This is a well written show that was so engaging that I watched the entire season 1 over night.

The characters were engaging, and the twists and turns were a real thrill ride. Pretty decent acting by most of the cast. I look forward to season 2.

This show was a great one to watch. I was going through the reviews and from what I've read viewers are annoyed that the dialogue doesn't match the subtitles, the actors can not act & the the lip syncing is not accurate. I watched the show in Spanish & I can say without a doubt that all those are not true. In its original language the show is great. Lots of plot twists and I look forward to the second season! I gave 8 stars because the show is set in the 1940's and some of the hair, costumes, and scenes are inaccurate for that time but over all good show.

I don't know how they achieved the look but they have these wonderful glowing colours through the show, sometimes blurring slightly which also adds to the effect. Nice dark shadows too.

The influence of Art Deco is there in the ship set designs and maybe the clothes too, all of which are stunning.

And the story and acting: I must say I don't find it off-putting like I do nearly 95% of the British-American-Canadian-French-Indian and other productions. Basically, I cannot watch hardly anything that comes off Netflix or Hollywood today. Maybe this Spanish series is getting something right.

I'm into the third episode, so unlike what someone said, the first is not the only good one, imo anyway. So while, the plot etc. Is nothing radical it's far from the worst Netflix series, and far far ahead of the others. It's not reliant on realism, randomly shot, quick shaky camera, Euro Cannes style film making which irritates with its total pretension.

In short, beautiful, easy to watch, while not really insulting your intelligence or emotions.

I only saw Season 1 and that was enough. I wasn't watching for the twists which actually put me off. It's not like I want to keep watching a series till the end of time.

I thoroughly enjoyed this show. The cast n the mystery solving was on point. If you're a sucker for dramatic/romance cliche Spanish soaps then this one is a good one :)

Beautiful sets and costumes. Each episode ends with a cliff hanger, so I was compelled to keep watching non-stop. I really didn't intend to spend so much continuous time watching this series, but I couldn't pull myself away. Again, amazing clothes.
