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!!

I'm not a reviewer and don't pretend to be but, I tell you I loved this series; I had to binge watch it. Good story, good acting, some good twists, good suspense. OK, there's some dramatic license but so what, it's a story f'Xs sake. The kids are awful, sure, but then they are meant to be: spoilt, stupid, rich brats, get over it, hate them and love the drama. The people who give this story a bum rating have lost the ability to suspend belief and enjoy a good yarn. BTW it's way better in Spanish with subtitles than it is dubbed in American, which just doesn't come off. You have to try to get into the culture as well as the story.

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.

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.

Yes, it's more drama-esque, but stick through the first couple episodes and it gets interesting. Also definitely keep it in Spanish. Dubbed versions are always terrible.
