Detetive Belascoarán

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.

Breezy, fast-paced. This is one film that doesn't take itself seriously and it works. The viewer is entertained as a result. The cases that Belascoaran works on are not really difficult and sans dizzying twists. But they are engaging and the viewer follows the stories enthusiastically till the end.

The film shows how he tackles each case: with aplomb and comedic touch. The illustrations that overlay the screen to further explain the cases Belascoaran is working on are cleverly done. This, as well as funny Silverio Palacios, as Belascoaran's casual sidekick Gilberto, add to the film's playful quality.

The actors, particularly Luis Gerardo Mendez, dish out realistic portrayals of their roles; nothing is cheesy or grandstanding.

As detective stories go, this one has a better vibe than "The Poison Rose" (2019) starring John Travolta.

This series from Mexico starts off quite strongly, but fizzles quickly. The story soon becomes filled with too many subplots, not all of which have relevance to the main plot. The story starts to lose continuity through poor editing and jumps in the story sequence that leaves viewers quite baffled as to how the sequence of events jumped from A to C without going through B! The plot eventually becomes so confusing that there is complete loss of interest by the time the final episode comes around. The acting is passable but the audio is poorly done with moments where the dialog becomes inaudible because of the loud soundtrack drowning out the voices of the actors. This happens more than once.

With a little more focus on ensuring story continuity and sequencing through proper editing, and ensuring that the dialog isn't drowned out by background music, the series is quirky and different enough to be quite entertaining.

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!

Light hearted yet very well acted, really enjoyed each episode, the fact that it ended the way it did, makes me thing (hope) for q second season, only 3 episodes, me Mendez is probably one of the best Mexican actors at the moment and had very good chemistry with Paulina Gaitab, super hot by the way, is set in the 70s which a golden era for Mexican cinema so it definitely ads a touch of nostalgia, at least to us that are familiar with them.

I'll keep my fingers crossed as I really look forward for season 2 and more, I know there's plenty of material so, why not?

Definitely a must see highly recommend.
