Disque Amiga para Matar

I was sucked in within ten minutes. Brilliant acting and plot twists. I am always a fan of Christina Applegate, but Linda Cardellini SHINES! THOUGHTFUL, KIND AND HONEST. Enjoy the binge! Thanks NETFLIX!

Usually if I see Christina Applegate I'm already on board (have a soft spot for her since the "Married With Children" times) but damn she nailed this character, she shines in this role brilliantly! She absolutely owns every scene, floored me in the extra emotional scenes, such an underrated actress! She's so strong as a lead that for me the only properly competative actor on her level seemed to be (to my surprise) James Marsden and Brandon Scott. Great pacing, great story, great directing and acting and overall really great show! Highly recommend!

So...loved the show. But I have seen reviews of people who dislike it because it's too much "like grace and frankie" and other reviews of people who LOVE it because it is "like grace and frankie "...all of these people are wrong and it makes me think they didn't watch the whole series. Do not go into this expecting grace and frankie for the gen x generation...this show is much darker,the sense of humour is much more dry, and the subject matter is way heavier....I love both shows...but other than the fact that they both involve 2 women who live together after circumstances brought them into each other's lives, they have nothing in common. Go into it knowing it isn't a GandF knock off, and you will enjoy it much more.



Edit: season 2 is even crazier and funnier! Some of the plot is a bit far fetched but it's easily overlooked and even accepted because The two leads are AMAZING. The chemistry they have together is a huge part of why this show seems to work so well no matter what is going on.

I'm five episodes in and I'm actually enjoying it quite a lot!

Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini are just great. The show is original, funny, witty but suspenseful and even deep at times.

I've seen other people compare it to Grace and Frankie ( but darker), and I see the resemblance as both are comedies based on the friendship of two women who could not be more different from each other, but for some reason its atmosphere keeps me thinking that this is probably somewhere near where Santa Clarita Diet was going ( but sadly failed).

My only concern about this show is that the plot may not be able to stretch for more than a season, maybe two, but let's see what happens. Other than that, if you like dark comedy, give this a go!

Up there with 'Fleabag' season 1 in it's genius. What appears to initially be an awkwardly dark comedy, slowly metamorphoses into a twisted conflict of ethics, dilemma and delivered by the most liberating performances from it's two leading ladies. This show will clear out at The Golden Globes. Who to choose? Applegate or Cardellini?

Do not start the Pilot unless you have 6 hours to spare. You WILL binge.
