Silêncio

I don't often leave really bad reviews, but I hated it. Like really hated it. Some people called it a crime thriller, but I just thought the story was surreal, progressed slowly, the end made no sense at all. Well, the only sense it made is that the makers want to do a season 2, but it won't be for me. While he's just smashing things or people for the whole series, his little naive fling girlfriend keeps on spinning between him and the other guy (who is a complete moron) and the psychiatrist is just perverted. Then there's a bunch of bad guys around, but you never really know why and they don't add anything to the story. My advice: watch something else.

I REALLY wanted to like this! I began watching with no expectations, or preconceived notions; other than I usually love foreign, suspense, thrillers and the topic seemed riveting. The first episode was EXCITING and unexpected. But now (and I am 3.5 episodes in) and I am dying a SLOW death of a thousand turtles! I'm not sure if it's the translation, the captions, or what, but even the dialogue is BORINGGGGGG! Perhaps I need to watch it in Spanish. (Maybe THAT will give a different vibe to the show). But, like I stated, I really wanted to like this, but I cannot recommend this, UNLESS you are looking for something to help you sleep. If so, just start at the second episode, and you will have NO problem.

Once AGAIN Netflix is expecting it's viewers to look past their blatant disregard for the tiniest modecum of plain, simple, common sense reality.

The girl fan is let into the obs office.... at the drop of a hat.... like it was a totally normal thing to do during a secret court ordered observation! Breaking goodness knows how many legal protocols.

NOT EVEN CLOSE TO A REAL WORLD Scenario.

And let's just not forget to mention the elephant in the room.... That there just obviously LOADS A MONEY sloshing around the Spanish coffers to pay for a team of what? 4? 5? 6 people maybe? To monitor a guy who has been lawfully released from prison.

NOT EVEN CLOSE TO A REAL WORLD Scenario.

Not only that, but it's a clear as mud as to why exactly they have been given this (splutters) ridiculously generous budget to watch a guy having a f...... shower. I mean... Really?

It's an obvious budget saving move by "Netflix" not to have this set in a normal police station setting, where (for example) a specialist can be brought in and paired with a cop who's really busy - that would be more realistic but oh, I forgot, probably cost a bit more.

So much more to say but let's just end on this, having received said court order / budget-to-go-with-it, they obviously couldn't even afford a half decent outdoor camera to see what someone was holding in their hands.1980's standard at best! Netflix ALWAYS do this kind of thing to create suspense, again, at the cost of blatently foregoing any modecum of reality.

Face palm, face palm, face palm....

It's not what it looks like. The beginning is not indicative of the rest of the show. I agree with another reviewer who said they stretched it out too far. And the character of the shrink was so unbelievable, it's hard to look past it. Seriously, it cannot be overstated - that character is just unreal. No adult would make those decisions.

The acting is ok. Not terrible, not great. The story line is just convoluted. This is a good show to have on while you do other things. After watching the first episode, get the laundry done, clean your kitchen, and check back every once in a while. Be back for the final episode, and you won't have missed anything.

Tv-show is called muted and the premise is that the main character hasn´t spoken to anyone in six years since he killes his parents. But in fact he speaks to everyone except some people in the police and law department. This pretty much ruins thew whole premise of the movie and it never gets any better. A really boring main actor who just looks like he is misplaced in every scene he is in. Surronded with a few more b- actors/actresses makes this a snooze fest and except for the first 10 minutes when the murder is committed there is just nothing engaging about it. You never feel sorry for the main actor in any scene, you just feels he is pathetic and weird. I won´t spoil the ending but come on, really???? Number one stupidiest tv-show this year.
