Barracuda Queens

I went into Barracuda Girls with no expectations, and what I got was an unexpected rollercoaster of humor and cringe-worthy moments that I didn't see coming.

The show features a cast of unbearably mean, self-centered girls who, honestly, could give the characters from Pretty Little Liars a run for their money. And let me be clear: that's both a compliment and an insult. The characters' behavior is as manipulative and petty as it is hilariously exaggerated. At times, you're left wondering whether to laugh or cringe at how outlandish their antics get.

But that's where the charm of the show lies. It's unapologetically over-the-top, and while you might roll your eyes at the characters, you can't help but get sucked into the absurdity of it all.

I feel deeply embarrassed!!! If the first Season 1 could be pleasant and, in its simplicity, even well done, let's say that Season 2 is abominable!!! But who wrote the plot, the author of Beautiful or some Mexican soap opera? Indecent! I refuse to be fooled by these screenwriters and these chicken-catching productions!!! Do they think that the public is all stupid? It's not that the viewers are all teenagers. Unthinkable!!! If Season 1 deserved its good 6, with parts of comedy also pleasant and a basic, real, interesting story, Season 2 deserves a nice 0!!! Let's pretend that I leave the 6, and forget that a Season 2 exists!!!

...got sucked in!

It's not superb, it's not high-class acting overall, but it's fun. Five teenage brats decide to team up to plan a raid to repay the debt they own. The moment it works, they get addicted and decide to do it again, and again, and again.

Although it's not the best acting you might have seen, it's visible that the actors are enjoying it and that all their characters have their own little and bigger problems. It's over the top drama, but the way they present it keeps us viewers watching. The chemistry between our 5 female leads is good and while all their actions can be questioned every few minutes, it's still a nice show to watch.

7/10. The show itself is a 6/10, but Alva Bratt's acting (Louise/Lollo) adds one point. Especially the parts where she plays the psycho is where she shines. Can't wait to see her playing a real villain somewhere.

I typically do not start watching a new series that are only around 30 minutes per episode but somehow I did with Barracuda Queens and that's ok. The language is dubbed not very well but that's ok as well. It didn't negatively affect my opinion of it because I enjoyed the short easy breezy series. In no time I was finished with it and wishing they would have given us a hour long episode when making it. I am from the states and had never heard anything about the girls but we are similar in age. Maybe that plays a role in why I enjoyed it as much as I did. I can't help but wonder how they all turned out. I hope well!

This series really caught my attention right from the first episode. Good actors, good production, great soundtrack, interesting story and characters but with so much development potential.

They have really succeeded in reflecting the environment from the nineties. The music, the clothes and the rest of the environment. It is an impressive interpretation that is based on real events. However, I missed other perspectives of the story. Therefore, the first season could have been several episodes. Alternatively, the episodes could have been longer than just thirty minutes. But in summary, it's a good series! I really hope there will be another season or more. It's really worth a watch!
