My current NetFlix binge is La Piloto, a Spanish language subtitled Univision crime soap opera. Here are some fragmented thoughts about it:
I couldn't find a review of La Piloto on an English language website. There are some in Spanish so I decided to post my thoughts in a fragmented review and use Google to translate it to put it on a fan Facebook page.
----- SPOILERS!-----
I am on episode 69 watching on Netflix here in Oregon. The show is a Univision soap opera. It has the excellent production values, beautiful scenery, the most screen chewing over- acting possible, and the sappiest repetitive soft piano music for the love scene soft-focus flashbacks.
When I started watching I kept waiting for the story to wrap up and for the many psychopaths to get killed or caught. Finally, after 20 or so hours of viewing when they all kept escaping I checked and discovered there are 80 episodes. I keep wanting to give up in frustration but am hooked.
I was happy to see Capitán Argüelles the crooked cop, shot, although it was sad that his honest police officer son Raul finally discovered this had to shoot him in self-defense, and got paralyzed in the shootout.
At last Óscar, trafficker chief John's younger brother, is dead, being too dumb to learn how to parachute properly. Poor Óscar whose barely concealed erotic love for John could never be returned in kind.
It is frustrating to see how utterly gullible the heroes are. Why couldn't they see the numerous clues that Zulima was betraying them? Only Yolanda's mother Estela saw through her. Estela is the winner of the most narcissistic mother award. I keep wanting Yolanda's beloved Auntie Rosabla or Yolanda doesn't slap her silly.
It was fun to watch honest Federale police lieutenant and the heroes partner, Mónica Ortega, discover by necessity her inner-badass when she ends up in prison and inmates she arrested were trying to kill her. Now she's the queen of the prison.
What makes the storyline so impossible is the numbers of times John Lucio and Colonel Santamaria are able to escape. Come on, Óscar being able to sneak onto the DEA airplane to free the escape artist John. John should have been wrapped in chains with multiple locks which couldn't be opened until he got to Miami.
Of course, the story is driven by the obsessions three men have with Yolanda. John's was so gullible to believe Óscar that she betrayed him and then wanting her dead was quite a stretch to believe possible.
More credible was the psychology of the most psychopathic bloodthirsty character Colonel Santamaria. He is an absolute psychopath with no redeeming features. His relentless quest for revenge because Yolanda spurned him was ridiculous.
The other total psychopath happens to be a woman. Zulima, whose treachery from trying to get John to kill Yolanda to actually murdering Amanda was finally exposed to all the women partners she betrayed in episode 70. Heroine Yolanda thought they were best friends until Zulima tried to shoot her in the episode I just watched. As that episode ended she stole a light plane and Yolanda was chasing her in another airplane.
I am starting to like Arley Mena, the number three in the Lucio gang, because he obviously regrets shooting his girlfriend Amanda (who Zulima killed) and wants to take care of his baby.
I can't wait to see how this ends. The big question, assuming Yolanda stays out of prison, is whether she will end up with John, or put another way, who Dave Mejia will end up with, Yolanda who somehow avoids not going to prison or the wrongly convicted Mónica who will certainly get out of jail.
I think Mónica would be best for him because her love is the deepest.
