Le indagini di Belascoarán

One of the best Mexican TV series I've seen. Characters were nicely relatable and varied (especially women! So nice to see that!), although some side characters were a bit stereotypical, they were played in warm & at times humorous but not over the top way, resulting in some laughs. Story line was good and kept my attention well and I loved the way 1970s was portrayed so vividly. Also the portrayal of police corruption vs the ordinary hero protagonist was such a refreshing take compared to Hollywood "copaganda". Definitely recommend this to anyone interested in crime, Mexico, 1970s fashion and culture or good TV over all!

With the English dubbing it came across to me like one of those American 1950's detective shows where the main character narrates as well as acts. Difference being it's modern and Mexican.

I'm not sure how much comedy is intentional and how much is due to the English dubbing.

So far each episode which is lengthy is a different case.

Stories aren't overly original but other than the obvious cliche they seem to avoid them.

Cast is good, acting is ok.

Unlike other Mexican and Brazilian series it's not a soapie and isn't slow paced at all.

To be honest I hadn't planned on watching but it came up on Netflix and was glad I hit play.

More a 7.5 than a 7/10.

My first thought: Oh dear, a crime series from Mexico. And then I was pleasantly surprised. Exciting, with the right pinch of humor and imaginative. And with really good actors.

Yes, you can also produce good series away from Hollywood. At least under the aegis of Netflix. As already proven by Narcos.

Hector Belascoaran Shayne, a well-heeled engineer, quits his job, leaves his wife and tries his hand at private investigation. And his first case is a vicious wife-killer. Not quite new the story of the first episode, but well interpreted.

The atmosphere of the series, set in the 1970s, is also appealing.

This is a Excellent Series, Good storyline and fresh ideas A bit quirky yet interesting, You will enjoy each Episode an each gets better than the last one. I hope that a second season is already in the works , Because it truly deserves another season . You watch the character develop into a good Detective and solve cases that the police completely ignore and make any attempt to solve. Naturally corruption is envolved in a case that gets solved. You will truly enjoy watching this series and look forward to each episode and want more. A second season is a absolute must , So put pen to paper and get started on a couple of new seasos.

A cookie -cutter murder mystery made for the American audiences. Some gore, some drama, an oh-so-good guy, an oh-so-corrupt policeman and, of course an oh-so-gorgeous (and brave!) girl. The evil guy is also extremely stereotypical.

Of course it is on Netflix - and the quality of films on Netflix is continuously going down.

South American cinema has so many gems, but Netfilx chooses just the ones that don't require much thinking. (As a matter of fact, low IQ seems to be a requirement for Netflix films.) I have been fooled again by high IMDB ratings and glowing reviews. Don't waste your time with this mediocre film.
