Francella's Mastery Shines in a Visually Engaging Series
The quality of Francella was already a guarantee, but without a doubt, he manages to revalidate his reputation. Although sometimes the series could be somewhat predictable, the visual narrative and the scene-to-scene changes are phenomenal in keeping the viewer engaged. As viewers, we also suffer from a dual personality in that for brief moments we empathize with the protagonist since we see everything from his perspective, but at the same time, there is always that rejection of his behavior present in us. The first 3 minutes of the first episode of the first season and the last 3 minutes of the last episode of the second season best describe the series and its character. Congratulations to the cast.

Bittersweet Realism: Unveiling Unanswered Questions and Social Realities in Falsos Positivos
This film leaves a lingering discomfort, portraying a narrative with numerous unresolved questions and underdeveloped subplots. Yet, this intentional effect on the viewer mirrors the harsh reality of innocent lives lost. Despite the apparent focus on Ronald as the central character, the movie transcends him; his context, the settings, and the ambient sounds collectively emerge as the genuine protagonists. The film effectively captures the economic and social conditions surrounding the tragic occurrences of "falsos positivos" Notably, it succeeds in portraying the victims with diversity, avoiding idealization and presenting them as complex individuals with both strengths and flaws. Francisco's performance stands out as phenomenal, while the other actors, although overshadowed, should be interpreted within the given context.
