Season 6

There's been a noticeable decline in this series from the fourth season, and season 6 isn't any different. It's a series that has genuinely overstayed its welcome, and this is very evident as none of the original cast is present in this season. The jaded plot stumbles and pirouettes with no flair, and tries to make up for it with more dancing, drinking and substance taking. Many societal issues are raised, but their executions are perfunctory and superficial.

The twist to the season's whodunit was well-done and the season's ending is a frustrating but clever cliffhanger, promising that more harm is coming to Las Encinas. With season seven on the way, I hope they can return with the charm the first three seasons delivered and come up with a satisfying end to the series.

S1 to S3 were great but S4 is a major letdown. It seems the characters suffer from amnesia because they keep repeating the same mistakes followed by illogical actions which follow such mistakes. Like I for one couldn't understand how characters just betray, forgive and forget so easily only to repeat this cycle countless times. "It was just sex" the characters make the relationships sound so insignificant with this dialogue and to top it all this statement does work as an excuse. All in all it was fine initially but now it's gotten on my nerves how stupid the characters of this show are.

Look how they killed my boy 😭. The cast & storyline for seasons 1-3 are just great. I loved the show until they released season 4... it just goes so downhill. I'd recommend anyone to watch the first 3 seasons. It's not worth it after that. The cast changes & the story changes.

There's not a whole lot more to say than that. I guess I'll try fill out the character count for a bit longer.

Oh yeah, the whole plot of seasons 1-3 is really good and it is a genuinely engrossing mystery. And once the characters work out who carried out the murder, it's perfectly frustrating to watch them be unable to prove it. Loved it.

Solidly entertaining for what it is. Think every tenn show you've ever seen and add a dash of the Affair or How To Get Away With Murder. It's melodrama through and through. Pretty teens. Uncaring families. Poor little rich girls and boys. Even poorer poor kids. Nobody is happy in this world. Somebody winds up dead. Somebody's going to jail. You find somebody to love you'd better hang on tooth and nail. The wolf is always at the door.

It deals with some real issues: notably Islamaphobia and the repressive nature of fundamentalism, coming out of the closet, open relationships and threesomes, HIV and the seeming impossibility of reinventing yourself in highschool. All hormones, no autonomy. Such is life.

Well worth a binge watch if you're stuck inside on a rainy day. You won't find yourself transfixed but you will want to know what happens next. The writing felt a little stale but of course translations and voiceovers don't always capture the rhythm of the original dialogue. Still something tells me the writer isn't Spain's answer to Shondre Rhimes or Aaron Sorkin.

Season 1 & 2 were great and all characters were great and lovable.

Season 3 wasn't as good but still, it had some great moments to it and didn't drift away from the purpose.

Season 4. I was like what? Is this another show with the same actors? Were the writers out of ideas and just wanted a sequel? And what's with the barrage of unnecessary s!x scenes ? There was no chemistry whatsoever with the new characters.

Major Let down really.

I hope that by some miracle they manage to revive the series in season 5.

Thanks.
