I was pretty intrigued after episode 1. The plot was solid with a lot of different ways the story could go and plenty of characters to keep you guessing. After that first episode however the execution was unfortunately pretty awful.

I kept having to remind myself that the main character was a journalist and not a cop because the amount of access this woman gets as events unfold in active investigations is that of only those actually investigating the crimes. That aspect alone was frustrating because the show is so focused on the main character. She is increasingly frustrating to watch as the show continues, making very cliche poor decisions. The conclusion is unpredictable, so it gets points for that, although admittedly by the end I was just finishing the show for the sake of finishing it.

The script and idea were promising, with good potential to create a gripping story. However, the poor editing and very bad performances turned it into a confusing and slow series that failed to maintain engagement. The lack of pacing, awkward scene transitions, and uninspired acting made it frustrating to watch. What could have been a compelling thriller ended up feeling disjointed and tedious. The atmosphere and setting had promise, but the execution fell flat, making it difficult to connect with the story or characters. The dialogue felt unnatural, and the tension never fully developed, leaving a disappointing final result.

Don't pay too much attention to the negative comments directed at the main protagonist. In fact, the character's impulsive and misguided decisions are essential to the narrative. They're not flaws in the writing - they're the very foundation of the show's message. These choices drive the plot forward and force the viewer to reflect on the consequences of acting without thinking, of rushing into things with blind conviction. It's through her errors that the story gains emotional depth and tension, ultimately delivering a powerful moral. There's a lot to take away from this show in terms of personal growth, accountability, and the complexity of human behavior.

Aside from those criticisms I've seen, Caught is a visually stunning production. The performances are solid across the board, with the actors bringing a raw authenticity to their roles. The cinematography is beautiful - every shot feels carefully composed, and the natural landscapes are not only scenic but also contribute to the atmosphere of the series. The music, for the most part, complements the mood and tone of the scenes perfectly, adding emotional weight where needed (though I did find one particular scene a bit cliché in its musical choice, but that's a small detail in an otherwise well-curated score).

Overall, Caught is much more than just a mystery or drama - it's a layered exploration of consequences, ethics, and the fine line between truth and manipulation. It may be uncomfortable to watch at times, but that's exactly what makes it worthwhile.

For the people like me who love Spanish thrillers don't listen to the bad reviews!

I don't dissect a film into smithereens, I just go by the emotions and feelings I get out of it.

The acting was excellent, I see no problem with any of the actors , the main character actually reminded me of Ann Bancroft lol, even the same mannerism, RIP Anne.

The landscapes were beautifully filmed.

The plot started out with you thinking , oh I know what's going on, but step by step unravelled. Every time you thought you knew the ending , nope, there comes another twist. I like this kind of narrative very much I guess that's why I gave this film 8 stars.

I can completely and without hesitation recommend this series!

Beautiful landscapes, great cinematography, and strong performances make this series engaging. It's always a pleasure to see Soledad Villamil, and alongside Alberto Ammann, the series boasts a truly great cast. Ammann remains an underrated talent despite his standout role in *Narcos*, he still hasn't gotten the recognition he deserves.

Such a gifted actor!

The story is compelling and keeps you hooked.

However, the naivety of the main character is hard to believe...unless, sadly, this is how many journalists operate today, disregarding consequences.

Overall, it's an interesting series, and for lovers of Argentinian culture, it's an even more appealing watch.
