High Seas

An amazing telenovela! The plotlines are outrageous, the costumes are stunning, and the acting actually pretty good.

I thoroughly enjoyed this show. The cast n the mystery solving was on point. If you're a sucker for dramatic/romance cliche Spanish soaps then this one is a good one :)

No masterpiece here but entertaining watch. A few good actors, nice costumes & decor. Recommend as an easy binge.

I just finished season 1 tonight. The show is so great that I stayed up all night watching. I only wish I had season 2 to watch now. I loved the fact that it was dubbed in English and the story is amazing and so full of intrigue. Even though at its heart it is a mystery it is also a story of love, family and friendship. As a period drama the sets, costumes and acting were wonderful. I loved each of the individual character stories. But like I've said, I really can't wait for more.

I don't know how they achieved the look but they have these wonderful glowing colours through the show, sometimes blurring slightly which also adds to the effect. Nice dark shadows too.

The influence of Art Deco is there in the ship set designs and maybe the clothes too, all of which are stunning.

And the story and acting: I must say I don't find it off-putting like I do nearly 95% of the British-American-Canadian-French-Indian and other productions. Basically, I cannot watch hardly anything that comes off Netflix or Hollywood today. Maybe this Spanish series is getting something right.

I'm into the third episode, so unlike what someone said, the first is not the only good one, imo anyway. So while, the plot etc. Is nothing radical it's far from the worst Netflix series, and far far ahead of the others. It's not reliant on realism, randomly shot, quick shaky camera, Euro Cannes style film making which irritates with its total pretension.

In short, beautiful, easy to watch, while not really insulting your intelligence or emotions.

I only saw Season 1 and that was enough. I wasn't watching for the twists which actually put me off. It's not like I want to keep watching a series till the end of time.
