O Segredo da Família Greco

I saw this last night and ( you know how it plays ) as you go thru everything? It didn't look that great but I didn't watch anymore and just started the first episode. I don't like many foreign offerings Netflix puts out( Not since Nobody's watching) but this is pretty darn good and the family are all weirdos in their own ways. I did crack up in parts ( at the things the father says) that were funny to me! I can read a bit of Spanish( so I knew it was a true story) but watched it dubbed. Sometimes the dubbing can ruin a good film etc and it wasn't the best but not bad enough to watch with subtitles because there are 9 pretty long episodes ( I thought it had said 6 at start) I fell asleep on around 7. I'm surprised I'm the first review( but you need t look up the original title). I think it's pretty darn good! Better than pretty much most the new series Netflix has released over the last few months. I want to read about the real story because at this point it shows the wife and daughters as being oblivious. I'm going to finish tonight and update if needed. I say watch if you like weird crime stuff.

Absolutely brilliant series!!! Absolutely fantastic from start to finish!! The story is inspired by true events about a family that kidnaps wealthy individuals for ransom and eventually murdering them. Very very intense and gripping from the first episode to the last! Fernando Colunga as Aquiles Greco is absolutely brilliant!! The demenour, the gait, the dialogue delivery - Extremely impressive!! What a fantastic show!! Brilliant performance!! Highly recommend this show!! Many many congratulations to Mr Fernando Colunga!! Many congratulations to Telemundo and all the cast members on a well produced series Brilliant and impressive!!

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.

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.

Very engaging, nice screenplay. Thrilling in parts. I normally wouldn't binge, but this one kept me going.

I read about the actual events that had happened after I watched the series. I think the filming is brilliant.

The characters especially the patriarch had so many layers to his personality. How he is confident on his getting his own family involved. It is mind boggling.

Well done by the director - The way some of the events happen, the happy ones and at the same time the cringy ones provides a view on brutality of a simple suburban family members. Not sure why is rated so low. Would recommend this one to my friends who enjoy thrillers.
