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 a series that clearly stands out. While watching the first episode I realized that it would be a dramatic masterpiece. It successfully blends together the different genres that make up the plot - drama, suspense, thriller - and it does so in an absolutely interesting and creative way.

It also has a clear objective, which would be that of telling a contemporary problem in Latin America: human trafficking, and its effect on media, politics and corruption. Through the plot, the characters manufacture their own relationships in a clever and sagacious way, so that the different themes that prosper in the plot are able to come about and expand.

"ESTOCOLMO". The series starring Juana Viale, Esteban Lamothe and Luciano Cáceres narrates the journalistic and police investigation regarding a people-trafficking network fused with intense and clever romantic components.

The plot involves a powerful and dynamic trio, intertwined by mysteries, blackmail and a clear romantic plot line that surrounds and molds them and their actions. It follows an interesting logic, where each character embodies a power, and therefore is linked to it or suffers from it.

I believe that an interesting point originated from the series' script is to make a point regarding the media and how it works with these important social cases of human-trafficking. It makes the spectators question themselves about the different content present in our daily basis.

"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.

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).
