Don't get me wrong.. I liked the series as a whole, but at various moments in the story there were a lot of things that happened which took me out of the story and still annoy me after finishing the last episode.
Some of the characters (especially Mat), made some choices that were way too dumb to be relatable. Maybe it's just me but to explain it I need to talk spoilers from this point on!
Some examples:
I think that's enough to make my point.
This is so disappointing because everything else is so damn well executed and acted. I liked the plot twists and that it wasn't predictable most of the times. I just wished that they would have thought about the fine details a little longer before writing the script... This differentiates a good tv series from a great one.
But hey... 7 out of 10, still woulda bang ;)

Some examples:
- Mat tells Zoe, the detective, on the phone where he is, because the police "just let her go"
- The Police is dumb enough to let a suspect flee through his backyard without any problems
- Mat seriously tells Mr. Special Crimes at which plaza his wife is when he's sitting in his little cell
- Mat then casually walks through a container at a hangar with flickering lights because Mrs Magic says it's where she wants him and his wife to reunite
- The dead body of Anibal was coincidentally found at the right point in time in the story somewhere in the ocean
- Mat goes to the front door of the house of Dani's parents with the gun already shown in his hands, just so that they can say he has taking hostages and the "showdown" with the police can happen
- After being stubborn without giving out anything, dani's father suddenly makes a detailed confession of everything he has done, just because his wife says "talk" a few times! I love it when bad guys tell you everything in a monologue...
- Olivia forgives Kimmy after that woman made it that SHE ALMOST GOT RAPED IN FRONT OF HER HUSBANDS EYES!!!
