Le Secret de la famille Greco

Very engaging, nice screenplay. Thrilling in parts. I normally wouldn't binge, but this one kept me going.

I read about the actual events that had happened after I watched the series. I think the filming is brilliant.

The characters especially the patriarch had so many layers to his personality. How he is confident on his getting his own family involved. It is mind boggling.

Well done by the director - The way some of the events happen, the happy ones and at the same time the cringy ones provides a view on brutality of a simple suburban family members. Not sure why is rated so low. Would recommend this one to my friends who enjoy thrillers.

I wanted to give it a try despite not "feeling it". Now I can't write a review about the story itself. I couldn't finish it. This is a very boring show with scenes so long I almost felt asleep. Also, it's vey sloppy in the execution with many situations that don't make any sense, and the characters are beyond unlikable, immoral and gross. It's supposed to be a true story, but it looks implausible. Such despicable people. I tried to like it, but I gave up after the first episode and a half. And I lost my time watching it. Sorry, but it's how I feel. I can't understand the positive reviews, but to each their own I guess.

One star is too much, a twisted plot far from the real story used to create dark scenes that makes you realize that is not worth watching.

Colunga deceives with a terrible performance. It is indignant how utilizing christian symbols to ruin catholics reputation, details that were never part of the real story. It is obvious that there was an intention to derogate religion.

I did not finish. It is disgusting, inmoral and in extreme disrespectful. Colunga must be desperate for money when he accepted this character. This my second review as the one I submitted before was never posted. I hope my opinion is now shared.

The actors were great.. the story was intriguing except for the fact that the main character was not a cop but an accountant. If you're going to change things up and reference the series on an actual story that did occur, don't do it on the main character. Would've been more understandable if the father was an accountant as the real story said. Stop trying to go with the "bad cop" story line because it takes away from the story...Again, Fernando Colunga was awesome, one of my favorite actors growing up watching in the novelas my mom watched. If you're on the wall about watching the show give it a try.. you'll be hooked.

This story has great potential. The fact that this is a true story and the character of Aquilles is played so brilliantly had the bones for a captivating series. My only critique is that this series moves along as a slow paced drama where each kidnapping takes 3 eposodes taking 9 episodes total. The whole series could have been summed up in 6. Get into the action of each kidnapping in episode 1 and sum up the carnage in episode 2.

The characters are held off at arms length through 3 long episodes with about 10 minutes of dark twisted action at the end of each episode. If they had concentrated on this malevolent Aquilles and allowed you into his dark twisted mind you might actually get to know this evil crime lord with more nuanced layers where you might actually feel some level of pity for this nasty crime lord. The series had alot of characters just kind of moving around talking. This series could have honed in on this tragic monster, allowing you into this evil control freak mind and summed up this series in 6 concentrated episodes, but this dark twisted tale holds you at arms length with 9 drawn out episodes and never really draws you into the action. It's as if you are watching it from a distance. The Aquilles character is brilliant, but the length of the series falls somewhat flat and never really draws you into the action. It has the potential to be an amazing dark noir tragedy, but comes across kind of just okay like a drawn out soap opera. It's worth the watch for the brilliant character of Aquilles alone, but just something to kind of put on in the background. It never really sucks you into the dark twisted mind of that which is the true tragedy of that which is Aquilles.
