riveting from the minute I started watching, and I am not a TV fan, do not do Netflix or telly, I came across a review in a newspaper stating series 2 was starting here on Ch 4 and how good it was; I only really started watching in order to practise my Spanish (using the subtitles to cheat) however from series 1 episode 1 I was hooked. It is compulsive viewing I became addicted and quite antisocial, it is gripping, shocking, at times sensual, brilliantly acted and challenging to watch. Great sound track and some wonderful dark humour. The ending of the final episode of the second series was dreadful and I am not sure how I will last till series 3 starts! I have nothing to compare it with but it is utterly brilliant - if not for the faint hearted.
... View MoreThis is an amazing show! Wonder if they are still filming a 3rd season? The characters are very well played and the story line is very dramatic and action packed. The actors are make you wither fall in love with them or hate them, to me that is a guarantee of great acting. Highly Recommended! More Vis A Vis, Please!
... View Morevery good and thrilling, really gets you to watch all episodes. It should be seen in the original Spanish format to get the best out of it. I do not want to disclose any spoilers, but it is surprisingly good written and captivates the attention of the viewer until the last minute. It is not only about the life in a prison but also about how the things that happen in life are interlinked and have unexpected consequences leading a normal family into a turmoil of events that puts everything upside down in their life, with the most unexpected consequences for all and each of the involved characters. At some point you may even lose the usual perspective about who are the good guys and who are the real friends inside a prison. Like in life, you must be ready to establish deals for survival with whoever may give you a helping hand in a given moment; friend or enemy.
... View MoreEvery time i logged in Netflix, Vis a Vis appeared on the main page but as soon as a read the story line i thought this must be the Spanish version of Orange is the New black but now after watching following the TV show i can say that i was so wrong. I decide to five it a try and was the best decision i could made. Such an interesting story, great cast, with no doubt one of the best Spanish productions.I have to say that the leading characters of both TV shows are alike and as you know both happens inside a prison but besides that there is nothing similar between them which is a good thing a must say. Im not exactly a fan of Orange is the new black, is more kind of a comedy with some drama while Vis a Vis is a thriller, darker than OITNB, this one is full of intrigue, lies, fights, deaths.You all should watch it..
