It was good for a while, but I got to 2nd season and I find it traumatizingly bad.
Here is a particular scene of a DEA agent calling Teresa on her mobile:
Honestly this is terrible.
The acting also gets terrible, not all of it, but Camilla Vargas feels asperger, she always speaks in the same tone. Teresa's constant tight-lipped expression is also irritating.
And the music, it just goes on and goes on all the time. It feels like there are maybe 5 or 6 background tracks, each assigned to a different mood (suspense, anxiety, nostalgia, chill-out, etc) and they keep re-using them all the time.
Basically it's like going to an eat-as-much-as-you-can buffet which only offers McDonalds fries with maybe ketchup or some sauce. It's only nice for a while.
Here is a particular scene of a DEA agent calling Teresa on her mobile:
- Teresa picks up the call
- DEA caller tells Teresa something she might be interested into
- Teresa says "what do you want"
- We see DEA trying to trace the call to find her position. One of the coworker tells the caller to "keep her talking" so that they can trace her.
- Caller tells Teresa "let's keep talking"
- Teresa realizes that she is being traced and hangs up.
