Estocolmo

I liked the idea of the series but the performance was quite bad, especially the actress who plays Isabel Santa Cruz. A cast with better actresses would make it a great show.

Estocolmo is an interesting Argentine series that focuses on the intricacies of human trafficking. It jumps around quite a bit - from "three years previously" to "three years later," and thus is often somewhat hard to follow. But, overall, it is entertaining. I would have rated it much higher had not the subtitle synchronization fallen apart in Episodes 11, 12, and 13. Basically (and I timed it) the subtitles were either a full minute ahead or behind the "live" voices. With short scenes, this became a real problem - to the point that I was quite confused toward the end. Fortunately, I downloaded it to play on PlayOn off of Netflix, and I was able to jump around, but toward the end I just gave up and tried to make a mental note of the prior scene as I saw the subtitle dialogue. Clearly, those involved in post-production deserve a very black mark, but Netflix also should bear some responsibility. (I'll apologize if someone else has a decent experience and my problem was the particular videos I downloaded from Netflix).

"Estocolmo" has definitely surprised me in a brilliant and positive way. To begin with, it is a series that deals with a theme that reflects a global problem: human trafficking. I personally believe that having audiovisual projects that deal with these social issues is extremely important for our society that is constantly stimulated by these kind of projects. Opening a window for debate is crucial, and "Estocolmo" does so in a very creative and thrilling way.

The plot is consistent and eloquent, and combines successfully the different genres including drama, suspense and action creating a whole different dramatic experience.

Could have been done in six episodes. Very slow moving. Actually thought the acting was quite good but very long winded. Not watching second series.

Definitely give this a chance. Very entertaining with great acting and very fine dialogue. Enjoyed every minute. Don't believe the rating on this one, it is top notch.
