L'irréel: Incroyables témoignages d'Amérique latine

I gave this series a shot, being a fan of thrills and chills and haunted tales. Each episode is a different tale and Ibfound myself glimpsing more at my phone than the screen. Acting was way below average and no episode had closure. There were also no jump scares nor goosebumps from watching this mediocre attempt of a series. Luckily, it was only 5 episodes. I do not recommend this.

I don't know why this series is getting such bad reviews! I actually really enjoyed it. Didn't think the acting was as bad as some people made it out to be and I found the stories somewhat compelling. What really stood out to me is the cinematography in this series. Yes, maybe some of the monsters looked overly processed and fake but the camera work was done really well. Some of the story seemed a little far-fetched, but I can't sit here and tell you that it was fake because I have clearly never been in these people's shoes. I think this show was a very fun ride and if you don't take it super seriously then I think it's something you may enjoy.

The acting is bad, the script is boring and everything is just subpar. If you're looking for something scary and entertaining, you won't find it here. Don't waste your time with this lame stuff.

Despite the bad acting and super cheesy narration based on the victim and its witnesses looking overly concerned, it was still entertaining to watch and one can't help but to put yourself in the victim's shoes. Better acting and definitely better effects would've made the series more credible. I'd also axe the narration scenes and replace them for a one-on-one based interview with the likes of Unsolved Mysteries.

Although Netflix starts the episodes with "this is a real story", I don't believe for a second that any of the 5 episodes that make this series are anything close to something based on true events. The problem is not that, the problem is although made up, they are rubbish haha.
