Very interesting plot in this one, why people here compare it to la casa de papel, I have no idea. Totally different style, plot, people, scenery... I feel like almost all the characters did their job, acting was on point. I only had a problem with Linda and Jack, sometimes it just did not feel real enough for me to care about them. Dante and santito really made this up for me, especially santito with all his crazyness, well acted. The gangs, the rivarly, this a good "touch" on the series, made all of it more realistic. I wish I knew Mexican, tho i only had eng subs and it was fine for me. If I have to pull some negativity out from the series, its Dante's fighting skills, he is a ex-marine. I was kind of waiting for him to a bit more physically strong in fights but... All in all, totally worth watching! :)

Copy of el marginal with different actors and americanised by making the kidnapped girl daughter of u.s judge otherwise its same story in same scenery even down to the props used in the sets can't be bothered to watch anymore as I'm just playing spot the difference instead of enjoying a drama

Above average nonsense that keeps you watching, despite yourself, manages not to descend into total silliness or incoherence as so many of these shows do. Enjoyable.

I dont expect Netflix to become HBO (although I wish it did!), but small productions like this justify the monthly subscription. Everything about this show is mediocre, but the pace is good and the actors help along with the script to create interesting characters. It is similar to casa di papel in this way, without the beautiful ladies! Not a bad show to spend your time.

I created this account on IMDB just to write this review cos I loved the show!!! First of all this serie always keeps you intrigued especially with the awesome Santito! It never gets boring and is always on the edge! Definitely 100% deserves more recognition!!!! I hope this series puts out the second season ASAP!!! Santito BETTER be in 2nd season or it'll be ruined! Absolutely love his craziness!!!! I loved pretty much every bit of this series!! Definitely a MUST WATCH!! Thanks to all who made it!! SANTITO IN ENGLISH IS JUST A FUNNY MOFO HANDSDOWN!!!!! Yup... Literally obsessed!! Bring more to the table ASAP! THANKS EVERYONE WHO MADE THIS FOR BRINGING SOMETHING FINALLY DECENT TO WATCH!!

Very badly played. Except some inmates. I guess budget was really low. The kidnapping girl is so So bad in this. Don't expect a série like casa del Papel. It's 2 diff world.

Is not better than La Casa de Papel as some people might say. The acting sometimes is very, very bad. The storyline is interesting, but I find it a bit chaotic. Hands down for the actor which plays Santito. He should really make it to Hollywood. And... let's not forget his line: "i kill you with my teeth".

What a classic. However, my classics are: Repo Man, Big Meat Eater, Trailer Park Boys . . . the cheesier the better. The characters are all brilliant. The lip synching straight outta a 60's Godzilla flick. The dialogue is perfect. Plot tight tight tight. So much to love. Perfect.

I started watching this in dubbed English which was absolutely terrible. I switched to Spanish and to be honest it wasn't much better. For some reason I persevered and watched the series, I wouldn't mind those few hours of my life back!

The show is ridiculous right from the start, given that Lazaro would even agree to undertake such a mission for...a judge? that he is completeley loyal to and for whose daughter he would risk his life? Why? The acting by some, like the Nazis, and the judge's bodyguard Jack, and the judge's daughter, is often atrocious. However, the show does have some hilarious dialogue that is very Mexican-slang centered, words like "puñetas" get thrown around and there are funny insults and one-liners thrown around mainly by Tavares and by Peniche the prison director, those characters are just...funny. Roxana the sexy assistant and Marcial the prison guard also have their moments -all in all the show has this underlying comedic element that just works in a weird way. The main actor who plays Lazaro/Dante holds his own in an understated way, and Santito does too but he can be too much and you grow tired of his antics. The depictions of the prison living conditions and the MS type gang are interesting although not sure how accurate.
