Caught in the Web: The Murders Behind Zona Divas

Young women from across South America head to Mexico City in search of a better life, unfortunately sex traffickers take advantage of them, and they find themselves caught in a world they cannot escape.

I felt the first two episodes were very good, I got a little disinterested by the third, for me it just felt a bit too padded out, they could have condensed it down into two or three.

There are some powerful interviews, and good to see that some of the women flourished in their lives after moving on, but for Kenni and others, it cost them their lives.

I'm sure some people will watch and wonder how on Earth these girls got into this situation, I would imagine due to sheer desperation.

You'll watch hoping for some sort of conclusion, but as soon as the world Cartel is mentioned, you know only too well what the outcome will be.

Overall it's an interesting, but incredibly sad documentary.

6.5/10.

Halfway through I had the sense I had watched this before....but I hadn't. Sometimes I lost the thread of the show completely and had to go back to the title and précis to connect the dots. Disjointed and with character and time jumps handled clumsily, this desperately tried to be a more sophisticated and compelling version of itself, and failed terribly.

I really don't understand the minimum character limit requirement in these reviews. I've said what needs to be said and now have to pad out my review, just like the show creators padded out the series, to meet some arbitrary minimum word count (or episode count).

Why was this made? Should not be the first thing I think after the first episode with three remaining. Why is some of the dialogue echoing through the speakers? How lazy of Netflix? . I'm not certain what the situation is for Netflix I know they release too much crap as "originals" to be charged monthly. These are some cheaply made snooze fests. I don't recommend this. It's a very sad story of course but it's loses focus and the sound is off so badly you will question your sanity. They really try to go ham on the dramatics in a already dramatic situation. Someone needs to re review the reviews that get this kinda stuff published. WASTE OF TIME No you're not having a stroke. That's really the way they decided to put English over original audio. Lazy.
