Diary of a Gigolo

Pretty essential (and a bare minimum) when your show is about a gigolo, that the intimate scenes are electric, sensual and erotic.

That they are not.

Even the chemistry between the lead characters is def not there. That's partly a directors fault cause lacking chemistry can still be bettered by quality directing and editing.

Well, and so there's everything else about this show that's just poor quality: script, dialogues, storyline, editing.

It's just another cheap miss by Netflix. The priority nowadays seems to be making shows on a budget, and not striving for quality anymore.

Cause this is not quality. Sorry, to the actors.

What a terrible show! The overacting is too much! The lead character is as beautiful as he is a terrible actor... The lead actress is distracting with those huge implants and the cheap sex scenes are ridiculous... The supporting female character.. Julia.. Is as plain as can be... No emotion shown... Nothing saves this terrible show... Please skip it if you can.

Was hopeful that Adriana Barraza's performance would save the show... No... It doesn't... Her performance is again overacted and like a completely caricature.

Though the sets are appropriate to the story... The writing is terrible! Netflix needs to put quality first.

This story of a sexy Gigolo quickly turned into a murder mystery story. The best thing about this series is the lead Jesús Castro's blue eyes and his 1989 BMW 325i convertible (LOL). Really there was nothing to get me addicted to watching it - as a matter of fact I kept switching to other series' and then coming back to it. I kept watching since I always finish everything I start and the Gigolo winds up in the center of the murder mystery. Winded together in this mystery is the Gigolo, his faux mother (a madam that rescued him from escaping from an orphanage and a crime and turned him into the Gigolo), her daughter with whom he was having an affair, his clients, his main client Ana, Ana's daughter who he fell in love with, Ana's father - all have reasons to kill the the one who got murdered (don't want to give it away). So in the end, I was surprised to see a shocking twist that was worth watching to the end (real killer was divulged).

Bad to be considered a miniseries, mediocre as a soap opera.

Limited performances, flat script, stereotypical characters. The best thing about the series is photography, but at times it leaves a lot to be desired.

The plot has several sharp and predictable twists.

The most uncomfortable thing about the series is the protagonist's accent, which is inconsistent and forced.

All this encouraged with explicit sex scenes that do not add anything to the plot beyond the second episode with the sole purpose of showing the bodies of the actors.

A rather forgettable product in the line of the latest Netflix productions.

This series kept me engaged throughout every episode. They do a really good job of character build up, and the chemistry between Emmanuel and Julia was obvious throughout. All of the episodes move at a really good pace, nothing drags out too much and questions are answered in a timely fashion unlike other series, where it takes forever to get to answers and by the time you get there, you just don't even care about everything in the middle. This was not like that at all!

I love the fact that Victoria White's character had a natural beauty to her, she wasn't some eye candy like you see in female leads in many Latin American and Spanish productions. I'm an American, who watches a lot of Latin American in Spanish series and movies, mainly because American filmmakers and production companies just aren't putting out high quality content lately. This series was very very good IMO!

It's official they have canceled the series so we won't see a season two but they did for the most part wrap at the end so you might be left with 1 question - What is the outcome of the main characters following the last scene? BUT, it absolutely does not end in a cliffhanger.
