Que onda guey?
6 October 2023
Very sad story, and strong, I first watched the first 3 episodes, I found it confusing at times, the first 3 are more from the families' point of view, too much soap opera for my taste, but there is a terrifying tension that increases in each episode, although I would have chosen more pace and less unnecessary dialogue. I guess is to give us a better idea of the terror that is coming.

The dialogues are very repetitive. Lots of chingada, chingadera, continuously, I guess that's how they really talk, but it seemed a bit exaggerated to me. Mucha chingadera guey! Pendejo, no mames, cabron, and far too much güey!

A lot of frustration and helplessness, the rich richer, and the poor poorer. And the rich are the most stupid of all, you have a ranch but not enough weapons to defend yourself? They are the only ones who deserve what happened to them.

I don't want to offend anyone, I know that it is a tradition deeply rooted in the culture of America... but the tradition of the quinceañera should be abolished, since it is very sexist and pathetic in the century in which we live. Patriarchal and macho traditions that only put women even more in the background.

I really liked the music and the cultural part of a small town in Mexico. I recommend it also because it is a true and terrorific story.
