Whilst true that this series is a little bit all over the place at times, having just binged over two days, I can't say it spoiled my enjoyment of it.
The only thing that did detract from my enjoyment was that so many of the characters are unlikeable to the point that it's hard to root for their success or to feel much sympathy for them.
That aside, it's a show dripping in Spanish sunshine, with gorgeous sets and a bonkers storyline that has plenty of twists and turns. It perhaps tries to be too many things (murder mystery, family drama, drugs drama, journey of self discovery) but think of it as a buffet that lets you try bits of everything, rather than a gourmet meal with one course.
Continuing that analogy, you're bound to find something on a buffet that you enjoy. Rather than believing all the ultra-negative reviews, fill your plate for yourself and see whether there's enough for you to get your teeth into.
8/10
