I watched all the seasons and I can just say that at the end of season or maybe at the start a person suffers and police spends 8 episodes figuring it out . Here clearly the kids are seen outsmarting the police and adults which is absolutely incorrect .
Besides , this show depicts exactly what happens in s teen's life but in a much less fancy manner . As far as acting is concerned yes they were great at making sex feel realistic , the drugs and alcohol sends the message that they could be in such a state in reality ,so overall yes the account was great of some cast members like Guzman and somewhat Samuel .
In first season directors wave is to have sympathy with Mariana but sorry it wasn't just possible , the actor could not portray the role of such a women but rather she should have been given a role of powerful women because she suited that role .
Besides , Samuel does a good job acting , Omar looks innocent but isn't , Nadia is pretty good but a bit oposite of what she could have been, I mean she could have played a better role with Guzman and they seem to easily break up in season 4 .
Polo could habe been more realistic and his relationship with Clara could have been just more passionate .
Christian disappears from the whole series but he did a good job acting and performing couldn't have been any better .
Overall , I would recommend that if you are into a teen's life but a bit fancy then I would definitely recommend it and if are just looking for a more intense kind of thing this could be it , overall " yes " I would recommend it .
