Prófugos

I don't even remember how I found this series. It is set in Chile, a country that I have visited five times. Chile has without doubt some of the most beautiful landscapes on earth including Torres del Paine National Park. This park is the setting for the series finale. In my opinion, and I have been in all 50 US states, all 7 continents, and in more than 100 countries - Torres del Paine is the single most beautiful place on earth.

If watching extreme violence bothers you, don't even think about watching this show. If gratuitous female nudity is offensive to you - ditto, don't watch it. If watching how unbelievably corrupt governments operate - ditto again.

The casting for the show is awesome, and the acting is over the top. It is way better than Breaking Bad, Narcos Mexico, Ozarks, Money Heist, etc.

Thank you HBO Latino for 26 hours of the best television I have ever seen

This is a fast moving, exciting series but one that is unfortunately poorly produced. The audio and camera work is terrible and most times one is unable to hear much of what is being said, and see what is going on. The camera work seems to be handheld and at times is similar to smartphone quality. The plot is confusing in that the characters are not well defined and one has no idea who some of them are, or their role in the series. Telling the story in a less rushed manner would have made for better continuity. Choppy editing and random placements of scenes also contribute to a lack of continuity and linkage between events. Overuse of flashback scenes at the wrong times is distracting. It's not at the level of other series of the same genre e.g Narcos, El Chapo etc., and to enjoy it one has to suspend belief and not try to analyze the actions. Just go with the flow like you would in a movie of this genre that is filled with lots of gratuitous violence and sex!

Season 2 was much worse than season 1 and was thankfully the last of this very poorly conceptualized and produced series!

Made in Chili. But top fiction worth the HBO quality label. Strong acting. Fantastic camerawork and photography. Recommended.

You may not have heard of this show if you don't speak Spanish. Profugos is an exciting adrenaline pumping series filmed for HBO Latino. Profugos, or "Fugitives" has everything fans of Breaking Bad or The Soprano's crave. Drugs, Sex, Violence, Mystery.. it's all there. The show centers around a four guys who end up running for their lives after a botched drug deal. Excellent locations in this original series. The Atacama desert was only one backdrop selected for this heart pounding drama.

HBO did not disappoint their fans with this production. They put together the best talent available in Chile for the production. The end result is technically superb. Personally I have had the pleasure of working with HBO and OC Productions to transform Profugos into English for re-release as "Fugitives" in other countries. There is no doubt that Fugitives would be a huge hit in America. -- Zane Durant

This series has it all, good performances, a lot of action, a lot of tension, adrenaline and also beautiful locations. I think the story gave to make a third season. Of all the Chilean series that I have seen, this is the best and the one with the highest quality. None beats Prófugos. 10 out of 10.
