Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue

Okay. So maybe I am just good at guessing twists in mysteries but I figured this out and knew who the killer was by the fourth or fifth episode. I was just waiting for the finale for it to unveil the way I guessed. It did lead to quite a letdown. I'm not sure if other people guessed what was going on but it took away from the enjoyment for me. There were so many plot holes and unrealistic situations that it became quite ludicrous. The acting was hit or miss, the script not that great. I liked that it was only 6 episodes as any more it would have dragged. I liked the mystery aspect of it but again the reveal was disappointing since I figured it out earlier on.

I was really enjoying this show up until the final episode. The pacing, acting, and twists had me hooked, and I kept thinking the writers had something clever up their sleeves. But then the last episode happened, and I couldn't believe how lazy the reveal was. I genuinely thought they wouldn't go with the most obvious choice for the killer-but they did. And not only was it obvious, it was downright unbelievable. I get that the entire show leans into the ridiculous, but this ending pushed it into the realm of absurdity. The motives didn't add up, the logic fell apart, and it felt like the writers just gave up. I can suspend disbelief for a good payoff, but this was just a sloppy mess. A complete waste of time and potential.

"Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue" is a gripping mystery thriller that blends suspense, tension, and a chilling atmosphere to great effect. Set in a hauntingly isolated morgue, the story unfolds through layered narratives that keep the viewer guessing. The film excels in building psychological pressure, with sharp direction and a script that reveals just enough at each turn. The cast delivers convincing performances that enhance the eerie realism of the plot. With strong pacing and unsettling visuals, it's a cleverly constructed story that explores truth, secrets, and the fragility of perception. A tense and engaging watch from start to finish.

I'm just good at figuring out who it is most of the time, and this was no exception. I pay attention to the build of the killer, body type. There were enough surprises though that I didn't see coming for me to enjoy this series. However, there are some "there is no way they did that" moments that were so unrealistic and impossible. Definitely worth watching though. Despite the unrealistic events, the writers did a good job and making viewers change who they thought was the killer several times. I maintained who I thought it was throughout, except for a twist that even had me second guess myself.

If I'm going to make a series with Spanish speakers, they should speak Spanish. It's a shame that two of the characters who should speak Spanish barely babble it, which is really offensive to those of us who are bilingual and respect their language and expect them to respect ours. Aside from that, the scriptwriter's "idea" was apparently INSPIRED by an Agatha Christie book that was also a film, which is disappointing. I only saw the first chapter and I was outraged by the above mentioned, the cast is normal, highlighting Ólafur Darri Ólafsson (Icelandic actor, star of Trapped) and of course Eric McCormack, I don't know the rest of the cast.
