The Last Night at Tremore Beach

I don't care about the negative comments, well acted and brilliant series. Very well written, keeps you engaged.

"Última noche en Tremor" starts strong and manages to draw you in with its atmosphere. It has that psychological thriller vibe that makes you question everything, and the setting is really well done. Javier Rey is great—he conveys the character’s anguish without overdoing it.

What didn’t fully convince me is that, at times, the series drags on a bit too much. Some scenes feel repetitive and could have been trimmed without affecting the story. Even so, it remains entertaining and has some interesting twists.

I liked the ending, though it’s not one of those jaw-dropping conclusions. Overall, it’s a solid thriller, well-directed, and engaging, but with a somewhat uneven pace. If you enjoy this type of story, it’s worth watching.

It has an absolutely terrible pace, although it contains some effective moments, a tendency towards labyrinthine narrative and a strange obsession with making the characters whisper all the time as a reflection of their inner conflicts. But in the end it ends up offering an interesting reflection on the springs of the thriller genre, proposing an explanation that handles the uncertainty between reality and fiction well, and finally raising the commercial threats that the creation of stories in today's audiovisual media faces. It offers the version suitable for restless viewers and the one that adapts better to accommodating viewers. What in the end is an interesting experiment.

In essence, the episodes go like this: a whole amount of nothing for 50 minutes, sprinkled with flashbacks that are repeated numerous times and a shocking revelation in the last 5 minutes, a cliffhanger that is designed solely to keep you hooked for the next episode. Awfully manipulative score, too.

It should have been a 90-minute movie instead.
