A great effort. Cunning ingenious crafted script, fast paced. though it relies on make-believe contrived stuff to kick the plot ahead. Exciting from beginning to end.

Antonio Santos is a Spanish man who is arrested in Bogota carrying drugs through the airport... he isn't an ordinary drug mule though; he intended to be caught. His five year old adopted daughter, Soledad, was kidnapped thirteen years previously and he has been led to believe that a man who knows something about it is in jail in Bogota. When his ex-wife learns where he is she too flies to Bogota and, with the help of a lawyer starts looking into Soledad's adoption. We also see that Soledad is alive and well living with an actress and her drug lord husband; an incident leads to her questioning her past.
I found this to be an entertaining series; its premise may be a little far-fetched but it works to provide plenty of exciting and dangerous situations; in particular for Antonio in the tinder box environment of the jail. There is a good amount of action in every episode. The characters are fun in a slightly exaggerated way. The cast is solid making the characters believable. The locations are good, especially the jail... I have no idea what real Colombian jails are like but if they are anything like the one depicted here they are scary and dangerous places! Overall I'd recommend this to fans of tense dramas who don't mind melodramatic elements.
These comments are based on watching the series in Spanish with English subtitles. -
Guanche4810 August 2022I finished watching the series very quickly, despite being 11 episodes. Lots of action and very exciting moments! That makes time pass very quickly while you are watching it.
I have not scored it a nine because the story becomes somewhat unrealistic, but at the same time it remains very interesting as well.
The actors are exceptional and the story is very detailed and very well edited, so you don't miss the why, when and how.
In short, don't miss it if you like strong emotions and action thrillers. -
sunildaswaney-636422 December 2020The second half of this web series was definitely more gripping and interesting than the first half.With better editing the series could have been reduced from 11 episodes to 10.Everything else was good but not great about this show.

I am an avid follower of Latin American and Spanish cinema, so this combination produced huge dividends. Although the series and films made, produced and directed by Latin Americans tend to carry that "soap opera" style, this series surprised me. Not because I don't have this "cliche", but because the actors make a good effort to get rid of that typical "cliche". The series has a dizzying pace that makes the viewer immerse themselves in the story, plus the soundtrack is very good. Daniel Grao's performances as "Antonio Santos", Pedro Suarez as "Prison Guard Molinos" and Antonio Mora as "Enrique" are far above average. In short, a very good series that touches on a very sensitive subject, but that is still an example of things that happen in real life. For me, one of the best Spanish series on Netflix and if you want to classify it as "Latin American", due to the use of Latino actors, it is in the top 3 after Narcos and Distrito Salvaje.

MAD_PIGE0N18 November 2020I hoped the show is good, but the plot amazed me of how the facts and events surpassed my expectations and twisted the story, but here I should stop mentioning more, as it will be a slight spoil. Just expected the unexpected from the kidnapped kid's life and his surrounding.
The acting is just as needed to be, the characters are of multiple kinds, which makes it colorful, the scenes are well filmed. I can't think of anything that should give this show less than 10 stars as for its kind, there isn't a single weak point. -
doncigano26 June 2020Very intense and great story! enjoyed every episode!
-
anibose6 November 2020The Latin American movies have an art of storytelling. This web series is no exception. With excellent a ring. A must see.
-
natxolo24 January 2021Good start, but it gets even more interesting and intriguing as you go. Good script, with many twists and surprises that you don't expect. Highly recommended.
-
pazcur28 October 2020Look I love to watch Colombian film and series but when a director needs to use music in every scene to force the mood you know the script and direction are lacking.
Perdida is watchable and the story is somewhat interesting albeit convoluted like a novela. -
Excited excited I recommend you to watch it cuz its one of the best short shows on netfilx i have ever seen
-
dopeshows17 January 2021Amazing series, very interesting, unexpected plot & amazing acting. 10/10 for me, this show hasn't got any weak spots.

stuartgkirkpatrick21 November 2020Top notch production, even if the story is a littler far fetched. Will keep you hooked to the end, even if it is predictable
Great set up for second series. -
ciprian79-197-63623830 October 2020After 2 or 3 episodes you realise that you're watching an action telenovela (or "soap opera", whatever you want to call it). I wouldn't be surprise to find out, at the end, that all of them are brothers and sisters :)

linalviar1 April 2024Highly recommend it! Amazing acting, cinematography, story line with lots of twists!
Also love the fact that it's a short and sweet series only 12 episodes!
My favorite was Cruz , and there is just so much emotion in this show. So many surprises. I was into Disappointed with the fact that the Spaniard had to service a sentence at the end :(... why didn't he just scape? He was already Out of jail.
Also, I wish she would have stayed with the real mom and go visit her adopted mom because Milena raised her for more years and she was her real mother . Hoping we can enjoy more Colombian short series like these! Well done and thank you! -
Horror_Flick_Fanatic8 November 2020I found this telenovela to be tedious to watch and the premise idiotic. Seems like an excuse to make a narco trafficking gangster soap opera. Why would a sane man get themself convicted of a serious crime to find the whereabouts of his daughter when he can find out so much more on the outside without the restrictions of prison? Wifey guilted him into this flawed plan? seriously? Does the story have a plot mcguffin to free him from prison for a happy ending at the end? Then there is the defence attorney, a walking VD that makes you want to shower every time she comes on the screen.
I do watch Latin and Spanish films quite a bit, and if you are looking for cinema, this isn't it. This is more like your garden variety telenovela. If you don't like soaps, you might not like this either. -
I really liked it at first, but the 3 final episodes just ruined it. It looks like they run out of budget and hired just bad actors to play the cartel and it ended up becoming a cheap Colombian soap opera. What a shame, it was really great at the beginning.
-
athenspunk-271-81290817 November 2020Promising start but you end up to watch a Latin soap opera. Many times I had to move forward some scenes. The leading actor was too calm during the action scenes - no matter what was happening. A mix of a bad acting & non believable atmosphere.

memo-6345031 January 2021A girl chooses her adoption parents above her biological parents, who she has lived for 14 years? It doesn't make any sense
-
alecasand6 November 2020A series full of clichés, terrible performances and a story worthy of a cheap soap opera. The Spanish must stop wanting to do action series, they are not credible.
-
elizabethgascon9 November 2020Really bad serie! I kept watching just to confirm how bad the actor are. You can easily guess what is going to happen next.
-
roodysader-7585320 November 2020I liked the story but they could do better on directing and choosing better actors ....

ondoin29 December 2020Slow fake not original and full of clichés and stereotypes. Don't pay attention to the 10 star reviews.
