Fugitiva

Where to begin. Put 'Magda' in a wardrobe of crummy hoodies so she won't stand out in an upscale, highly populated tourism venue where she has gone to hide out, give her three wretched, entitled, snotty kids that you can never care about, give her a husband that she keeps running back to after he beats her and makes her life a living hell, and have her horrible kids keep disrespecting her and running off in all directions like a hormone-driven herd of cats, and top it off with a selection of mercenaries promising to help her that any fool would send packing, and what you have is - what? - ten hours of "We can't leave without Pau!!" and "We can't leave without Ruben!!" over and over and over until finally - LEAVE ALREADY!! El stinko supremo!!

The acting is solid and some characters are very interesting, but the actual story is mediocre at best. A bunch of annoying and glaring plotholes along with a pace that alternates from slow to too fast. The show didn't captivate my attention at all from the first episode, but it does get just slightly most interesting as the show progresses. The premise seems to imply a thriller, but this show is most certainly a drama. I believe there is an audience out there for this show, that some people would love this kind of dramatic and all-over-the-place storyline, but it's just not the kind of show I was expecting to see.

Not worth a review. Series is one long B list movie with a bunch of B list actors and an unbelievable story. I bowed out after 3 episodes.

I watched all episodes of this series in two sittings for it was so captivating that I couldn't wait to know what happens next. Interesting story though stretched over so many episodes unnecessarily. I have absolutely no problem with this series, all the actors performed well, I am introduced to Spanish culture and locations and I just enjoyed watching Fugitiva

A thriller with good and bad displayed in nearly all the characters. Nothing is straightforward and the plot appears contradictory. But its strength is that it is unpredictable: the good characters struggle through the crisises and unlike many plots they don't often come out on top. This isn't a thriller following Hollywood lines. If there is one message that comes out of the show it is that there is good and bad in all of us, It is worth watching for its intensity and characterisations but don't expect a satisfying hollywood type resolution.
