Ingobernable S1-S2

Episode one of this series definitely has the promise of an interesting and exciting story, but already at episode two the story falls apart. From then on the scenario is full of plot holes and has some of the worst acting and dialogues I've ever seen. The numerous sex scenes are maybe nice for those who like that, but generally they are just a waste of time as they add nothing to the story. Other than that, also this series has scenes and subplots that really make no sense at all. A group of complete amateurs raids a military secret prison without any preparation and (partially) succeed and kill all of the soldiers. Really? Credibility is also an issue in this series. Some amateur 'hacker' who all of a sudden is able to decrypt encrypted files and hack into surveillance cameras and is able to handle a full automatic weapon successfully simple by what he has learned from games? Come on. At numerous times there are timing mismatches. A mother having sex with her new found friend as she should be on her way to her daughter whom she wants to see so desperately. Really. I gave it a chance up until episode 11, but gave up. I can only think of one positive thing: generally nice photography. That however is far from enough to keep you going.

Overall the title has good action, drama, corrupt government and all that. But is is a rotten tomato because 5 simple person is beating the system and fighting three different Armies and cartel is not real. Specially a girl (Emillia) she was an X first lady and she is killing right and left everyone who gets in her way. She is defeating the whole Army, Cartel, Government and the show more looks like a Bionic woman. Basically this show is far from being Real, doesn't make sense.

I really enjoyed season 1 of this show. Sure, there was the usual overacting, but several actors turn in a decent performance. There was a lot of action. Season 2 is Weak!! They must have phoned it in because I was very bored. It is too bad.

Watched 5 minutes and turned to American Vandal because Ingobernable managed to squeeze in a fake fight scene, crashing thunder, torrential rain, lesbian action, suicide and melodramatic overwrought music and so on. I'm afraid it would be a waste of my time to watch all episodes so, going with my gut feeling, I switched. I enjoyed the last Mexican series I watched but this one is a stinker, in my books. Netflix is entitled to a few stinkers and this is one of them.

Ingobernable is a superior show. It follows a serial format with short seasons that are popular today. I watched two seasons over the course of a couple weeks, and I loved every minute. The First Lady of Mexico finds herself in the midst of intrigue that is illustrated by the dichotomy of the corrupt and powerful and those who live in fear and fight to be treated with dignity. The characters are well written and three dimensional. Each episode is fast paced. There is something about Spanish language production that have really made me a fan. They commit to the story, and go for it. Kate del Castillo leads the ensemble cast. She was in the Telemundo production of La Reina del Sur, and again delivers a strong performance. As First Lady, Emília Urquiza, she wants to fight corruption in Mexico that plagues the life of the innocents. There are twists and turns, heartache, friendships, loyalty and betrayals. The production values are stunning. Sets include a presidential palace and desperate neighborhoods. Even if you need subtitles, it's worth watching. I noted there were complaints about the subtitles. Not every sentence spoken in one language translates well to another language, but the subtitles serve the story well.

Ignore the bad reviews! This very well written, directed and cast. This was not shot in Mexico, and I impressed in how well the locations were choose. The acting in really good. The plot is decent and crude. Some pleople will say it's exagerated and unrealistic, but in Mexico worst things are happening. Kudos for Kate del castillo and the makers

Mexican First Lady Emillia (Kate del Castillo) wants to divorce her husband, the President, Diego (Erik Hayser). During a brutal argument, Diego falls from the balcony, landing on top of a car and dying. Emillia goes on the run when she realizes she is being accused of her husband's murder. She needs to find the killer and exonerate herself. She winds up in the barrio Tepito, where she is not considered very popular. Very exciting series with some wonderful performances, particularly by del Castillo in the workhorse role. Lots of great suspense and dramatic scenes as the actual story unfolds, far more complicated than Emillia could ever have imagined. Emillia has two children; her daughter, Maria (Alicia Jaziz) is gay. I have no problem with that at all, but it was completely unnecessary to the plot. Eréndira Ibarra brings an elegance and coldness to the role of Ana Vargas-West. Both she and Erik Hayser were in the series Sense8. There are many striking performances, particularly from Aida Lopez, Alberto Guerra, and Tamara Mazarraza. Looking forward to season 2.

I love this show so so so much! Kate is an amazing actress. I love hers and Canek's relationship as their love grows. Everything is corrupted and intense to watch. I finished all esp. in one day. I am telling you it is that good and I cannot get enough of it. This show made me felt like I was part in their show because this show does connect you in every different ways.

I upped the rating to counter the 1 or 2 star voters. The show is genuinely not bad at all. Yes, it's full of holes but then it's a Mexican production; it doesn't have the big budget and experience of more popular series. I binge-watched the entire 15 episodes of series 1 and enjoyed it. If I have any real criticism at all, it's that E15 didn't "end" / tie up the series. The whole thing left you feeling like it had been cut mid-stream, without an appropriate resolution to the series. That is poor writing/production and, hopefully, S02 won't leave one feeling the same way at the end. It's worth a 6 or 7 out of 10.
