Really good acting, especially from Mescal at certain scenes.

Cinematography is the undisputed winner.

Directorship is good, but occasionally too pretentious- wanna be intellectual-and dragged out.

What makes it a basic and overhyped series for adolescents, though, is the less than basic, uninspired scenario. It reaches the point of being annoying, bleak, cheesy, and a time filler. Almost a post-lunch daytime soap opera.

It was so promising and well delivered, but if it were not for the "tick-all-the-boxes-for-film festivals," the hype, and the popularity of the actors, it would have been definitely unnoticeable.

I struggled to watch it. Half-hour episodes and had to split out in two. Proper torture.

In summary, do not watch it. Overrated mediocrity that never reached its potential.
