Bandidos

This show exceeded expectations. I cannot begin to understand why it only has a 6.5 (at the time of review) rating. It has the right mix of action, comedy, interesting characters, adventure, and plot twists (though the last one is pretty obvious).

The "mix" is the key here. There have been a lot of similar shows and movies lately that botch this mix. Take "Obliterated" which went over-the-top humor during extremely violent scenes, making it repulsive and offensive to watch. Or the Brad Pitt movie "Bullet Train", which did the very same thing. It is OK to have some jokes here and now during the action, to give a sense of bravado. But the excessive comedy makes it cruel and unwatchable.

This show maintains an appropriate level of suspense, peril, levity, and comedy, that is just...works.

The characters are interesting, the story is engaging, the romances are endearing. Definitely better than a 6.5.

It continues to baffle me how people will watch a show dubbed into their own language (mostly native english speakers will do that), and then complain about the "poor" acting. Are you really that dense?

Also, it continues to amaze me how little apprecation people have for other peoples' cultures. Let me break it down for you: Different countries different idiomas, different ways of speaking and acting, and different jokes.

I thought this series was absolutely lovely, it was never meant to be a serious crime series, it was purely meant as comedy. Kind of like many, mány north-american treasure hunting story tries to attain.

The acting was more than fine, if you can just try to get rid of your culural bias for once. You might learn someting and actually be entertained by this little gem. (No pun intended;)

Also: absolutely loved the musical score, many south- and meso-american classics, well done!

The scenery was ofcourse very appealing to look at , I mean, who doesn't like the Caribean??

Except for some negative nancy's who will always give bad reviews to ANY foreign series.

I was completely engrossed in the series from start to finish. The characters were exceptionally well-written and portrayed with incredible talent. While the storyline felt unique, I couldn't help but wish for a bit more excitement at times, although the stellar acting more than compensated for it. Among the standout performances, Ester Expósito as Lilí truly shone, delivering an engaging portrayal that was nothing short of exceptional, particularly in her role in Bandidos. It's evident that the production team spared no expense, as the series boasts high production values throughout. Bandidos undoubtedly ranks as one of the best series I've seen recently, and its quality certainly warrants a second season.

A heist series from mexico! It seems most of the guests staying at the resort hotel are looking for a lost treasure. Even one of the employees. And we learn right near the start that one of the guests even has a map of where the treasure is. As usual, there's the computer guy, the athletic one, the genius, the diver...etc. It gets pretty silly in episode three, but i won't give any spoilers. And the group keeps getting bigger. Every time they bring in another person, they have to give away more of the treasure. Lots of cussing, but this has one of the best english dub tracks i've ever heard! Story is a bit silly, but it's fun if we just go with the flow. Really fun. Will they ever find the treasure? Directed by adrian grunberg. Story by pablo tébar. It looks like there will be a season two! Although this season one stands on its own just fine.

It wasn't easy but the Spanish actress did it again. Her interpretation of Lilí is another gift for lovers of good cinema, good series and good theater.

Although it may seem difficult, Ester Expósito once again teleports us to a unique interpretive universe and each scene she stars in is a new poetry, once again exceeding all expectations.

Lilí will be accompanied by a very special group of Bandits. This group of Bandits is headed by Alfonso Dosal. They will face all the necessary obstacles to find the keys they need to reach an ancient treasure related to the Mayan culture.

Will they achieve their goal?
