Mar de plástico

Got hooked up. There's a lot of bad acting, but I liked the plot and the twists and really wanted to know who's the killer. Not bad TV and I'm becoming a fan of Spanish TV shows.

I'm only half way through, but I'm ambivalent about continuing. The cinematography is excellent, I'm so in love with it. The story is good and has captured my attention. But, I'm watching on Netflix with subtitles (I don't know much Spanish). Half of them are missing! I'm only getting half of a conversation and I'm having to figure out the rest. Very frustrating! That's my only complaint so far.

It started off with promise, but sadly, gradually descended into a clichéd soap opera. 14 hours to come to a conclusion. I don't know if I can bring myself to watch the second series, knowing that it will probably follow a similar dragged out pattern.

Good God! How much time can be wasted in each episode? I kept wanting them to get on with the investigation, but there were several subplots that added nothing.

This team of detectives is one of the worst I have seen in that kind of crime series. There are so many twists and subplots that you get tired and want to finish it quickly. Most characters are violent and stupid, and eventually you don't care about the solution. Especially irritating is the permanent drama between Hector and his friend's wife. Also the way they all recover in five minutes from terrible injuries, or severe concussions is ludicrous. The only not too bad actor/actress is Nya de la Rubia who plays Lola. The other ones are close to awful. If you don't speak Spanish you will have to guess the dialogues, with white subtitles on white background. So, watchable, but not the top of Netflix.
