8/10
Mostly awesome!

There is a very good job here. The scenery, the plot, the costumes, the atmosphere and the soundtrack are pretty good.

The cast is generally likable or memorable. Leoncio Almeida is an excellent villain, with his motivations, dangers, attitude, everything. He introduced good fear and threat to Isaura and the other characters. The other villains are also well done. The protagonist, Isaura, is not a bad character, but not very interesting, either. The characters which had to be sympathetic were so.

Acting in general was great. You believe them most of the time. My only complaint is Miguel, who seems to have fear all the time and has a rather lifeless interpretation.

The script was coherent, believable and catchy, the storyline was interesting and enjoyable aside from the brutal violence and the moments worked successfully. However, there is a big problem: the alternate endings system is inconsistent. When the murderer turns out to be an X character, everybody is happy even if the murderer is close to them. While Leoncio's death wasn't mishandled and there was mystery, the next chapters were somewhat tedious but entertaining.

Mostly, the show is well done, but it has a mishandled ending. Aside from that, I recommend it.
