Not that bad at all 😑
asifthevamp22 May 2020
Have some patience and give it a try without reviewing just for upvote Or Helpful...This show is great. Little bit slow sometimes but you will not get bore for sure.. CLIMAX wasn't that great as per my expectations..but still this show is worth watching..

Nice Series! That You will not be bored when watching it!!
ZeyadElgmal0123 May 2020
Warning: Spoilers
The show is so good actually that discusses important topics in it, with nice way of showing it!. I really enjoyed it a lot, worth watching actually, every character was amazing, but the end made me ultra sad actually, it should be better, and luis death was too sad for me, Javi deserved happy ending but I think it is karma after all!, Raúl did all this "killing two and end many people life!" to empress Sofia Which was simply amazing. I think the story is good but it could be better in another way actually. But in total nice show, you should see it during quarantine!

A TV series about teens, for teens.
imdb-860915 June 2020
Started to watch this show without any expectations. The first two or three episodes got me hooked. Then, little by little, it started to feel more of the same episode after episode. And I must confess that i felt disappointed at the end. There's a lot of situations unlikely to happen in real life or all of the sudden as they are portraied in there. It's also technically inaccurate and many things are just impossible in real life. Psychologically heavy sometimes and incoherent. Don't get me wrong, the show, the characters the locations, the plot, captivate the audience very easily. It's worth watching if you're young (under 18 maybe), don't understand much about computer/technology and don't think much about the details. Then, you may love this show. Otherwise you will probably find it a bit of a waste of time.

Season 3 More of the Same
PalmBeachG9 July 2022
So Season 3 is more of the same with it continuing on until Graduation Day. Am disappointed with the relationships and has more whodunit mystery but kind of predictable. It is only a short season 3 with 8 episodes and enough is enough. Just when you think it is all over there is one last scene which suggest a season 4 may be coming but this should be enough really.

Lost a point for the very end
kipfkq21 July 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Okay I'm not the screenwriter here and whilst Raúl did everything, destroyed everything, had Sofía destroy everything just so he can continue sleeping with her bothers me. I think Javier is 100% correct right. Sure there are way too many unanswered questions which I'm okay with. Yes Javier had Natalia. But he certainly is still very much in love with Sofía. He would've kicked Nat to the kerb for Sofi.

I guess I was on Team Javi and I lost. Bitter about it too. They need to have like a special in a year or two correcting this anomaly.

Well done!!
ec199423 May 2020
Each episode just gets better and better. Highly intriguing, good plot and subplot which make you watch until the end. I binged it in a day! There are a few plot holes, if you can ignore, 10/10 highly recommended!!

very nice effort
debrianscud23 May 2020
As a mexican spectator I can only ask for more quality content of this kind. maybe its biggest flaw is a somewhat lack of originality, but it's a nice show for binge watching. great acting, great production, some predictable stuff and some unpredictable plot twists too.

overall: nice.

it's okay
zoiladfm26 May 2020
Tbh i didn't expect that much so i guess it's an ok series, the plot has a lot of similarities to any other teen tv show you could've already ever possibly watched so yeah, it's the regular kinda good. You don't get bored watching it, but also you don't get that much into it... idk

Not the regular Mexican TV Show
super_chiko24 May 2020
I'm mexican, so, for everyone out there saying that these actors look nothing like mexicans and all that, well that's the diversity of Mexico, we have people of all kind of color, race, ethnicity, social class. Mexico is not the typical stereotype of sombrero, mariachi, burro and that kind of stuff, and I love that Netflix is pitching TV shows that show this diversity, shows like this and El Club, also from Netflix, does that.

Now the show is really great, it's not a very original concept, but the themes and problematics are really important, not many mexican shows touch them. It's not a perfect show, but it's different. Obviously it has influences from Gossip Girl and Elite, so it makes it really interesting, the execution could be better though.

People should watch this, El Club, Ingobernable, Monarca, La Casa de las Flores and Club de Cuervos to see how diverse Mexico is.

This was quite good.
LukeCustomer222 June 2020
It reminded me of Veronica Mars, but imho better. Sofia is an outsider dealing with her own issues and going to high school. She is not the daughter of a PI but tends to be observant. One day a mystery comes up that engulfs her school and she and the new kid (sort of Wallace) set about to solve the mystery.

Each episode was well thought out and added to the last one. This also fixed some of the problems in VM. The mystery would be important to teens but no one else. Thus viewers wouldn't be wondering why the FBI wasn't showing up. The mystery was solvable if you paid attention and didn't involve cheating the audience. The explanation was perfectly paced for an entire episode so it felt earned.

