Ingobernable

I haven't seen the English subtitles, so i am not sure if the few bad reviews are from people who read a poor translation, or just don't get it....but this show is great! The action, the drama, everything! Disagree with the bad acting comment. This show's characters are well developed and multi-faceted. If you like exciting thrillers, especially if you speak Spanish, you will probably love this. Also... this isn't "Mexico trying to be the US." That kind of US exceptionalism perspective is so limited, misguided, and uncultured (sorry)....and appears to be based on a stereotypical viewpoint of how people in Mexico should dress/act. I can say that this show is definitely Mexican, and definitely a fun watch.

Ignore the bad reviews! This very well written, directed and cast. This was not shot in Mexico, and I impressed in how well the locations were choose. The acting in really good. The plot is decent and crude. Some pleople will say it's exagerated and unrealistic, but in Mexico worst things are happening. Kudos for Kate del castillo and the makers

I really enjoyed season 1 of this show. Sure, there was the usual overacting, but several actors turn in a decent performance. There was a lot of action. Season 2 is Weak!! They must have phoned it in because I was very bored. It is too bad.

I only saw the first season, I just won't watch the second. The series reminds me a little of 24, but only a little.

Action and moments of tension are the best. That kept me going.

The worst of all are the very long sex scenes combined with very important action scenes, stupid, and also with a terrible background music.

This ended up convincing me not to see the second season. Unfortunately the action did not seem enough to continue watching.

Ingobernable is a superior show. It follows a serial format with short seasons that are popular today. I watched two seasons over the course of a couple weeks, and I loved every minute.

The First Lady of Mexico finds herself in the midst of intrigue that is illustrated by the dichotomy of the corrupt and powerful and those who live in fear and fight to be treated with dignity.

The characters are well written and three dimensional. Each episode is fast paced.

There is something about Spanish language production that have really made me a fan. They commit to the story, and go for it.

Kate del Castillo leads the ensemble cast. She was in the Telemundo production of La Reina del Sur, and again delivers a strong performance.

As First Lady, Emília Urquiza, she wants to fight corruption in Mexico that plagues the life of the innocents.

There are twists and turns, heartache, friendships, loyalty and betrayals.

The production values are stunning. Sets include a presidential palace and desperate neighborhoods.

Even if you need subtitles, it's worth watching. I noted there were complaints about the subtitles. Not every sentence spoken in one language translates well to another language, but the subtitles serve the story well.
