Mega's most complex TV series
novelon0017 February 2020
"Juegos de Poder" is by far the most risky and daring television series that Mega has produced.

All this thanks to Luis Ponce, a screenwriter who has already demonstrated the ability to leave the viewer on the edge of the seat, as in his previous soap opera Amanda. With an intense and dizzying rhythm, high tense and dramatic content that I take advantage of this story. But all this story cannot be better adapted thanks to the director Patricio González, who manages a visual care to admire.

I cannot fail to mention the great work of each actor, from Rudolphy who once again manages to play a villain like his previous Quiroga, although Beltrán is much more complex and interesting for my taste.

Others that I liked were Patricia Rivadeneira, Ingrid Cruz, and Francisca Imboden, Roberto Farías, who all showed that they are still the best at what they do, giving great and up-to-date performances.

Without a doubt, the one who surprised the most is perhaps Augusto Schuster. That thanks to a great script and his great acting, he manages to get out of the typecasting.

The final chapter was not up to the task in my opinion, it lacked a few steps but still does not take away the feeling of having enjoyed a great story.

All the aspects that I mention make the TV series stand out among so much junk, and for that reason it is highly recommended.

This is a great teleserie.The plot changes made it unpredictable. Augusto Schuster made his best character with 'Benjamín Bennet' so far, making a psychopathically complex character and differentiating himself from his previous roles, demonstrating by far the excellent actor he is, ending stealing the TV series.

Exquisitely complex, unafraid to portray the elites' moral decay

By far, this is the best serie that MEGA has produced and it's also one of the best productions nationwide.

An exceptional script, deep and credible performances, all the actors ideally embodied their characters. The plot is a luxury; since very rarely the economic and political power of the elites is so reliably characterized on television, the same with the corruption groups and crimes concealed by them being shown so crudely.

Special mention for the actor Augusto Schuster, with his perfect and impeccable portrayal of Benjamin Bennet, by far the best character in the series: a complex psychopath with a hard background that makes you empathize with him in many of his actions. Exquisitely complex too in all his relationships, it's worth paying attention to his love story with Francisco Beltrán (Pedro Campos), who is probably the only person for whom Benjamin truly cares and genuinely loves and who acts as his greatest end in many situations. His devotion to him is such that he even decides to ignore a big secret revealed in later chapters that prevents him from being with him, only to be able to have him by his side.

The only thing that could have been better is the final chapter (a recurring problem in MEGA productions), but that doesn't detract from the excellent development of the story from the start.
