Barracuda Queens

I feel deeply embarrassed!!! If the first Season 1 could be pleasant and, in its simplicity, even well done, let's say that Season 2 is abominable!!! But who wrote the plot, the author of Beautiful or some Mexican soap opera? Indecent! I refuse to be fooled by these screenwriters and these chicken-catching productions!!! Do they think that the public is all stupid? It's not that the viewers are all teenagers. Unthinkable!!! If Season 1 deserved its good 6, with parts of comedy also pleasant and a basic, real, interesting story, Season 2 deserves a nice 0!!! Let's pretend that I leave the 6, and forget that a Season 2 exists!!!

I went into Barracuda Girls with no expectations, and what I got was an unexpected rollercoaster of humor and cringe-worthy moments that I didn't see coming.

The show features a cast of unbearably mean, self-centered girls who, honestly, could give the characters from Pretty Little Liars a run for their money. And let me be clear: that's both a compliment and an insult. The characters' behavior is as manipulative and petty as it is hilariously exaggerated. At times, you're left wondering whether to laugh or cringe at how outlandish their antics get.

But that's where the charm of the show lies. It's unapologetically over-the-top, and while you might roll your eyes at the characters, you can't help but get sucked into the absurdity of it all.

...got sucked in!

It's not superb, it's not high-class acting overall, but it's fun. Five teenage brats decide to team up to plan a raid to repay the debt they own. The moment it works, they get addicted and decide to do it again, and again, and again.

Although it's not the best acting you might have seen, it's visible that the actors are enjoying it and that all their characters have their own little and bigger problems. It's over the top drama, but the way they present it keeps us viewers watching. The chemistry between our 5 female leads is good and while all their actions can be questioned every few minutes, it's still a nice show to watch.

7/10. The show itself is a 6/10, but Alva Bratt's acting (Louise/Lollo) adds one point. Especially the parts where she plays the psycho is where she shines. Can't wait to see her playing a real villain somewhere.

I typically do not start watching a new series that are only around 30 minutes per episode but somehow I did with Barracuda Queens and that's ok. The language is dubbed not very well but that's ok as well. It didn't negatively affect my opinion of it because I enjoyed the short easy breezy series. In no time I was finished with it and wishing they would have given us a hour long episode when making it. I am from the states and had never heard anything about the girls but we are similar in age. Maybe that plays a role in why I enjoyed it as much as I did. I can't help but wonder how they all turned out. I hope well!

Barracuda Queens is such a fun and addictive watch - you'll finish it in one sitting. The main characters are all so different in their own ways, and their group dynamic feels real and raw. It's not the typical copy-paste girl gang, and you actually believe their personalities. The way they decide to take matters into their own hands and pull off those reckless heists? Honestly, it's chaotic in the best way - thrilling and entertaining. The side relationships give the show extra layers i love it , and the 90s/early 2000s fashion is gorgeous!!!. The acting is seriously solid too. We need more episodes and longer seasons. 2 seasons wasn't nearly enough! Please give us more.
