Holy Family

This show is one of the few shows I've seen in Spanish and I must say it is very good. I didn't know what to expect but the cast is amazing. Every character is absolutely believable and all in all just great actors! I love how twisted this show is and that you constantly get surprised. I felt the pain of the characters and the desperation in particular scenes. The love scenes were perfectly paced.. very tasteful and touching. Also since I'm a 90a kid - I love the whole vibe!! I usually get bored easily with Netflix shows but this one I binge watched the first season in one day!! Couldn't stop!

I find that this movie has an unconventional narrative structure, marked by abrupt or blunt transitions between present and past actions that seem a bit awkward. What truly stands out is the acting, especially Najwa's who is incredible. Even if the characters have an exaggerated, overly-dramatic role, in my view it only adds-up to the story construction.

I consider the scenography was quite interesting too, with meticulously crafted sets, attention to details, well-thought camera angles and the music chosen complemented nicely the scenes, enhancing the dramatism or emotional impact.

I fear it will be difficult though for the second season to rise to the same level, but I look forward to it.

Having made mistakes in the past, there is no way to fix them, all you need is a gun, a knife, or an irresistible desire to forget everything. The film shows plot interweaving in the style of Pedro Almodovar. The film is about the fact that the mistakes of family life can be corrected only by criminal talent. It is impossible to keep the past in the present today's life. He just needs to be killed. Which is what several families do, whose lives are tightly connected by a criminal past and family secrets. In the film, the characters are not divided into good and bad. Depending on the situation, everyone acts only as it is beneficial to him at the moment. Son and daughter can kill mother. Mother can kill everyone. And nothing can be fixed. You can only kill the past in the literal and figurative sense. Cold-blooded and merciless, for the sake of his family, profit and future. This is today's reality.

I was looking forward to this series, amongst other things because of the two actors from La casa de papel, which I liked very much (except for the last season). Unfortunately, Sagrada familia turned out to be a great disappointment. I was tempted to quit after the first couple of episodes but forced myself to continue hoping it might become better. But it became only worse. A totally incoherent script with shallow characters acting often randomly for reasons unknown and an inexplicable if not stupid finale. Such a waste of time.

I rated it with a 3 only because of one villain character played by Alba Flores that was somewhat digestible.

First, the show is really good, I finished it in 2 days, its so addictive you can't stop watching.

I liked the central topic and how it showed us the moral dilemma that mothers face. The main idea is to examine the link a mother forms with her child.

The main character here can be seen a villain, caring mother, criminal etc. But I sorta understand her pain, losing a child is always hard and accepting it can be even harder. But the question is how can a mother that lost her child do the same to another mother?

Wouldn't it be the same suffering?

Also, the actors are great in their portrayals, the atmosphere is also pleasant, I liked how it is set in the 90s.

So, a good show that asks important questions and lets you find your own way of answering them.
