Ingobernable

Love the story and the scenario and the hero of this series

I really enjoyed season 1 of this show. Sure, there was the usual overacting, but several actors turn in a decent performance. There was a lot of action. Season 2 is Weak!! They must have phoned it in because I was very bored. It is too bad.

Honestly the only reason why foreigners may not like Ingobernable it's because they do not know Mexican history and don't understand the relevance of this show. The references to important historical events, the portrait of the military, the media, and the Mexican government, the re-writing of history, foreign government interference, corruption, greed, the interest of few driving a whole nation, it's all just wonderful. Epigmeo Ibarra did an amazing job here and he couldn't have picked a better lead actress. I like how women are portrait in this show too. For me, this show would be a 10, simply for the speech the president did. The speech was, personally, a cathartic moment I am sure 90% of the mexican population would want to see happening in real life. Everything; the president's speech, the well written characters, the portrait of the reality plus the fictional scenarios that are so extreme yet so believable, the good acting, it all makes the show simply amazing.

First: Good on Netflix for working on decent Spanish shows for the Latino/Spanish language Audience. Second: The general quality if fine. It does feel like a Spanish language "Houes of Cards" / "Narcos" style production. So if you like those, you will probably enjoy this. Third: Ignore the"Overdramatic Cheesy Telenovela" comments. Those comments are by people expecting things to feel like USA English language productions. Apples and Oranges. If speak Spanish fluently, are Latin American or at least know Latin American culture, and have watched sufficient Latin American TV, it presents appropriately for shows of this genre. I suppose the target audience is for Spanish native Latin Americans, not for those watching through USA English style glasses.

I haven't seen the English subtitles, so i am not sure if the few bad reviews are from people who read a poor translation, or just don't get it....but this show is great! The action, the drama, everything! Disagree with the bad acting comment. This show's characters are well developed and multi-faceted. If you like exciting thrillers, especially if you speak Spanish, you will probably love this. Also... this isn't "Mexico trying to be the US." That kind of US exceptionalism perspective is so limited, misguided, and uncultured (sorry)....and appears to be based on a stereotypical viewpoint of how people in Mexico should dress/act. I can say that this show is definitely Mexican, and definitely a fun watch.
