What BollyAI Thinks

Season 1 landed March 24, 2021 and immediately became a global Netflix phenomenon - the platform later reported 55 million household views in the first 28 days and 266 million hours watched, making it the most-watched non-English title on the service at that point. Critics scored it 86 percent from 7 reviews: Espinof called it an entertaining thriller with the soul of a telenovela; El Pais praised how subscription TV had allowed Mexican melodrama to flourish luxuriously. Decider acknowledged logic problems but found the energetic vibe and committed performances sufficient. The audience-versus-critic split visible in the IMDb rating of 6.4 reflects the show's nature: it operates on telenovela mechanics, not prestige-drama logic, and rewards audiences who understand the register.

The hours worth arguing about — premieres, finales, and the turning points. BollyAI reads the room episode by episode.

  1. E1Episode 17.5

    The premiere deploys its premise with unusual efficiency: Alex's release, the flashback to Sara's death, and the establishment of the Lazcano family as the target all land in the first episode. The show is upfront about being a revenge thriller rather than a slow-burn mystery, and the tonal clarity is an asset.

    The moment: Alex's first return to the location where Sara died - the show's governing obsession is established here, and Manolo Cardona's contained fury is immediately compelling.

    “The series progresses with remarkable fluidity, supported by a constant bet on the surefire tropes of the telenovela.” — La Nacion
