Sr. Ávila

If I can describe Sr. Avila, in 3 words will be: slow bad direction. Here my summary: Title : Good, and gets your attention. Music : Good, and do their thing. Topic : Same old story, nothing new.

The way that the series tell you the story, is to slow, the writers apparently have an idea, and they extend it to the limit (not a good thing), they took 2 chapters to get to the point.

The direction or way of film it (photography) always to close to the character without a point, and the low light scenes, always is this king of dust in the air, the film is dirty, stop creating the idea that the dust gives you a mysticism, not it does not.

Tony Dalton is the same in all scenes, he can be fireman or insurance guy and act the same way always. Please, tell him that in all movies is the same type of actuation.

The relation between Avila and his wife, not credible at all, please they are married for 10 years and still talking like that? writers come on, be more real.

Writing: please do a little research about guns, weapons, killing, assassination, mafia. No because you have an idea about how is like, doesn't mean that that is how it is. DO RESEARCH, be real. The ideas need to be developed.

Acting: please, and please, learn how to handle a gun, go to a gun range and fire some shots. Get training, research. Kid (killer) to overacted on his lunacy, or perhaps the camera to close to his face. Old SR, good, although needs to be more impersonal, more cold, better dress, suit up appropriate!!!. He must me impersonal, cold, talk with his eyes and not mouth. Writers & Director come ooon.

You need to get better, special the direction.

Great series. Will definitely keep you interested. However, I couldn't stand the background music. Annoying and totally out of place. It definitely doesn't help.

Found this one by accident, took a few minutes to look at it, and was immediately hooked. Excellent show! Spanish subtitles, hecho en Mexico. The plot itself merits high praise and the Mexican eye makes it irresistible. I just can not wait for the next season!! Anyone who can say when it will air, well, that would be greatly appreciated.

Not much of a Spanish TV watcher, especially not soaps, but stumbled on this while checking out OnDemand on HBO one night and now I'm completely addicted. It's like watching the Latin Sopranos, or better a combination of Sopranos and the Professional in Spanish. It's action packed and the scenes related to the family are well done. There are a few recognizable actors but all new for me. Love the slightly foreign feel, since I read it's filmed in Mexico, but not so much you don't believe it's real. The violence is brutal but not entirely gory and the connections between characters keeps you hooked. I'm 41 years old and I've always found Latin TV to be silly, not real enough but they figured this one out nicely. Highly Recommended!

Must watch - Get past the first episode and you will be trying to watch the whole series in one sitting. The actors are big screen quality. The premise is unique. No other like it on TV. There is a degree of morbidity well hidden by the plot for each episode. Hard to believe that we want the main characters to succeed in their "Jobs". It moves at the right pace. The plot and the acting make the premise believable. A MUST watch for anyone that likes good acting, a different type of scenery, and to become involved in the plot of every episode. If you are the type who likes a love story in the plot or one who likes fast pace action with unrealistic "always win" expectations, this may not be your best series to watch.
