Le détenu

This series is a nearly carbon copy of a series call El Marginal! Good cast, wondering if some of those criminal actors are real crazy criminal gang banger! lots of swear Mexican style. at episode 8 now, very engrossing. one of the best Mexican series . my vote is way funnier /crazier actors then Casa de Papel. even acting/direction is better. more of a guy show. the director of the jail is hilarious.

Very interesting plot in this one, why people here compare it to la casa de papel, I have no idea. Totally different style, plot, people, scenery...

I feel like almost all the characters did their job, acting was on point. I only had a problem with Linda and Jack, sometimes it just did not feel real enough for me to care about them. Dante and santito really made this up for me, especially santito with all his crazyness, well acted. The gangs, the rivarly, this a good "touch" on the series, made all of it more realistic.

I wish I knew Mexican, tho i only had eng subs and it was fine for me.

If I have to pull some negativity out from the series, its Dante's fighting skills, he is a ex-marine. I was kind of waiting for him to a bit more physically strong in fights but...

All in all, totally worth watching! :)

Is not better than La Casa de Papel as some people might say. The acting sometimes is very, very bad. The storyline is interesting, but I find it a bit chaotic. Hands down for the actor which plays Santito. He should really make it to Hollywood. And... let's not forget his line: "i kill you with my teeth".

Let me be clear and concise: - it is not better then La Casa de Papel, but is a completly different story, with a different Budget. Stop Comparing! - It is true that the actors are not Oscar materials, but again we are talking about a series with probably a low Budget - the script is good, well done and keep you hooked all the time

If you are looking for some good story, binge watching and if you can understand pretty well Mexican slang, then go for it. It will keep you entertained!

I dont expect Netflix to become HBO (although I wish it did!), but small productions like this justify the monthly subscription. Everything about this show is mediocre, but the pace is good and the actors help along with the script to create interesting characters. It is similar to casa di papel in this way, without the beautiful ladies! Not a bad show to spend your time.
