Mil Colmillos

As a television product itself is well done. Filming in the jungle is not an easy task, episodes are way too long though. Directing and acting is not the best but is not awful. Photography and VFX are good but not prosthetics, all guts look fake. Direct sound is deficient, often you can't understand what the actors are saying (even if you are a native Spanish speaker) and as an original idea well, the title of this review says all: we see this before a lot: Sending a platoon on a mission to kill a drug dealer is same old story, to top that the creatures in the caves are pretty much the same as in "The Descent (2005)". . . So, meh! Production Company Rayhuela Films copy themselves, they already made a movie called "El Páramo (2011)", again with a troop of soldiers in the middle of nowhere that find some kind of witch. So double meh!

This had so much potential, started up fast paced, with 2 storylines that so far have not really intersected. It has great atmosphere, it looks great, the acting is great too.

But then, then they start stretching the story out so much, you could have a much better series, more condensed and fast paced if you take out at least two chapters worth of just nothing thay just had to have on screen. We are just finishing this to see what happens, but to be honest we are no longer watching, I'm literally on my phone right now writing this and plan on getting a drink after, won't stop the series, please just end already!

I was a bit sceptic when i saw the bad reviews. I took the gamble, and it was worth it! I almost binged watched till episode 5. So don't be scared and just watch. Allthough it is a little bit scary ;). A mixture from Predator with fast paced Walking Death.

Fast forward first class action. Great score and editing. No melodrama at character building. Feels like it was done with real jungle commando survival guidelines. Amazon backdrop is as real as it can be as experienced by south americans in Colombia or Brazil. Tropes? Yeah, it'a flick aftera all, but not the usual pop culture wiki catalog archetypes.

Overall its worth a watch, but i have mixed fellings about this show, sometimes it borders on brilliance, other times its so confusing and almost surreal.

Its got great actors and acting, great location/scenery, some great moments of impending dread and some great action.

The pacing and story are a bit wierd tho, it showed some stuff i just didnt understand why it was there.

It also suffers from the characters making some really dumb tactiacal descisions.

The ending was very unsatisfying, it leaves you guessing alot, which some may like, i would of liked atleast some explanation on some stuff.

Defiantly deserves a watch if you like isolated location/ horror type stuff.
