The movies starts off annoying and shaky, but it slowly builds into an intriguing story. I don't know if Alfonso has an enemy on IMDB, that accounts for the brutal and unfair 1-star ratings, but they are completely out of line. .
At first it doesn't seem like an outright mystery, more like a tragic drama. But you start to get the feeling that there is more to the story than the seemingly obvious good vs bad characters. It gets darker and more complex with each episode. To the point where I felt I had to come back here to change my original review, and add stars.
The cockroach situation is disturbing and telling.
Now for the grey cat. A minute detail, but this may be the first show I've ever seen actually depict a real cat/human relationship. How a cat is always by your side. Curious, mischievous, entertaining and tender. I really appreciate a film that doesn't caste the cat as an aloof or even as a dark presence. The grey cat in this movie has more charm than all the humans combined, and steals every scene he is in. Hope he gets an Oscar!
It's a great series and I'm all in!
