Gli Inviati

This is supposed to be a supernatural or psychological thriller. So many directors just can´t create a suspense atmosphere. They just tell the story.

Actors should at least study a little of padre behavior. A metrosexual, wearing jeans, atheist father; and a gay father. I am strictly talking of the performances, not the actors.

Story is getting complex and I am guessing the end will be disappointing.

Brilliant series that needs a second season. Great acting and scenario. At the same time, there are many criticisms towards the actions of the religious elite. A must watch !!! One of the best series I have ever seen.

This does not sound very promising on paper: character-driven thriller about a pair of priests investigating alleged miracles in rural Mexico. But those two priests are multidimensional (the more religious one is trained as a medical doctor, the more skeptical one as a canon lawyer) and their interactions are snappy and mostly heartfelt. The rest of the cast is largely unremarkable but this 'dynamic duo' and a fairly tight plot, without frills or holes, manages to keep us interested. Said plot is nothing to write home about, but gives them time to shine and packs a few twists and turns. Unfortunately, once fully revealed it seems a little overstretched and the last two episodes are bogged down with Latino melodrama (lots of tears and handwringing, poorly acted dilemmas, perpetual dramatic music, etc.) On the whole it is a decent piece of television, and a relatively nuanced (if not terribly accurate) depiction of Catholicism.

Not scary as the trailer suggests it's more of a thriller whodunnit and a Catholic propaganda, production value is impressive, the places feel lived-in and authentic.

Episode 1 did well to pull me in, it's decent until the last 3 episodes which is a bit messy and has a little too many twists

Ending will be divisive but I like it.

The second season has English as the original audio so the subtitles are only in Spanish. The English dubbing does not match the actors personalities and talent. Although I don't understand the show when watching it in Spanish at least I can enjoy the show. I prefer watching the show in Spanish instead of the obnoxious English dubbing. The relationship between The Envoys is absent with English dub, which is the heart of the show. I don't a season 3 if they're relying on American English speakers as the dubbing makes it unbearable to watch. I enjoyed the 1st season and I'm happy it is still available with the original Spanish audio track.
