitably things do get a bit melodramatic towards the end. Maite Perroni did an impressive job as the three triplets; each of them was distinctive in appearance and manner. Overall a decent enough series that I'd recommend even if it isn't really a must see.

These comments are based on watching the series in Spanish with English subtitles.

This is an interesting thriller, stronger at the beginning episodes than at the end. Maite Perroni is fantastic in the lead role, but I wish they gave her something more stable to work with.

The series is a bit disjointed, I don't know how else to describe it. It's like some major scenes were left in editing on the cutting room floor, especially in the last episode. We jump from one situation to another without an explanation in between.

Even the credits claim there was nudity, but I don't recall any. If there was, it wasn't much. Maybe that was edited out too.

And this was filmed in Mexico? Most of the vehicles seem to have Mexican plates. But until halfway through I thought it was filmed in Spain. Everyone looks European, and are dressed in sweaters and jackets for colder weather. A couple scenes show heavily forested hills that just look out of place in most of Mexico. All these things together feel a little odd. But maybe that's what they were going for.
