Netflix hit hard with El Silencio, a 6-episode mini-series that follows Sergio, a young man who hasn’t spoken since he killed his parents six years ago. Today, a psychiatrist tries to reveal the truth by conducting his own investigation. A psychological thriller that invites us to enter the psyche of this character to understand the reasons for his actions.
The series is an unvarnished critique of corruption, society and anyone who controls it. It depicts a marginal, a person who is not designed to live in society. Surrounding Sergio (Aaron Piper) are equally troubled people who are masters of manipulation.
If it topped the most viewed series on the platform two days after its release, El Silencio is dividing subscribers, as evidenced by the comments on the AlloCiné page.
With an average rating of 3/5, he has as many fans as opponents. The latter reproach him for not going far enough in his portrayal. When others praise him for his twists and turns:
“Disappointment! Golden theme, golden plot, golden idea. But everything was sloppy. There are so many inconsistencies in the episodes that it became embarrassing. Too many stories in the main story.
It is impossible to develop in 6 episodes, which gives the impression of a half-done job. Disappointment, indeed! It could have been an extraordinary series. It is a pity that such an idea was destroyed in this way. “ (Irstus)
“A dark and fascinating psychological thriller, as the Spaniards know it. Aaron Piper, who I already adored in the series “After You, Chaos”, offers an extraordinary performance here. The rest of the cast is just as good. The script is full. With suspense that intrigues the audience from the first minutes and a top producer. The series , which I highly recommend!” (lia)
“How do I make trash with a gold object? Obviously the designers of this series have a secret… We could have had a psychological plot that plays on the springs of the human soul and instead what is it? A bad script with twists. For a 4 year old, inane dialogue and sluggish acting that is all over your face Maintains one expression.
To get rid of this pensum, I watched the latest episode in fast motion and it justifies everything: also incoherent. In short, the Z series, but one of the worst that takes itself seriously. Without a doubt, we’re on Netflix. (Agnes Bonnet)
“An entertaining series that sins by falling into silliness, spectacular and scripted means (adding glamorous toxic relationships). It’s too bad, because the basic plot was quite promising and the suspense remains pleasant. The series could have benefited a lot. More sober.” (moss sari)
“A little psychological series, as we like it. From the first scene, the picture is drawn. The series is shocking, twists in every episode, the rhythm is good. The feelings are intertwined, we don’t know who we love and who we hate anymore. Sergio is not the only ambiguous character. But in the end we get answers, but Not all of them. We really want a second season!” (ink)
“Big disappointment for this Spanish series. Script out of sequence, missing actors. Scenes worthy of a TV movie to watch lying on the sofa on a Sunday afternoon…we’re leaving”. (Gwennael Simon)
It remains only that the end of the series managed to get people talking on social networks and left everyone with the opportunity to make their own interpretation. Here is ours.
