Medusa

Medusa is an okay watch-neither outstanding nor disappointing. The lead characters have done a commendable job, and the casting feels spot-on. Each actor fits their role well, making the performances one of the series' strong points.

The storyline, however, feels a bit inconsistent. At times, the plot suggests that a character is bad, only to later portray them as good-only for them to turn bad again. This back-and-forth felt a little off, making it hard to fully connect with the story. That said, the premise is intriguing, revolving around the lead heroine's quest to uncover who tried to kill her. The added layer of her amnesia adds to the mystery.

As the story unfolds, dark family secrets come to light, revealing how far people will go for power. The tension between characters is well-developed, though the ending was fairly predictable for me. I could sense where certain tentions were heading, and the ultimate conflict was expected.

Overall, Mediosa is an engaging but somewhat flawed thriller. It has its moments of intrigue but doesn't quite hit the mark for a top-tier mystery drama. Still, it's a decent watch for fans of family drama and suspense.

This crime, mystery, and investigation series had the potential to be truly compelling, but unfortunately, it falls short due to poor execution. The premise itself is intriguing, and with the right direction, it could have been an intense and engaging story. However, the creators failed to fully explore its potential, resulting in a show that feels underwhelming and, at times, frustrating.

One of the biggest missteps is the casting and characterization. The directors made questionable choices for almost every character, making it difficult to connect with them or believe in their roles. Whether it's miscast actors or poorly written character arcs, the result is a lack of depth and authenticity that weakens the story's impact.

Instead of delivering the gripping suspense and intelligent storytelling expected from a series of this genre, it often falls into clichés and predictable developments. The pacing is inconsistent, with moments that drag unnecessarily and others that rush through important details, leaving key aspects underdeveloped.

Overall, while the series had all the ingredients to be great, it ultimately misses the mark. It's a disappointing watch for those looking for a well-crafted crime mystery, as it fails to deliver on both character development and narrative depth.

Taking a script that looks like Dallas where everyone is stabbing each others, with a rather cheesy soft romance and unnecessary sex scenes that brings nothing to the characters nor the story. Some omnipresent characters throughout the series are one dimension, and don't evolve. Difficult to watch most of the time. The story line doesn't matter any more after the first episode, as no continuity in the story line. Just some random fact pop up like that out of the blue. As I said it feels like watching a series à l'eau de rose from the 80s b production. I watched it in English, so maybe the dubbing was bad. Not sure if it was in Spanish to start with.

In short this show is female centric character named Barbara .. whatever she does is always right this show is made accordingly ..married but..erotic with 50 plus men she is right before accident she has done the humiliantion of humanity within family but she is right..mother missing since 20 yrs ..that time didnt try to find her..suddenly after accident she has become a nice person still whatever she does is right coz its in her favor..Detective is a clown he is also main character ..too much nudity without any logic. In short too many flaws just to show main charactr female right, her husbnd has given his everything for her she has done 50 plus affairs that are fine , husbd done with his assistant..she s saying you cheated me..lol..sometimes it feels how could be so many flaws in the script just to prove her right. Apart from barbara and detective every other character has played good role at the end i would give 1 star out of 10. Very bad execution.

This is a half-baked soap opera with not enough room to fully develop the story and characters, a predictable conclusion and some questionable script choices (e.g. No single redeeming character; maybe because the authors wanted to portray Colombia's elite as selfish and arrogant on purpose?).

Anyways, we really enjoyed the Costeño accent of the series' characters, which is heavy on profanity and regional slang and suits really funny to the cast of mostly white people that generally look very different from true Costeños (most of the actors are Bogotanos or Paisas).

This is yet another example as to why you MUST watch all series on the original language!

My wife is from Cartagena and we enjoyed the series as a challenge of trying to decipher which character had a "true" Costeño accent and who was just forcing it.
