Medusa

I was looking forward to watching this show because so many of my favorite actors from La Reina Del Flow were in it especially Carlos Torres who I think is one of the best actors of our generation. After the first episode, I thought maybe it will get better on the second one. Another episode with terrible writing and multiple sex scenes to distract from the disaster of a show from beginning to end, just terrible writers and lack of creativity really made this series unbearable to watch. I managed to get to the fourth episode and by then could no longer justify the waste of my precious time on such a poorly made series. Shame because some of the cast happen to be brilliant actors and this disaster did nothing to showcase their talent.

This is a half-baked soap opera with not enough room to fully develop the story and characters, a predictable conclusion and some questionable script choices (e.g. No single redeeming character; maybe because the authors wanted to portray Colombia's elite as selfish and arrogant on purpose?).

Anyways, we really enjoyed the Costeño accent of the series' characters, which is heavy on profanity and regional slang and suits really funny to the cast of mostly white people that generally look very different from true Costeños (most of the actors are Bogotanos or Paisas).

This is yet another example as to why you MUST watch all series on the original language!

My wife is from Cartagena and we enjoyed the series as a challenge of trying to decipher which character had a "true" Costeño accent and who was just forcing it.

Taking a script that looks like Dallas where everyone is stabbing each others, with a rather cheesy soft romance and unnecessary sex scenes that brings nothing to the characters nor the story. Some omnipresent characters throughout the series are one dimension, and don't evolve. Difficult to watch most of the time. The story line doesn't matter any more after the first episode, as no continuity in the story line. Just some random fact pop up like that out of the blue. As I said it feels like watching a series à l'eau de rose from the 80s b production. I watched it in English, so maybe the dubbing was bad. Not sure if it was in Spanish to start with.

When I wanted to watch this series, I quickly realized that it was nothing but a collection of erotic scenes with almost no real storyline. It's as if the creators completely forgot about writing a proper script and just focused on adding as much sex as possible. If you're looking for a substitute for p*rno, this series might do the job, but if you actually want a compelling story, don't waste your time.

Instead of relying on excessive eroticism to grab attention, why not invest in real storytelling, proper character development, and an engaging plot? Maybe then, you'd actually attract an audience for the right reasons. Right now, it's painfully obvious that this was a lazy attempt at making a show. It feels cheap, uninspired, and frankly, a waste of time..

This crime, mystery, and investigation series had the potential to be truly compelling, but unfortunately, it falls short due to poor execution. The premise itself is intriguing, and with the right direction, it could have been an intense and engaging story. However, the creators failed to fully explore its potential, resulting in a show that feels underwhelming and, at times, frustrating.

One of the biggest missteps is the casting and characterization. The directors made questionable choices for almost every character, making it difficult to connect with them or believe in their roles. Whether it's miscast actors or poorly written character arcs, the result is a lack of depth and authenticity that weakens the story's impact.

Instead of delivering the gripping suspense and intelligent storytelling expected from a series of this genre, it often falls into clichés and predictable developments. The pacing is inconsistent, with moments that drag unnecessarily and others that rush through important details, leaving key aspects underdeveloped.

Overall, while the series had all the ingredients to be great, it ultimately misses the mark. It's a disappointing watch for those looking for a well-crafted crime mystery, as it fails to deliver on both character development and narrative depth.
