Having watched the first episode, I have to say, this is somewhat difficult to review, because for the first 3/4 of the episode, it feels like way too many hands in the cookie jar. Editing is extremely choppy, taking the viewer scene to scene, feeling like you've missed a fair amount of dialogue and context, and completely losing what significance the scene had, if any.
The audio is fairly rough as well. My Spanish isn't great, and having more than a few of the leads mumbling along or rambling off rapid-fire retorts of barely audible dialogue is very frustrating, even with subtitles struggling to keep up. Add to this that most of the dialogue itself is pretty cheesy or downright lazy and all this accompanied by a bland and forgettable soundtrack, and you sort of stop caring to listen further.
BUT!!! Despite this, the camera work and rare cinematography is really great, and many of the older actors put in incredible performances despite the material. AND!! In the final 1/4 of the episode, the visuals and effects really stand out and grab your attention and the editing finally stops jumping around long enough to give you one great, cohesive finale to fill you with enough mystery and intrigue to want to come back for another episode or two just to see where it's going!
Give it a shot, but keep your initial expectations VERY low.