I was shocked to discover this takes place in Mexico? Wow, I will not be seeing Mexico the same way again. Definitely worthy.

There are series that are a lot worst than this
pedrogouveia-6253023 May 2020
A Netflix's serie that doesn't totally represent Mexico's people and culture. Although being common, approaches some issues that are always important to remind that exists in this world. Not diverse though, which can be a thing to improve. Compensates with the great production and direction in Episode 3. Huge scene. Looked very real.

I had some doubts (?)
beatriz_youssef2 June 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Two things I did not understand: 1) Why the hacker instead of sharing all his friends secrets, kill a innocent boy and destroying everyones lives (his included), just did not ask the girl out or maybe show some respect for her and her family when she needed the most? I bet she would like you much more dude. I quite don't understand this type of relationship. That one person to everything wrong to make the other just to call attention. 2) wtf how a boy manage to kill another boy with a lot of students and teachers in the same place? He is a teenager!!! And apparently he is strongly than hulk, because among a lot of people (I think they here trying to save the other boy, right?) he still manage to kill a guy.

13 reasons why + elite = control Z
aboalhyjaa9 June 2020
Why the bas rating? Its actually very good. The only bad thing that the actors are too old to be in high school.

Surprisingly good...
diegocoda8 August 2021
When I watch the trailer I highly believe it was the Mexican version of Elite, and I wasn't wrong, but this TV show I found more interesting than Elite, the actors are really good and way better than in the Spanish TV show, the story is original until one point and the season 2 have the same level as season one or I even could say better, way better than elite.

You will hate the hacker, but then you WILL LOVE H...!! IT!
jere_zabala26 May 2020
It has some failures, but the plot keeps getting better each chapter, specially when we know the hacker, and there's a plot twist, and u understand many things, and that people can change, and that life is not black and white. There are some moments(only a few ones) where the cinematography and the edition are impresive and beautiful. Michael Ronda is a great actor, nice to see him landing in a Netflix show. I wait another season.Netflix please don't cancel it! u cancel all good shows :( The main character (the girl) is like sherlock female for teens, I loved that.

It's a bit slow for first few episodes, but the episodes are getting better. the climax wasn't what I expected but it was quite dark. it was worth to watch.

Couldn't stand this Sofi girl.
snigdha-dk507 June 2020
Warning: Spoilers
She's supposed to be smart, pretty, attractive, etc. I saw none of those things in her. I'll give her that she appeared to be smart at the beginning of the show and I thought she was this Sherlock like character which will be super interesting to watch. She is the protagonist after all. But nothing was done to expand on that and it just fizzled away. None of the kids had any backstories explained. Why were they the way they were? Hell, what was the deal with Sofi and her dad? Absolutely nothing even about the main character. And romanticizing bullying? Just no!! Why would Luis like Gerry? Let's be real, the guy had nothing going for him on top of a horrible personality with an extremely violent streak. Who even writes these shows? Just bad, overall. P.S. am I the only one who was annoyed any time Sofi said anything?

Javier Javier Javier
pinjasaa25 May 2020
Warning: Spoilers
The show deserves a 6/10 rating (if even that) but as Javier deserves every single one of those 10 stars, I have no choice but to give this a great rating.

All I'm saying is that Javier was a loyal, helpful, caring sweetheart from start to finish and the way Sofi treated him was trash and she just never deserved him in the first place. She was supposed to be super smart and all but in the end she was so stupid and oblivious it was just irritating. Also, @ everyone attacking Javi and calling him a murderer, sure, peer pressure sucks and Javi was dumb and he shouldn't have acted the way he did BUT it wasn't all his fault. (Others wanted the guy to jump too!) It's obvious it's something he regrets and feels guilty about but let's be real, if I decided to jump off a balcony for example and ended up dying, I would be the person who made that happen, not the people possibly cheering me on.

Pretty much every character in this show was ridiculously annoying and selfish. For a bit, Raul really had it going for him but obviously he just had to screw it up. Luis and Javier were the only exceptions. The two of them really deserved better and if there'll be a season 2, Javier better be alive and well and Sofi better apologize to him for all the bs she put him through and just seriously all I expect is a happy Javier.

IT'S NOT TO BAD
paolaola-1264226 May 2020
Warning: Spoilers
The serie has many things of different series most of them are from scream and they want to take some part also of you because that obsseion to have the girl is too maniac, but I like it. In my opinion they need to do more argument to the serie but instead they caption the atencion in many parts.

AVERAGE
sunildaswaney-636421 June 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Everything about this show was at best average.I just could not fathom how a complete wimp of a principal could be allowed to continue as the head of the college while breaking the rules himself. I expected quite a lot from this series but was disappointewith the end result.
