Faute de preuves

For the people like me who love Spanish thrillers don't listen to the bad reviews!

I don't dissect a film into smithereens, I just go by the emotions and feelings I get out of it.

The acting was excellent, I see no problem with any of the actors , the main character actually reminded me of Ann Bancroft lol, even the same mannerism, RIP Anne.

The landscapes were beautifully filmed.

The plot started out with you thinking , oh I know what's going on, but step by step unravelled. Every time you thought you knew the ending , nope, there comes another twist. I like this kind of narrative very much I guess that's why I gave this film 8 stars.

I can completely and without hesitation recommend this series!

The script and idea were promising, with good potential to create a gripping story. However, the poor editing and very bad performances turned it into a confusing and slow series that failed to maintain engagement. The lack of pacing, awkward scene transitions, and uninspired acting made it frustrating to watch. What could have been a compelling thriller ended up feeling disjointed and tedious. The atmosphere and setting had promise, but the execution fell flat, making it difficult to connect with the story or characters. The dialogue felt unnatural, and the tension never fully developed, leaving a disappointing final result.

Don't pay too much attention to the negative comments directed at the main protagonist. In fact, the character's impulsive and misguided decisions are essential to the narrative. They're not flaws in the writing - they're the very foundation of the show's message. These choices drive the plot forward and force the viewer to reflect on the consequences of acting without thinking, of rushing into things with blind conviction. It's through her errors that the story gains emotional depth and tension, ultimately delivering a powerful moral. There's a lot to take away from this show in terms of personal growth, accountability, and the complexity of human behavior.

Aside from those criticisms I've seen, Caught is a visually stunning production. The performances are solid across the board, with the actors bringing a raw authenticity to their roles. The cinematography is beautiful - every shot feels carefully composed, and the natural landscapes are not only scenic but also contribute to the atmosphere of the series. The music, for the most part, complements the mood and tone of the scenes perfectly, adding emotional weight where needed (though I did find one particular scene a bit cliché in its musical choice, but that's a small detail in an otherwise well-curated score).

Overall, Caught is much more than just a mystery or drama - it's a layered exploration of consequences, ethics, and the fine line between truth and manipulation. It may be uncomfortable to watch at times, but that's exactly what makes it worthwhile.

What a disappointment! I don't understand how anyone can give this series 7 stars.

The theme is incredibly important and strong, one of those I like, but it quickly turns into a confusing kind of soap opera with a terrible main character. I'm talking about Ema Garay, the journalist.

She leaps to conclusions far too quickly and makes terrible choices. She doesn't seem to worry about the consequences. The subject needs a stronger character, no doubt. And the issue is that pretty fast I had already stopped caring. A protagonist should inspire you to cheer for them. Especially because of the important topic.

As if that's not enough, the storytelling is frustrating and badly edited. It keeps flipping back and forth between past and present, and not in a good way. Rather than enhancing the mystery, it just bogs things down. At times, I didn't care anymore and I was more exhauted than excited to see more.

Not even the performances do much to hold you. If you're a big fan of Harlan Coben's work, you may want to skip this one. Don't expect anything fabulous or exciting.

If you're just seeking for a solid mystery thriller, I will not send you here; best to find something else.

This is another weak Harlan Coben adaptation, and a real bad one.

Investigative journalist Ema Garay is relentless in trying to discover what happened to seventeen year old Martina, an enquiry that leads to some shocking revelations and places her in mortal danger.

It's a good watch, if you're used to The British adaptations of Harlen Coben's books, it will feel very different, not just because of the language or location, it just feels different, maybe a little darker or grittier.

It's a book I read some time ago and all but forgotten, it deals with some pretty grim subjects, some now considered slightly taboo, possibly too controversial to warrant a British production.

Mystery and intrigue all the way, just when you think you know what's going on, you're thrown a curve ball, they definitely make you wait.

I've read some criticism about the central character Ema, but I liked her, sure she's flawed, but that's human nature, she is one dogged journalist, I thought Soledad Villamil was excellent.

It looks really good and I love the setting, Argentina looks so cool, the visuals are strong the whole way through, a real feature.

7/10.
