This is one of the best drama productions I have ever seen. I cannot understand the negative reviews other than that they are from people who entered this series with the wrong expectations.
Admittedly, the title of this series may put you on the wrong foot. This is not a story about heroes and not a story about heroic actions, even though I do not see anyone performing actions like the four guys in this story.
This series depicts a solid story of four friends, all in some way traumatized by war. After this war they find each other again in a common goal, finding a friend who presumably died some years ago.
From there a story develops about finding not only a lost friend, but also about what each of the four has lost in the past. Combine this with a search in de jungle of Colombia, ecountering a cult and a druglord, and you really get a very good story.
The story on the background of each of the main characters is being told through flashbacks. One can easily overuse flashbacks, but in this series they balance well with the current storyline and they help to get a better understanding. The pace of the evolving story is just right for ten episodes. It's only if you see good stories like fastfood, that your probably will be disappointed. Take your time and you will find that there's a purpose to almost every scene and the whole storyline feels balanced.
Acting, dialogues, scenario, photography, are just rock solid.
There are some minor weak points in the ninth episode, when there is some action between the goodies and the baddies, but nothing that would ruin the story.
Definitely recommended.
PS If you only see half of the first episode and stop after that to write a poor and pointless review, ... just don't. Don't give a story a chance if you don't want to, just don't bother letting others know about your opinion. It has no value.
