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.

You would think that an event like this would make for a GREAT story. Especially when you have the means of AMAZON and MGM Studios.

I was excited to see this. I was hoping it would have some great writing and star-power - as they did in the 1972 classic "The Poseidon Adventure". Unfortunately - it had neither. It is a real shame. There were moments of brilliance in this series but they were few and far between. The camerawork and special effects were disappointing. The video quality was downgraded to better match with some of the actual footage from the disaster. I am sure it seemed like a good idea pre-production but not so much in the final cut. If you are not a PREMIUM customer of Prime - you have to wade through the commercials which seem to be every 15 minutes. Anytime you start engaging with the story - you are stuck with an Allstate Insurance commercial. This is just another reminder to me to READ the reviews before you invest the time in some of these programs. Sorry folks - this one does not make the grade.

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.

Review: The Best Series I've Ever Watched

I can confidently say this is the best series I've ever watched. From the very first episode, I was completely hooked. The storyline is captivating, the characters are incredibly well-developed, and the pacing is perfect. Every scene is crafted with such precision that it keeps you on the edge of your seat, eagerly anticipating what will happen next. It's rare for a show to grab your attention so quickly and hold it all the way through, but this one does it effortlessly. If you're looking for a series that's impossible to stop watching, this is it. Highly recommended!

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.
