Review of La embajada

La embajada (2016)
7/10
Very good series
24 July 2016
The writing, production design and overall content of this series is very good. The international setting of Thailand adds to the mystery and surprise element. The plot is well-paced and the corruption denounced is actual and appropriate: corruption is alive and kicking in most countries in the world. The acting is good, modulated in general, since the series doesn't try to show screaming, shouting-out-loud characters. On the contrary, the conniving, silences, pauses, and sexuality of the characters add to the lies and corruption. Nevertheless, the enjoyment of an interesting and well-written dialogue is TOTALLY DESTROYED by the HORRENDOUS DICTION (in Spanish, of course) of actors Úrsula Corberó (who plays daughter Esther) and Maxi Iglesias (who plays the brother of Eduardo, the villain in the series): It's not their accent, it's the way they deliver their lines, absolutely NOT trained as actors. It's amazing how these two individuals are hired as actors. The rest of the actors do a fine, professional job.
