El jardinero

It's a romcom with a serious darkness to it. A show that explores many shades of love maternal, romantical and even extramarital. The magic is the story's ability to keep the viewer uncertain on taking sides. A drama that examine the complexity and possessiveness in relationships between traumatized souls. Acting was sincere and emotional. Biggest highlight was the fresh background music. Great sound and visual effects. Though it ends in a bittersweet cliffhanger there's many major indications about a return. And for anyone who wishe to enjoy a TV show with a highly unqiue theme, Gardener wil be a perfect choise.

It was one of series who I wished to see. Starting from the point than I will like it. And, indeed, I liked it. For what I real expect - dark connection between a young man and his mother - the rings, the moments front to photo of her late mother, the dream about house from Mexico are great good points- and for connection of young Elmer with plants.

And , sure, the source of their prosperity , starting with radical reaction of boy to protect his mom, becoming a business.

I repeat, the only significant part was, for me, the romance between Elmer and Violeta, fake at whole. But, sure, the perspective of director matters. And for me, the good part is substancial.

In short, charming dark story.

This is an interesting story and the acting is solid. However, all of the characters are so selfish that I did not enjoy it very much. I almost wish they would all be murdered as it would be very satisfying from a karmic perspective.

The actress who played the mother of the garden, as well as the actress who played another mother in the story were brilliant.

I kept wanting to attach to one of the characters as my protagonist, but one by one they failed the personality test. It goes back to each one, not seeing any goals beyond their own. Disappointing when it could've been so good. I learned the trigger was a good fertilizer.

Don't expect some deep insight into mind of a emotionally detached serial killer. This is not Dexter or You, this is something else. A serial killer who kills for money and who, due to childhood accident, can't feel emotions. And of course falls in love with a wrong woman, causing a series of events that threaten to upend everything.

This isn't a masterpiece neither in terms of script, acting, camerawork, plot..... but is fine enough to binge when you have a craving for something different than standard fare.

Some would complain that movie doesn't really have a "good" character, all principal ones are flawed in some way, some are just more willing to admit it. But in a movie about serial killer can you really have such character?

Again another great work from Spain on Netflix.

It begins good and finished with an open end sequel possibility. All the actors did a respectable job here and the characters were well developed.

I liked that there weren't too many people involved and the story was clever constructed with a good mix of high tension and suspense. Except one point that I cannot spoil here. But who cares, it is just a series and if you can look away from this main flaw in my opinion it works like a Hitchcock thriller. I mean, I guessed several times what comes next and it was even creepy sometimes. All the sceneries were well chosen to develop the perfect atmosphere and I have to congratulate all the staff. Check it out. 7/10.
