Accidente

I watched it in Spanish, my mother tongue, which I always enjoy, but the massive, intrusive high proportion of foul language- just every few words- turned me off and ruined it. The soap opera over-emotional burden is daunting. 90% of the series becomes predictable, though the 10% remaining do present some twists to justify a mild thriller or at least a mystery. Characters are cardboard for the most part. I couldn't find one single outstanding actor either. Except the kids, who once gone, very early, are sorely missed. The story is interesting, even original, and the sadness real and communicative. But a huge editing job was needed, in many respects. Pity, it had great potential.

There are some really good moments, but I just can't shake off the "Televisa presenta" impression. There's always a criminal, a unscrupulous lawyer, a few poor people, and a few too good to be true characters. In this kind of series, there shouldn't be such a strong divide between good and evil, because this isn't a comedy dealing with light subjects. If you're tackling a serious topic, do it professionally. Given that it wasn't done professionally, this will remain just another soap opera that isn't close to being a drama. As long as mistresses, drug lords, corrupt policemen, and exaggerated scenes persist, Latin series will never be taken seriously.

There is no way this series is less than a 6 in rate.

1. The Plot is great, although it has a lot of things of Mexican novelas, I think that making a series about a simple mistake that could've been avoided is interesting.

2. Everything that happens because of unawareness and how families react is worth watching.

3. The series display deep family issues, toxic patterns, cowardice, ambition, negligence and injustice.

4. This series is not racist, do not believe in the reviews that are saying this. It's way the opposite.

5. Awesome actors

What I did not like: 1. The overreaction of some characters 2. That it was a series instead of a movie: because it had to be overwritten to make it interesting. I don't know how it will go with a second season.

Compelling at the start. However, poorly dubbed. As one with knowledge of the criminal justice system the plot indeed turned an accident into a murder. As the story progressed every female character becomes someone you can truly despise . Every one of them ! I lasted the entire series because of the desire to see what would happen with this disaster of a storyline. It wasn't pretty . The hatred spewed among people who had zero sense of the criminal culpability is astonishing. Children die as a result of a bouncy house not being properly secured. The wind blows it away ( very unlikely ), and the plot turns on who is responsible. That inaction is deemed to be murder. Nowhere in the US ( this is in Mexico ) that I know of would this be murder - and yes, it was negligent and a very unlikely "accident." The main mean character tries to kill the children of the man he thought to be responsible by burning them in their home - and although he is clearly responsible and witnesses are present he's never charged!!!! Ok, I watched it. Maybe because it was SO bad. But I can not in good conscience recommend it. There's so much better to watch and do.

With tinges of overacting, I still recommend watching the ACCIDENT. Everyone is flawed as everyone is affected. There are villains a plenty, with great acting by the main villain Charro. I particularly enjoyed the constant interplay of different storylines by the main couples. Yes, you could have omitted the three sex scenes, added nothing. But that's just me.

I found the dialogue believable and well written. Many modern themes are delineated with nuance: materialism, avarice, infidelity, drug use, parental abuse and neglect, classicism. The city of Santa Cruz and the surrounding area make a beautiful backdrop to all the action.
