Accidente

Whoever says this show is any good, must have a personal interest in it. There is nothing, and let me be crystal clear, N-O-T-H-I-N-G believable than can be rescued out of this series. Shame on Netflix for trying to sell this POS as a drama series, when it's nothing more than a Mexican Telenovela with underperforming actors, characters out of a comic book, that quickly becomes a comedy. Think of a cliche? This series has it. It's so predictable that even if you only had one functional brain cell you could predict what will happen after the first episode.

The writer (Padron) has done nothing else in his career other than writing mediocre telenovelas, why would you expect any different? Don't waste your time and most importantly don't waste your money. You can watch garbage like this every day for free on Televisa, Telemundo or Univisión. No subscription necessary.

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.

I'm not a fan of Netflix Latinoamérica productions because they always end up disappointing me, and this was no exception. I'm Colombian and since this show happens to have in its cast, 2 Colombian actors that I used to love as a teenager, I decided to check it and I regret every minute of it. Even though my expectations couldn't have possibly been lower, this show still found a way to make me feel disappointed and embarrassed about the quality of Latinamerican shows. This was bad in ways i didn't know it could be bad.

What started as and what I thought was gonna be an adult drama, gets so stretched and confusing and convoluted that it very quickly turns into a poorly made telenovela, but also a bad action series and also a basic teenage drama with teenage characters and teenager music. This was the definition of "everything, everywhere (and everyone) all at once". It was everyone against everyone, going from 0 to 100 every other minute, for no absolutely no reason. There's too many storylines that get intertwined but in the most forced and unrealistic ways possible. Nothing felt natural, nothing felt believable. It felt like every episode was written by a big group of complete strangers who were brainstorming, and then each episode got directed by an entirely different group of other strangers who kept brainstorming some more. The acting is bad, the writing is atrocious, the music is absolutely awful and the editing is diabolical.

Many lines delivered by various characters in what were supposed to be tense moments, ended up genuinely making me crack up in laughter or making me cringe so bad that I literally covered my face. The use of music was excessive in every scene, there were very few seconds of silence in each episode and the genre and song choices always felt wrong, awkward and cringey. But the editing, that was definitely the worst part of this experience. It felt like it was edited by 20 different people who never actually met, discussed or communicated with each other at all. Entire scenes and potential dramatic moments got cut very abruptly and followed by scenes that completely killed the vibe or they would use a lot of "gossip girl" kinda music on scenes that were supposed to be serious and tense.

This could and should have been maximum 6 episodes long, but for reasons beyond my comprehension, it's 10. There were 3 performances though, that stood out in a positive way for me, specially the 2 protagonists and another female character from the supporting cast. They were not consistently amazing, but they did deliver several dramatic moments that felt genuine and believable . But aside from that, everything else was absolutely horrible. I do not recommend it and if anyone is reading this, please trust me, do not waste hours of your life watching this catastrophe.

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.
