Pact of Silence

OK.let's admit - it's fun, it's a great mind escape and this show is definitely entertaining and surprisingly - suspenseful and full of twists and turns. It's also a great look into the lifestyle of the beautiful and rich in Mexico City. The acting is quite a Telenovela style - melodramatic, exaggerated and often pompous. It seems that the Mexican TV industry pulled off their heavy guns - all the most famous and most good looking actors to participate in this over complicated and messy plot.

Nevertheless- The storyline is neither reliable nor credible.... After all - 18 Chapters to find your mother, when all you could do is a simple DNA test.

Do not over analyse just enjoy! This Netflix series is pure entertainment, over the top and bizarre plot twists and turns but am massively enjoying it. The cast and clothes gorgeous to look at and this story will keep you guessing. Very easy to binge watch as each episode runs at @35 minutes so before you know it you have watched more than you realise. I highly recommend and am adoring the European dramas and thrillers that Netflix have.

Merely repeating to get the character count - why is there a large such a large minimum character limit?

They never heard about DNA??? The whole plot is ridiculous.

It would have been OK if not for the above. Became quickly a soap.

Overwhelming music, the usual unnecessary sex scenes, this is a trend in all Spanish and Hispanic series.

The protagonist is hateful from the beginning and her vendetta is over the top. She is a psychopath.

All the characters are hateful and easily manipulated. Everyone falls in love and forget about their "mission".

The whole story could have been solved in a couple of episodes...oh but no one heard about DNA!

Ridiculous! The whole plot is ludicrous.

AVOID at all cost.

While I genuinely enjoyed watching this series, I couldn't help but be struck by its uncanny resemblances to Shirley Conran's iconic "Lace.", which was made into a miniseries with Phoebe Cates. From the intricate plot details to the overarching themes, the parallels were too evident to dismiss as mere coincidence. It's intriguing to ponder whether these similarities were intentional homages or unintentional overlaps. Regardless, this element of déjà vu did cast a shadow over my viewing experience. However, it's worth noting that despite these resemblances, the series stands on its own merit. The narrative is engaging, and the plot twists are masterfully executed, ensuring that viewers remain on the edge of their seats. The cinematography and character development further enhance the viewing experience, making it a pleasant watch overall. While comparisons to "Lace" are inevitable, this series offers its own unique flavor and charm, making it a worthy addition to any television enthusiast's viewing.

I gave this a 5 because rather than enjoyment it gave me frustration. The series started off well and got me interested, then the frustration started. Brenda is a successful influencer, so could not understand why her character is so stupid. She wanted to know who her mum was. A simple DNA would have sufficed and she could have targeted the woman who gave birth to her. Her devious plan kept hurting people around her and the fact that she kept blaming the others was what kept ticking me off. The writers could have done better job with this soapy drama. Topic was good and storyline intriguing, but somehow went into downfall later on in the show. All in all it was entertaining if like me you love to watch women in nice clothes and living the high end life.
