Cada minuto cuenta

I highly recommend this series. It's an ambitious project tackling a difficult subject that affected most Mexicans less than 40 years ago. Everyone I know is praising the visual effects and historical accuracy in portraying the devastation. But what I loved most was how the writers fleshed out the characters, making us complicit in understanding their mindset and choices. Every turn evokes powerful emotions, and as viewers we feel drawn in to that pure human emotion, whether it be affection, desperation, claustrophobia, anger, or hope- we have a personal connection. Projects like this honor the resilience and strength of character Mexicans had during our most challenging time.

The earthquake of 85 is a landmark event in Mexican history. To put it in perspective, It's our version of 9/11. It was about time someone depicted this event with all the glory its heroes deserve. Because unlike 9/11, the police and firemen were absolutely useless. It was up to the people to save themselves. I loved how the writing clearly made this a point of emphasis throughout the show. Practically our entire history is made up of our people rising up to the challenge of the times DESPITE the government. I can't wait to see where this team takes the story next. Even if you are not Mexican, I heavily recommend this show.

This is an amazing representation of the events that happened that day, the stories shared are truly authentic, and the script is masterfully developed and executed. This really captures the true Mexico. They also did a really great job of capturing what 1985 Mexico City looked like, and all the events that transpired inside the fallen buildings really take your breath away. I also really liked the character development and their back stories, it makes you care for what happens to them and they are really easy to root for, knowing that all this stories really happened under the ruble is mesmerizing, definitely a great attribute to human nature.

Congratulations on a very nice show, and I'll stay tuned for season 2.

Anyone who knows the feeling of an earthquake in Mexico can relate to this great story!! The writers did an amazing job g job taking each chapter for the characters to evolve. You get to care for each extra around the story because it's all about the bigger picture but about each human experience.

The way you get to know the characters and its marvelous course of events. The way you feel the moment. Each chapter makes you feel exactly how they were feeling.

In the moment the babies were saved: history was written repeating ...the moment every person came out alive or dead. The feeling of the after math of an earthquake.

Mexicans have special powers when we get together : this make you feel like one of them, one of us in these situations and you know you're in great hands.

I can't wait for part two.

The actual earthquake lasted for more than 80 seconds. It was really long. I was expecting a lot more of the movement, and different people experiencing things. At least some imagery of the news TV show just before all went dark. But in the show was just a few seconds. Not enough to get invested in a whole series. The dialogue of the woman reporter and her crew was wooden, unrealistic and disgustingly modern. Not at all how it was on that moment: Nobody was prepared, nobody had lived through something like this. It was obvious it was written by somebody who haven't lived through any event similar, neither worked in news. I don't know of they try to portrait her as a protagonist but instead seemed an antihero. The aspect of the hospital was better done. But again, the "speeches" other doctor and similar are completely unrealistic. People just started helping without anybody giving those kind of lame words. It's a shame, because it could have been a great show.
