Review: The Best Series I've Ever Watched

I can confidently say this is the best series I've ever watched. From the very first episode, I was completely hooked. The storyline is captivating, the characters are incredibly well-developed, and the pacing is perfect. Every scene is crafted with such precision that it keeps you on the edge of your seat, eagerly anticipating what will happen next. It's rare for a show to grab your attention so quickly and hold it all the way through, but this one does it effortlessly. If you're looking for a series that's impossible to stop watching, this is it. Highly recommended!

Loved the drama, the production and everything about the tv series. I highly recommend it, and I have to say, it's a monumental achievement. The series does a brilliant job honoring the resilience and courage of those who lived through the 1985 Mexico City earthquake. From the first episode, the storytelling gripped me, blending deeply personal narratives with the collective trauma and heroism of the time. Each character felt authentic, their struggles and triumphs making the tragedy feel all too real.

The use of virtual production to recreate the city's devastation is nothing short of groundbreaking. It transported me directly into the heart of the chaos, and the attention to detail showed incredible respect for the historical context. Director Jorge Michel Grau deserves immense credit for unearthing untold stories that resonate so powerfully. The balance between human vulnerability and strength is masterful.

Congratulations to the entire team for setting a new benchmark in Latin American storytelling.

Anyone who knows the feeling of an earthquake in Mexico can relate to this great story!! The writers did an amazing job g job taking each chapter for the characters to evolve. You get to care for each extra around the story because it's all about the bigger picture but about each human experience.

The way you get to know the characters and its marvelous course of events. The way you feel the moment. Each chapter makes you feel exactly how they were feeling.

In the moment the babies were saved: history was written repeating ...the moment every person came out alive or dead. The feeling of the after math of an earthquake.

Mexicans have special powers when we get together : this make you feel like one of them, one of us in these situations and you know you're in great hands.

I can't wait for part two.

You would think that an event like this would make for a GREAT story. Especially when you have the means of AMAZON and MGM Studios.

I was excited to see this. I was hoping it would have some great writing and star-power - as they did in the 1972 classic "The Poseidon Adventure". Unfortunately - it had neither. It is a real shame. There were moments of brilliance in this series but they were few and far between. The camerawork and special effects were disappointing. The video quality was downgraded to better match with some of the actual footage from the disaster. I am sure it seemed like a good idea pre-production but not so much in the final cut. If you are not a PREMIUM customer of Prime - you have to wade through the commercials which seem to be every 15 minutes. Anytime you start engaging with the story - you are stuck with an Allstate Insurance commercial. This is just another reminder to me to READ the reviews before you invest the time in some of these programs. Sorry folks - this one does not make the grade.

I highly recommend this series. It's an ambitious project tackling a difficult subject that affected most Mexicans less than 40 years ago. Everyone I know is praising the visual effects and historical accuracy in portraying the devastation. But what I loved most was how the writers fleshed out the characters, making us complicit in understanding their mindset and choices. Every turn evokes powerful emotions, and as viewers we feel drawn in to that pure human emotion, whether it be affection, desperation, claustrophobia, anger, or hope- we have a personal connection. Projects like this honor the resilience and strength of character Mexicans had during our most challenging time.
