The Inmate

The cast of characters are phenomenal. David chocarro as Santito was a standout and deserves recognition for such a convincing addict and sociopath. I was amazed at his performance and absolutely convinced they Used a real con for his portrayal. His twitchy behavior , facial expressions, mania were spot on.

There are moments where you need to suspend disbelief but the portrayal of the prison no doubt mirrors some reality...hierarchy, gangs, corruption.

Some very brutal scenes, some genuinely funny moments and moments of insight into human nature and the basic good in people who are labelled criminals.

Not a fan of the photography where it seems we are sneaking a peak from behind a shelf or door. Been conditioned to expect something to happen which those shots. Nothing does.

Standout performances by all cast.

Why does everyone compare to casa de papel, it's a completely different story and both unique in their own way. Love the Spanish productions, great talent all around and much deserving of a second season.

Above average nonsense that keeps you watching, despite yourself, manages not to descend into total silliness or incoherence as so many of these shows do. Enjoyable.

Is not better than La Casa de Papel as some people might say. The acting sometimes is very, very bad. The storyline is interesting, but I find it a bit chaotic. Hands down for the actor which plays Santito. He should really make it to Hollywood. And... let's not forget his line: "i kill you with my teeth".

I dont expect Netflix to become HBO (although I wish it did!), but small productions like this justify the monthly subscription. Everything about this show is mediocre, but the pace is good and the actors help along with the script to create interesting characters. It is similar to casa di papel in this way, without the beautiful ladies! Not a bad show to spend your time.

What a classic. However, my classics are: Repo Man, Big Meat Eater, Trailer Park Boys . . . the cheesier the better.

The characters are all brilliant. The lip synching straight outta a 60's Godzilla flick. The dialogue is perfect. Plot tight tight tight.

So much to love. Perfect.
