Harina

This show is funny and worth watching. It's short for a binge watch for everyone. I thought it was going to flop but it's been the funniest show i've watched in a long time. It will only make sense in Spanish and if you're Mexican so i guess it is not for everyone.

This show was based on the most popular sketch ever in Mexico. The writers of the show did an impressive job creating a whole world out of these 3 minutes where we were first introduced to the "Teniente Prieto".

Harina never loses its steam and has it all: comedy, absurdity, action, suspense, and, for my surprise, drama. Usually, comedies like this one suffer from lacking a good storyline relying too much only on the jokes (believe me there are plenty of jokes in here) and losing sight of the character's emotions and arcs. Harina does a great job in both ways: character and plot, comedy and drama.

Highly recommend this show. Hands down one of the best things I've seen lately. A knockout!

Maybe I was not expecting much, but "Harina" surprised me since the first minutes of episode one. I was familiar with the original sketch which originated the whole show, but did not imagine that I would get something so funny, yet touching and sometimes even scary! The writing of the show is amazing and way better than most that are produced in Latin America. Cast, photography, direction are top notch! If you like good TV, you will love this show!

Great cast and great writing! Such a refreshing Mexican production. This series has comedy (lots of it), drama, action, a great plot with insane twists. The lower than usual budget (for such a popular show) is noticeable but If this show had the budget of american series, I really believe it has the potential to be one of the best series out there today. The fact that this is a spin off from a 2 minute sketch makes it even more impressive. The writers did an outstanding job, the plot is solid and the way they can add comedy in the right places without breaking the tension of the thriller genre is top notch. Can't wait for a 3rd season!

Great cast, kind of a good story. The best thing about this series are the satires about the Mexican police and topics such as violence, corruption, organized crime, drugs, and the culture clash between Mexico and the United States. I hope Harina doesn't last longer than it should.

Despite being a spin off of a backdoor sketch, backdoor is a mexican youtube channel, the plot has its own and somewhat original script, since most mexican comedy or mexican black comedy deal with the same thing and they repeat many famous phrases in their scripts.

Mexico has a good potential with its rich culture and its vast number of actors.
