Review of Monarca

Monarca (2019–2021)
7/10
Gripping series, if only it was more reflective of Mexican society
14 March 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Great narrative, the stories get more intense and gripping as they develop partly because of the ever-changing allegiances. No character comes out well, and everyone's involved in the lies and actions of the Monarca family and its dirty dealings.

I just wish the show was more reflective of Mexican society. I understand this is a show about the business elite, but Mexicans of indigenous descent are the majority in the country yet play only servants or members of organised crime in this show. I also thought the story about Andrés' sexuality is predictable and follows old homophobic tropes.

Otherwise an enjoyable watch!
