Hola amigos, buenas vibras para todos.
**Hello friends, good vibes to all.
The question I pose in the title isn't rhetorical: how truly detestable can someone be? I say this because this series features one of the most despicable characters I can remember ever seeing. Yes, this person is the worst in many ways. When I finished watching "His & Hers," I wanted to continue with plots that push the viewer to the brink of impatience and anticipation, only to then, towards the end, unleash the full plot twist, leaving us truly astonished and surprised. If those who watched the aforementioned Netflix series thought the ending was insane, I think they should check out this story; it's captivating and Machiavellian.
This story begins with a mother, Marissa Irvine (Sarah Snook), searching for her son, who had gone to play games one afternoon. When she arrives at the address sent to her phone by another mother, she finds that there is no child at the house, and the person who lives there knows nothing about it. Clearly, this is every mother's worst nightmare, and Marissa immediately breaks down. So, where is Milo? – this question sets in motion an investigation that will turn the entire Irvine family upside down and gradually expose all the dirty secrets of these seemingly "perfect" people.
A full-fledged psychological thriller where, from the very first episode, speculation, subplots, and the strange behavior of almost all the protagonists begin as they strive to reach the end of everything while simultaneously trying to hide things and details that will later snowball down a mountain, unstoppable and ever-growing. The level of tension is palpable because the acting is excellent; it must be said that the quality of the performances in this series is top-notch, making it easier to empathize with the characters or feel a deep-seated repulsion.
One of the key details is that we know from very early on who's behind it all, but the puzzle is missing pieces, and one of them might be within this family. The series skillfully provides clues thanks to a well-written and thoughtful script with a truly dark and weighty plot. The relationships and personalities of all these people are shaped by past events that continue to impact everything happening in the present. I can tell you right now, it's impossible to get bored; on the contrary, it's completely captivating from beginning to end. On one hand, we have the problems and secrets of this family that, from one day to the next, begin to slowly unravel, and on the other, the police investigation, which is very cool and entertaining to watch.
What are we willing to do to be happy and at peace? What are the limits of morality? Is love sufficient justification for doing all those things? These are all questions that arise and are explored throughout the plot. Obviously, there's a moral conflict running through almost the entire story, making us question everything, and that's one of the series' hooks. I assure you, you won't see the ending and the conclusion of everything coming up. With two episodes left, everything starts to unravel, and it's one surprise after another. Once again, the plot twists are at their most effective.
The characters are fantastic. Pay attention to each one because they all contribute something to this mess and chaos. I won't tell you which character is the most detestable so as not to influence your opinion, but you'll quickly start to realize it. All the acting is top-notch, and the cast is excellent (Dakota Fanning, Abby Elliott, Michael Peña, Jack Lacy, etc.). 8/10, it's a great series, with a very well-developed plot and ending. It has 8 episodes and is available on Prime Video. I've included the trailer below.
