Red Queen

I've watched two episodes so far and I'm enjoying it. She appears to be a female Sherlock Holmes to some degree. Not sure because I'm still getting back ground information to see where she got this ability or if she just has it because of her very high IQ. She's assigned to work with a fat, gay detective that at first, they didn't get along very well, but as the show progressed the relationship is getting better with moments of comedy, sarcasm and concern on how the other is treated by others . Fast pace, not boring as something is constantly happening. Whether it's a new clue, new kidnapping, murder, you can't go wrong by watching this.

I don't like adaptations, from books, comics, games to series or movies, they always differ from what my mind has imagined and they don't let me and I am not able to enjoy them.

Red Queen scared me a lot, I was very reluctant to see it for fear of seeing what I found, of destroying the novel, the plot, the characters.

Matching or surpassing the novel was impossible; They are neither my Jon nor my Antonia, but you love them anyway. Brilliant/delirious moments like the one with the potato omelet make it unique.

As I said, it's not the novel, but you can't miss it. Looking forward to more Gómez Jurado's universe on the small screen. LOBA NEGRA YA!!!!

I am Spaniard so I was really excited about this one. I really loved to write a good review about something well made in my country like "Antidisturbios" for example. So, consequently I started to watch this based on a successful best seller. But I was wrong thinking this will be great. I am not sure why the hype of scoring this production as a 10.

First, the story is full of cliches, predictable and certainly boring. You can predict almost 95% of the story without reading the book.

Second, the acting seems forced and full of cliches again. Sometimes it looks like a soap opera mixed with Matrix and Saw. Terrible. Even the lead woman does a great job, sometimes is annoying because of her dialogues.

Last, the stereotypes here again are forced and nothing to do with the reality from my country. People from Vasc Country speak Euskera not like here a d*mb invented language.

Anyway, I do not recommend this series if you have watched similar ones. Boring, predictable and not clever. Even the stereotypes are wrong.

Its Amazing! I have seen it all in one go and it is a perfect adaptation of the book. Tension, intrigue, humor... everything necessary to make the series enjoyable. The actors do a great job, and have managed to capture their characters perfectly. The production of the series is also noteworthy, being one of the most ambitious in the author's country of origin. We must also highlight the soundtrack, which has been made by one of the most prestigious musicians in Spanish cinema, and which sounds very good in the series. All this makes it a television show of the moment and essential viewing. And remember, don't tell the ending.

I've seen the series in one sitting and to say I loved it may be an understatement. Very good adaptation!!!

It is always risky to adapt a successful novel, with many followers, but the result has been much more than satisfactory. We love Antonia and Jon very much for their adventures in the novels and in the series they have been very well characterized.

Well-chosen locations, good production, it shows that every detail has been taken care of, even the actor who plays the Control Assistant does a good job.

I hope I don't have to wait too long to be able to enjoy the adaptations of the next two novels.
