Mentiras

Such an amateur take on the British drama Liar. Watched it merely for the Spanish as I currently study it but this is painful to watch. Bad acting, aweful writing. Just bad. Avoid.

I loved these series. Captivating story, tension building development through episodes, unexpected turns, great acting. I watched all episodes in one set.

... Spanish thriller drama series consisting of a remake of the British series Liar... called Lies & Deceit on Netflix... IMDb median rating is '7'... and that's about right... well cast & produced, there are some inconsistencies yet overall the show is entertaining... endings for these types of series can be iffy propositions & this one is not altogether satisfying... but majority of viewers agree it is worth-watching.

It is rare that I just cannot finish a series- that too one that only has six episodes. This is the most dull, slow, uneventful and ridiculously contrived show I have watched EVER. I was reeled in by the "preview" on netflix which promised a psychological thriller after a mysterious night.

Spoiler alert (not): there is never any thrill to come. Just a bunch of monotonous conversations, no challenge that the protagonist has to overcome to get her story heard and the sister/ex husband affair is thrown in just for some excitement. But that is stupid too as its obviously added in due to lack of anything else going on.

I liked the series in general, but I did not love it. The positives are the good acting and the photography on an island, the beach brighten up the atmosphere a bit. Despite the unrealism the series is quite entertaining.

The negatives: The feminism throughout the series is enormous! It starts in a very unrealistic way, the police investigating so actively from the beginning? That doesn't work like that, but it's a series and in this case pure fiction. Quite quickly the series begins to decline when introducing the story about the sister, which tarnishes the main theme, and above all it has nothing to do with it, it is only to fill minutes. The last two chapters are totally incredible and ridiculous, but also exciting. In the end you almost hate the victim, Laura, more than the rapist, a gun? Please! You've fallen under!!

A pity that the main topic has not been treated with more respect and truthfulness.
