La piloto

Well, this is telenovela after all. I've seen a lot of show that are, well, just bad, and this is another show overflowed with drama and unrealistic events. And yet somehow are showing a good action and, let's say a decent storyline (not really, but...telenovelas, so let's go with that). Some of the actors are quite good and known from earlier work, so I guess that kept me going. The show is not bad at all, I like it to some level, but in some episodes there is just TOO MUCH drama. Watchable, but ugh!! Yes, but ugh.

This novela is so stupid and ridiculous novela i have ever watched

hello too much drama

I know telenovelas are borderline cartoonish daytime lunacy, but this goes beyond ridiculous:

Ex 1) "We've come to search for a baby" cop in scene looks inside a box and another inside a bookshelf

Ex 2) A: "we know you ran her over" B: "it was accident, even though she's my friend I thought it wise to leave her on the ground" A: "oh okay, I trust you now. Let me tell you where our hideout is"

I know telenovelas are dumb but seriously this is insulting.

Then the overuse of flashbacks had be fast forwarding every 5 mins. Can't the writers come up with better ways to recap a pivotal bit of information. Actors looking out into empty space to set these off became ever more annoying!

I can go on and on.

Save time and do or watch something better than this visual garbage.

Too much drama and unrealistic events. A soap opera rather than a Narcos type of film. The story behind is good but the producers just ruined it by making it a novella focusing on appearances rather than the truthfulness behind the story.

I watched the estreno of La Piloto II and I was disappointed because of some ridiculous details that left me shaking my head. Supposedly Yolanda Cadenas is in a Witness Protection Program yet she keeps her first name, Yolanda, and is fairly easily found by Lucio's lawyer. Really? I'm pretty certain the Witness Protection Program won't let you keep your same first name and it's unlikely that someone will be able to locate you with an online search.

It also was absurd that Yolanda, the pilot of the airplane, leaves the cockpit and becomes borderline hysterical in front of the passengers just as the plane is descending to LA while the copilot tells her to get back in the cockpit. Pretty sure that it was decades ago that something like that might have been reasonable to imagine could happen but not in 2018.

The fact that Yolanda could actually get a job as a commercial pilot, having been linked with narcos and drug traffickers, is pretty much fantasyland stuff too.

I really enjoyed La Piloto and I understand it's a novela and not supposed to be "real", but at least try to give some credibility in the details and storyline. Definitely not a stong start which is unfortunate.
