Ingobernable

I upped the rating to counter the 1 or 2 star voters. The show is genuinely not bad at all. Yes, it's full of holes but then it's a Mexican production; it doesn't have the big budget and experience of more popular series.

I binge-watched the entire 15 episodes of series 1 and enjoyed it. If I have any real criticism at all, it's that E15 didn't "end" / tie up the series. The whole thing left you feeling like it had been cut mid-stream, without an appropriate resolution to the series. That is poor writing/production and, hopefully, S02 won't leave one feeling the same way at the end. It's worth a 6 or 7 out of 10.

I really enjoyed season 1 of this show. Sure, there was the usual overacting, but several actors turn in a decent performance. There was a lot of action. Season 2 is Weak!! They must have phoned it in because I was very bored. It is too bad.

First: Good on Netflix for working on decent Spanish shows for the Latino/Spanish language Audience. Second: The general quality if fine. It does feel like a Spanish language "Houes of Cards" / "Narcos" style production. So if you like those, you will probably enjoy this. Third: Ignore the"Overdramatic Cheesy Telenovela" comments. Those comments are by people expecting things to feel like USA English language productions. Apples and Oranges. If speak Spanish fluently, are Latin American or at least know Latin American culture, and have watched sufficient Latin American TV, it presents appropriately for shows of this genre. I suppose the target audience is for Spanish native Latin Americans, not for those watching through USA English style glasses.

Ingobernable is a superior show. It follows a serial format with short seasons that are popular today. I watched two seasons over the course of a couple weeks, and I loved every minute.

The First Lady of Mexico finds herself in the midst of intrigue that is illustrated by the dichotomy of the corrupt and powerful and those who live in fear and fight to be treated with dignity.

The characters are well written and three dimensional. Each episode is fast paced.

There is something about Spanish language production that have really made me a fan. They commit to the story, and go for it.

Kate del Castillo leads the ensemble cast. She was in the Telemundo production of La Reina del Sur, and again delivers a strong performance.

As First Lady, Emília Urquiza, she wants to fight corruption in Mexico that plagues the life of the innocents.

There are twists and turns, heartache, friendships, loyalty and betrayals.

The production values are stunning. Sets include a presidential palace and desperate neighborhoods.

Even if you need subtitles, it's worth watching. I noted there were complaints about the subtitles. Not every sentence spoken in one language translates well to another language, but the subtitles serve the story well.

Ignore the bad reviews! This very well written, directed and cast. This was not shot in Mexico, and I impressed in how well the locations were choose. The acting in really good. The plot is decent and crude. Some pleople will say it's exagerated and unrealistic, but in Mexico worst things are happening. Kudos for Kate del castillo and the makers
