Derrière les barreaux

When I first saw this title on Netflix I also thought "Oh, man. This is an Orange is the New Black copy-cat" But, as a fan of prison related shows I decided to give it a try, and man! It was awesome. This show has the intensity in every chapter as Prison Break (2005- 2009) has. If you haven't seen Vis-a-Vis you're missing out a great story, this show is NOT a comedy, it's drama, action, secrets, violence, every single episode will keep you wanting for the next. Vis-a-Vis shows a more real point of view of what is to be inside of prison.

The show is about Macarena Ferreriro a normal woman who fell in love with her married boss, she was thrown into jail for a fraud they both committed. Macarena is a nice, sweet person, very naive but when she gets in jail she will realize that prison is a horrible place.

The TV show has great characters, great story, you will not be disappointed. I definitely cannot wait for season 2!

This is by far the best female prison serie from this time. Wonderfull actors, great story. Must watch!

Every time i logged into Netflix, Vis a Vis appeared on the main page, but as soon as a read the story line I thought: "this must be the Spanish version of Orange is the New black". However, after watching Vis a Vis I can say that I was so wrong. I decided to give it a try and was the best decision I could made. Such an interesting story, great cast, with no doubt one of the best Spanish productions.

I have to say that the leading characters of both TV shows are alike and as you know both happens inside a prison but besides that there is nothing similar between them... which is a good thing a must say since I'm not exactly a fan of Orange is the new black. OITNB is more kind of a comedy with some drama while Vis a Vis is full of intrigue, lies, fights, deaths.

You should watch it.

Used to be a good show, until The middle of season three. Now, seems the writers lost the path.

I love this Show and haven't been able to get round to starting watching anything since as nothing will beat it ! I am waiting Series 3 !! Hurry up !! Its a great show - and if you are learning Spanish its good too. Great characters, good storyline - twists and turns to the story all the time.
