Suspenseful and intriguing drama/thriller with big-name cast giving nice interpretation
3 February 2022
Pretty good thriller series with big-name creative talent , unstopped intrigue , emotion , mayhem and suspense . This ¨Todos Mienten¨ or "They All Lie" or ¨You Shall Not Lie¨ (World-wide, English title) is a thriller with a lot of twists and turns. The series is set in Belmonte , a posh little town on a coastal location , where everyone knows too much of everyone else's business . Things get especially heated when a video is seen by everyone on the internet . As the peaceful life of the residents of the coastal urbanization of Belmonte changes radically the day a sex video of Macarena (Irene Arcos) , a school teacher, and (Iván Lucas Nabor) , one of her young students, appearing strong images uploaded on the internet . This event shakes the lives of all of them, especially Macarena, the woman who ends up involved into a complex plot , who becomes suddenly isolated , including his family and Ana (Natalia Verbeke) and Diego (Ernesto Alterio) , her best friends and Iván's parents . Things go wrong when a body appears next to the coast . Along the way , Macarena becomes involved in most intrigues and conflicts.... Whose body is it? Does this death have something to do with the sex video of the teacher and the student? . A Secret Has Many Guilty Parties

Top-notch , tense television series in which step by step the suspense and mystery stars to be unfolded until a moving finale with no rest . This is a compelling thriller series , and it unspools within a tight-knit community of friends and colleagues , being formed by 6 episodes with plenty of tension , intrigue , shocks , plot twists and known actors providing terrific acting . Dealing with some twisted love scenes uploaded on the networks , but even things in the town get even more complicated when the lifeless body of one of Belmonte's inhabitants shows up on the cliff . Well paced series with a lot of surprises that will have you on the edge of your seat from start to finish . It is a highly cerebral and mysterious thriller filled with cliffhangers , plot twists and unexpected denouement un its ending part . The original as well as entertaining premise is overspread throughout the movie , adding some brief convencional pitfalls . This stunning series is frankly fine , though sometimes confusing and repetitive, as well as adequate runtime , as six long episodes turn out to be enough . Main and secondary cast are pretty good , giving over-the-top acting . Stars Irene Arcos as a school teacher who is repudiated by her family and neighbors . Remaining cast are awesome , such as : Leonardo Sbaraglia as cuckold and bewildered husband , Ernesto Alterio as father of the missing teen , Natalia Verbeke as the desperate mother , Juán Diego Botto as a sly advocate , the latter married to Miren Ibarguren as a cop woman , Eva Santolaria , her hubby played by Jorge Bosch and Lucas Nabor as Iván , among others .

It displays a luxurious and colorful cinematography by Julián Elizalde , shot on location in Tarragona, Barcelona, Tarragona, Girona , Catalonia, Spain. As well as moving and atmospheric musical score by Arnau Bataller , including some songs sung by Marisol and Mari Trini . Being well finaced by Filmax and Movistar Plus , it recently premiered at Vitoria Festival and will feature in this year's Beta Film Mipcom lineup as a market screening before airing on Television. The series was well written , produced and directed by Pau Freixas , as it marks the latest offering from this great creator , one of Spanish TV's most prolific creators now working as a showrunner. Freixas is a good Spanish TV director who has written , produced and directed important series , such as : Días de Navidad , Citas , La Fuga , Pulseras Rojas, Los Misterios de Laura , Hermanos y Detectives , Ris Cientifica and the successful Se Quién Eres "I know who you are". And occassionally for cinema , such as : Heroes , Cámara Oscura , and Cactus . Rating 7/10 . Better than average . Well worth watching .
