Qui a tué Sara ?

Who cares who killed Sara! I'm not at all happy with Netflix on this one. In a Mexico-thriller-mystery connection, one expects Mexican cartels, people trafficking, torture, murder, drugs, but hey, this is a soft soap opera from Mexico that is pure drama, and literally nothing interesting happens there for the entire series. In the first episode it's still alright, a guy gets out of prison after 18 years and decides to get revenge on the family that put him there. You'd expect him that after 18 years, he would have come with an insane plan like the the Professor in Money Heist in 18 years, but here he can't do more than threaten. By the end of the series, I was vainly hoping that at least half the people would be dead, but that was me being overly optimistic. This is a classic melodrama, dealing with family relationships, who's sleeping with whom and who's cheating on whom. The only thing I liked are the numerous erotic scenes, that's also the only thing that the creators managed to impress me with, except the central gay couple, who are perhaps there more often than the main character 😃 In terms of script, I found it weak (Mexico is not Spain after all), the characters didn't stick to my heart, there's annoying flashbacks every five minutes, and I had trouble figuring out which character it was, and since there's nothing going on that interested me, the fun went by the wayside. After five episodes I was hesitant to finish the series and I would have done better to give up then. The biggest indignity is that what you wait seven hours for the creators to leave the door open for a possible second season, and I won't be there. Women and soap opera or drama lovers might be satisfied, I'll have to go watch samurai and ninjas now to fix my mood. This was a downright waste of time. 4/10. (30/03/2021)
