O Segredo da Família Greco

I wanted to give it a try despite not "feeling it". Now I can't write a review about the story itself. I couldn't finish it. This is a very boring show with scenes so long I almost felt asleep. Also, it's vey sloppy in the execution with many situations that don't make any sense, and the characters are beyond unlikable, immoral and gross. It's supposed to be a true story, but it looks implausible. Such despicable people. I tried to like it, but I gave up after the first episode and a half. And I lost my time watching it. Sorry, but it's how I feel. I can't understand the positive reviews, but to each their own I guess.

I wanted to like it, but.... while this TV series based on the true story of the Puccio family of Argentina, the 2015 movie "El Clan" directed by Pablo Trapero featuring Guillermo Francelle and Peter Lanzini is FAR superior, more sinister (and much shorter!).

First, the movie El Clan does not give away the ending in the opening sequence like Familia Greco does. (I watched the movie not knowing anything and it was a real mind-bender.) Also, the juxtaposition of the beautiful visuals and superb music choices of El Clan lend a creepiness that this Familia Greco never quite achieves.

Trust me, watch the 2015 movie El Clan instead. Or watch both and decide for yourself.

Maybe because I lived near there in 1985 (and had NO IDEA!!!), that movie still haunts me years later. Check it out.

The actors were great.. the story was intriguing except for the fact that the main character was not a cop but an accountant. If you're going to change things up and reference the series on an actual story that did occur, don't do it on the main character. Would've been more understandable if the father was an accountant as the real story said. Stop trying to go with the "bad cop" story line because it takes away from the story...Again, Fernando Colunga was awesome, one of my favorite actors growing up watching in the novelas my mom watched. If you're on the wall about watching the show give it a try.. you'll be hooked.

One star is too much, a twisted plot far from the real story used to create dark scenes that makes you realize that is not worth watching.

Colunga deceives with a terrible performance. It is indignant how utilizing christian symbols to ruin catholics reputation, details that were never part of the real story. It is obvious that there was an intention to derogate religion.

I did not finish. It is disgusting, inmoral and in extreme disrespectful. Colunga must be desperate for money when he accepted this character. This my second review as the one I submitted before was never posted. I hope my opinion is now shared.

No question this is an an unusual and cringe-worthy story. It's very depressing to think that some of the opinions of wealthy people is so hated and completely ignorsnt of those who built true legitimate wealth and then are at risk by the type of nutjuobs depicted in the drama. The actors did a very good job and the filmaking good as well. It makes one wonder how widespread is this type type of class jealousy. The main criminal is a far off the charts narcissist and social deviate which is so evil it makes it hard time sleep es especially when it's based on a true story. Wonder why too they put it off as a is a Mexican drama when ithe Pacheco family was actually in Argentina?
