Che fine ha fatto Sara?

Interesting 'whodunnit' with the now typical flashback formula. Some decent twists and turns, albeit too "soapy" for the most part.

However, the main issue is just not knowing when to stop, and getting more absurd with each turn, trying to extend the longevity of the show. It would have been far more satisfying with an actual ending, instead of what we got.

Some nice acting for the most part, but it just got too silly and far fetched for its own good, especially throughout s2 and even more so in the ending setting up s3.

First and second season are still tolerable and bit sensible. However why did they even bother to make a third season? It's a sheer disaster. Makes no sense, everyone is just running around the bushes. Very boring. You can stop at second season!

As this Mexican series opens a group of young people having a great time on a speed boat. Sara Guzmán eagerly takes flight beneath a parachute towed by the boat. She starts screaming that something is wrong; her brother, Alex, says that they must stop but Rodolfo, her boyfriend whis is driving the boat thinks she is shouting to go faster... the harness breaks and she falls to her death. It emerges that the gear had been sabotaged... but not until Alex tells the authorities, at the behest of Rodolfo's wealthy father, that he set up the parachute... this leads to him spending the next eighteen years in jail. When he is released he is determined to do two things... find out who really killed Sara and to have his revenge on the family that led to him being jailed.

If you are after realism this won't be for you; on the other hand if you enjoy over the top melodrama it is rather fun. Just about everybody is a suspect at some point and few characters could be described as 'good'. There are lots of twists and turns and key characters frequently find themselves in danger. The plot is revealed in a somewhat non-linear fashion; most of the action takes place in the present but there are frequent flashbacks. Some of these are to events that took place before Sara's death but others are to recent events where we see the events from the perspective of other characters. If you don't like sex scenes in TV shows you are likely to hate this; just about every episode features some fairly gratuitous sex. The characters are all fairly over the top; particularly the dastardly family patriarch and his scheming 'Lady Macbeth' wife. Overall I'd say that this isn't something to be taken seriously but it is fun in an over the top way; I'll certainly be watching season three when we get it.

These comments are based on watching the series in Spanish with English subtitles.

Lots of sex for the sake of it and not really for any part of the story with many a naked buttock thrown in. The story is a bit all over the shop with really bad baddies, some terrible acting (especially the Radolpho character), a dopey "goodie", a gay couple (of course), a curious teenager and an evil mother. It's rubbish but can fill a few hours.

The first two seasons are actually pretty interesting, but are unfortunately detracted from by the dumpster fire of the final season. Characters never develop and storylines rewrite past events with no regard to continuity. Set aside mind before watching. Decent acting.
