The Mess You Leave Behind

An average series with good acting, average artificial drama-mystery flow, very good for practicing Spanish and roller-coaster ratings as far as the episodes are concerned. The parallel flashbacks and present events were also developed and presented in a messy way.

It lacks solid screenplay, twists and turn of events, logic and ending. Give that script to Swedish/Danish Noir masters and they would create a series that would keep you glued to the screen while biting your nails.

Arón Piper as Iago and Bárbara Lennie as Viruca stand out above the rest in this one. Liked their charisma and acting.

First: beautiful acting from a high level. You may know Barbara Lennie - the old teacher from the movie Contratiempo where she played a completely different role. This big name in Spain has something magical in her work. She is natural down to the smallest details and knows how to create an attitude that haves something mysteries. And Inma Cuesta is an acting talent. The series is full of intrigue, plot twists and the dynamics in characters make it interesting. In terms of tension and action, it can be called more of a Mystery than a typical thriller, but it is definitely recommended!

Well......this was an intriguing intense thriller/drama centering on a young teachers obsession with a deceased teacher she replaced. It is full of suspense n tension with many twists n turns.

The acting was really good n the characters were full of charisma.

The ending was totally unexpected n unpredictable with a great twist.

I highly recommend this series especially if you like suspense n high drama.

Let me tell you, i watched trailers as many of you, and i was intrigued. But as many TV Series, i was thinking i will stop this quicky. You know, i'm not your usual fan of spanish movies/series.

But here, what impress me the most at the first episode, was the strong acting. Everyone feel like in real life, not overacting and that said a lot to me. As I wanted to see the rest of the series. The theme was good also but it was not what I like at first. The main title... when nowadays a opening of series is like 5-10 seconds with basically the main title and generic sound. Not here, you have a full song for a least a minute, and it gives you all emotion. It's a thriller series, yet, the main title is happy/sad combination of the two.

Bárbara Lennie and Imma Cuesta steal the show everytime they are on screen, so much, that at few times i was kinda fool as to which story i was following. It's brillant.

Based on the novel of the same name winner of the Primavera award 2016. Raquel, a young literature teacher, gives her marriage a second chance and moves to her husband's birth town, which hides a dark secret she will try to unravel.

This series deserves a higher rating than it currently has. It is a storyline with suspense, that keeps your attention. There are some not very well worked out aspects in the storylines of certain characters, but that doesn't devaluate the show too much. I like it and couldn't stop watching. Would definitely recommend (and I'm a series snob). And, for the Netflixers; it's a fresh change from a lot of soap opera like shows from Spain. This is better quality and more Netflix worthy.
