Summary
Reviewers say 'Medusa' offers an intriguing premise with strong performances and fitting casting, yet it is criticized for its inconsistent, predictable storyline and unlikable characters. The series' excessive focus on sex scenes and uneven pacing, with moments that drag and others that rush through details, detract from its potential. Despite some engaging elements, the show fails to deliver a compelling crime mystery, leaving many viewers disappointed.

Taking a script that looks like Dallas where everyone is stabbing each others, with a rather cheesy soft romance and unnecessary sex scenes that brings nothing to the characters nor the story. Some omnipresent characters throughout the series are one dimension, and don't evolve. Difficult to watch most of the time. The story line doesn't matter any more after the first episode, as no continuity in the story line. Just some random fact pop up like that out of the blue. As I said it feels like watching a series à l'eau de rose from the 80s b production. I watched it in English, so maybe the dubbing was bad. Not sure if it was in Spanish to start with.
In short this show is female centric character named Barbara .. whatever she does is always right this show is made accordingly ..married but..erotic with 50 plus men she is right before accident she has done the humiliantion of humanity within family but she is right..mother missing since 20 yrs ..that time didnt try to find her..suddenly after accident she has become a nice person still whatever she does is right coz its in her favor..Detective is a clown he is also main character ..too much nudity without any logic. In short too many flaws just to show main charactr female right, her husbnd has given his everything for her she has done 50 plus affairs that are fine , husbd done with his assistant..she s saying you cheated me..lol..sometimes it feels how could be so many flaws in the script just to prove her right. Apart from barbara and detective every other character has played good role at the end i would give 1 star out of 10. Very bad execution.
This is a half-baked soap opera with not enough room to fully develop the story and characters, a predictable conclusion and some questionable script choices (e.g. No single redeeming character; maybe because the authors wanted to portray Colombia's elite as selfish and arrogant on purpose?).
Anyways, we really enjoyed the Costeño accent of the series' characters, which is heavy on profanity and regional slang and suits really funny to the cast of mostly white people that generally look very different from true Costeños (most of the actors are Bogotanos or Paisas).
This is yet another example as to why you MUST watch all series on the original language!
My wife is from Cartagena and we enjoyed the series as a challenge of trying to decipher which character had a "true" Costeño accent and who was just forcing it.

I was looking forward to watching this show because so many of my favorite actors from La Reina Del Flow were in it especially Carlos Torres who I think is one of the best actors of our generation. After the first episode, I thought maybe it will get better on the second one. Another episode with terrible writing and multiple sex scenes to distract from the disaster of a show from beginning to end, just terrible writers and lack of creativity really made this series unbearable to watch. I managed to get to the fourth episode and by then could no longer justify the waste of my precious time on such a poorly made series. Shame because some of the cast happen to be brilliant actors and this disaster did nothing to showcase their talent.
When I wanted to watch this series, I quickly realized that it was nothing but a collection of erotic scenes with almost no real storyline. It's as if the creators completely forgot about writing a proper script and just focused on adding as much sex as possible. If you're looking for a substitute for p*rno, this series might do the job, but if you actually want a compelling story, don't waste your time.
Instead of relying on excessive eroticism to grab attention, why not invest in real storytelling, proper character development, and an engaging plot? Maybe then, you'd actually attract an audience for the right reasons. Right now, it's painfully obvious that this was a lazy attempt at making a show. It feels cheap, uninspired, and frankly, a waste of time..
