Fugitives

You may not have heard of this show if you don't speak Spanish. Profugos is an exciting adrenaline pumping series filmed for HBO Latino. Profugos, or "Fugitives" has everything fans of Breaking Bad or The Soprano's crave. Drugs, Sex, Violence, Mystery.. it's all there. The show centers around a four guys who end up running for their lives after a botched drug deal. Excellent locations in this original series. The Atacama desert was only one backdrop selected for this heart pounding drama.

HBO did not disappoint their fans with this production. They put together the best talent available in Chile for the production. The end result is technically superb. Personally I have had the pleasure of working with HBO and OC Productions to transform Profugos into English for re-release as "Fugitives" in other countries. There is no doubt that Fugitives would be a huge hit in America. -- Zane Durant

Very gritty and violent.

The 4 fugitives male are from different background and unfriendly.

Stressful interaction between the fugitives.

nice cinematography.

A must see.

Season 2 was different and English subtitles bad.

This is a fast moving, exciting series but one that is unfortunately poorly produced. The audio and camera work is terrible and most times one is unable to hear much of what is being said, and see what is going on. The camera work seems to be handheld and at times is similar to smartphone quality. The plot is confusing in that the characters are not well defined and one has no idea who some of them are, or their role in the series. Telling the story in a less rushed manner would have made for better continuity. Choppy editing and random placements of scenes also contribute to a lack of continuity and linkage between events. Overuse of flashback scenes at the wrong times is distracting. It's not at the level of other series of the same genre e.g Narcos, El Chapo etc., and to enjoy it one has to suspend belief and not try to analyze the actions. Just go with the flow like you would in a movie of this genre that is filled with lots of gratuitous violence and sex!

Season 2 was much worse than season 1 and was thankfully the last of this very poorly conceptualized and produced series!

What a fantastic bunch of actors brought together for this show, it is the most adrenaline fueled, addictive series I have ever watched. So much excitement, the writers and producers did a fantastic job making this series, hopefully there will be more!

This series has it all, good performances, a lot of action, a lot of tension, adrenaline and also beautiful locations. I think the story gave to make a third season. Of all the Chilean series that I have seen, this is the best and the one with the highest quality. None beats Prófugos. 10 out of 10.
