Having loved those two iconic drama series years ago, I enjoyed the twists and turns in this bonkers show but the lead actress Carolina Miranda did get on my nerves. Yes, she's attractive, but the way she's always strutting around wearing revealing clothes and batting her big blue eyes gets boring. The cameramen obviously loved her!
Every character seems to have a perfect body! Lots of sex scenes - both gay and straight - but, to me, they were so highly stylised as to be completely un-erotic. If you want erotic, check out Jack Nicholson and Jessica Lange on the kitchen table in The Postman Always Rings Twice, for example.
Some serious plot holes towards the end here. How did Miguel get out of that burning car without his wife seeing him? How is the Inti character not riddled with disease when he's having it off with just about every character?
The only decent man in this is David and sadly Camilla treats him so badly when he clearly loves her. Even at the end, when it seems she's with him and he's smiling as she dances, her attention is still on that slimeball Miguel, literally behind his back!
So I'm not saying I didn't enjoy it, it just irritated me in so many ways that I can't score it higher.
