Bandidos (2024– ) User Reviews

Great storyline!

[hjsmxgwy · 8/10 · 16 March 2024]

I loved Ester in Elite and her recent film last year, she's only 24 years old and she's becoming such a promising actress! The storyline for me is brilliant, love treasure hunting series outer banks that kind of thing, really hope they renew this for a second season!

They all did an amazing job the actors and actresses, so many twists and turns, good amount of action and there's room to develop a second season for sure.

It wasn't corny like most of these attempted tv series in this category, just straight up action packed fun from the get go, if you want a really good series to watch, I recommend this, also if you don't speak fluent Spanish like me watch it dubbed in your own language.

Very entertaining with very good acting. Bingeworthy

[therealhman · 8/10 · 20 April 2024]

This movie is a very good action adventure. The acting is believable, the storyline is fun, and there are a lot of good twists. The lines that are supposed to be funny are funny. A good movie to just sit down and be entertained by.

Although the story is similar to other "find the treasure" stories the writing and comedic talent of the actors delivering the lines puts a new spin on the story.

The pace is good, no plot holes, and the directing takes advantage of each actors talents.

I had no problem with the dubbing.

The cinematography is excellent.

I hope it will be renewed for another season.

Funny..

[savindradsilva · 7/10 · 1 April 2024]

Loved binging it. Was very funny in a few places, including the bike event.. but overall it was hilarious. The acting was really good and emotional at times. All the actors did a fabulous job.

The plot twists were really cool from start to end. One thing I couldn't really get is how the bad guys keep getting away.... If it wasn't those items, would have marked it 10/10. Hopefully there will be a season two.

Also Ariel looked like the footballer Kaka :)

I find the non American series on Netflix to be much better than the American ones. Especially the ones that came out more recently. Gentlemen, furies and now this one.. all very well done. And really worth the binging..

Ester Expósito. The Return.

[sportfmalaga · 10/10 · 3 April 2024]

If you like fun and different series, you will love Bandidos. If you enjoyed historical titles like Ocean's Eleven or Indiana Jones, this new Netflix production will surely not leave you indifferent. Are you a fan of Ester Expósito? Well then, this will surely quickly become your favorite series. Together with the great Alfonso Dosal, she will fight to obtain the most precious treasure, on a path full of surprises and crazy situations. Without a doubt, one of the revelations of this year 2024, which everyone is talking about. Proof of this is that its second season has already been confirmed, which will continue these first seven episodes. Bandits, without a doubt a highly recommended series.

Silly and trite...but fails to be funny

[qui_j · 2/10 · 19 March 2024]

This is yet another of the new type of Mexican series. It tries to be clever like House of Flowers but fails dismally! The script is silly and filled with predictable characters, and the events impossible to believe. Some of the scenes are just so silly, one cannot imagine it possible that the writers thought they could get away with them e.g the scene with the main character hanging from a balcony in full view of a crowd, but no one does anything. The acting is forced, the audio track barely audible, and even if viewers just went with the flow and tried to imagine it as a comedy, ignoring all the illogical and implausible twists and turns, the silliness of the plot makes that impossible to do so. The premise is that of a very watered down Indiana Jones, but the script never achieves that level of humor.....or even parody. It's just plain silly and not worth the time to watch.

Don't miss the best version of Ester Expósito in 'Bandidos'

[jgperezmlg · 10/10 · 16 March 2024]

It wasn't easy but the Spanish actress did it again. Her interpretation of Lilí is another gift for lovers of good cinema, good series and good theater.

Although it may seem difficult, Ester Expósito once again teleports us to a unique interpretive universe and each scene she stars in is a new poetry, once again exceeding all expectations.

Lilí will be accompanied by a very special group of Bandits. This group of Bandits is headed by Alfonso Dosal. They will face all the necessary obstacles to find the keys they need to reach an ancient treasure related to the Mayan culture.

Will they achieve their goal?

Unwatchable

[Gav-TB303 · 3/10 · 19 March 2024]

I've no idea who these people are marking this show a ten, I find nothing in this show to even make it average.

I know people have different tastes, but really a ten for something that's probably best suited for children aged around 10.

The acting is plastic, the script is formulated and pathetic, there is nothing here that's worth anyone's time. I've seen better TV commercials than this show.

I got through episode one, it took me three attempts to sit through episode two, I gave up eventually.... I did try, but I found it too excruciating to watch.

The characters are just unlikable, the dialog is something from a badly produced school play.

Move along, nothing to see here...

Execellent Show

[ravikumar-04447 · 10/10 · 14 March 2024]

I was completely engrossed in the series from start to finish. The characters were exceptionally well-written and portrayed with incredible talent. While the storyline felt unique, I couldn't help but wish for a bit more excitement at times, although the stellar acting more than compensated for it. Among the standout performances, Ester Expósito as Lilí truly shone, delivering an engaging portrayal that was nothing short of exceptional, particularly in her role in Bandidos. It's evident that the production team spared no expense, as the series boasts high production values throughout. Bandidos undoubtedly ranks as one of the best series I've seen recently, and its quality certainly warrants a second season.

A Treasure Hunt with Uneven Ground

[SonGoku540 · 5/10 · 29 March 2024]

Bandidos, the new Netflix series that premiered in March 2024, is a wild ride through the Mayan Riviera. It follows Miguel, a charming hustler, who assembles a ragtag team of specialists to recover the legendary treasure of the Snake King. While the series boasts some fun action sequences and a charismatic cast, it stumbles with underdeveloped plot elements and pacing issues.

The show's strength lies in its ensemble. Alfonso Dosal shines as Miguel, bringing a roguish charisma that keeps you invested. The rest of the crew provide a good mix of humor and skills. The action sequences, though not overly plentiful, are well-choreographed and exciting. The camerawork adds a dynamic energy to the fight scenes and chases.

The treasure hunt itself feels a bit underdeveloped. The series spends more time establishing the characters than building suspense around the puzzles and dangers they face. The lore of the Mayan treasure feels teased but not fully explored. The series struggles with pacing at times. Certain episodes meander, while others rush through plot points. This inconsistency can leave viewers feeling disengaged.

The production value of Bandidos is solid. The cinematography captures the beauty of the Mayan Riviera, and the score effectively blends action-thriller elements with a touch of Latin flair.

Bandidos is a fun, albeit uneven, adventure. If you're looking for a light-hearted treasure hunt with a charming cast, you might enjoy this series. However, those seeking a more suspenseful and intricately plotted adventure may be left wanting.

It's a breezy weekend watch, but not a treasure trove of storytelling.

Really entertaining, don't let the bad reviews fool you.

[Sylvia-Monique · 10/10 · 20 March 2024]

It continues to baffle me how people will watch a show dubbed into their own language (mostly native english speakers will do that), and then complain about the "poor" acting. Are you really that dense?

Also, it continues to amaze me how little apprecation people have for other peoples' cultures. Let me break it down for you: Different countries different idiomas, different ways of speaking and acting, and different jokes.

I thought this series was absolutely lovely, it was never meant to be a serious crime series, it was purely meant as comedy. Kind of like many, mány north-american treasure hunting story tries to attain.

The acting was more than fine, if you can just try to get rid of your culural bias for once. You might learn someting and actually be entertained by this little gem. (No pun intended;)

Also: absolutely loved the musical score, many south- and meso-american classics, well done!

The scenery was ofcourse very appealing to look at , I mean, who doesn't like the Caribean??

Except for some negative nancy's who will always give bad reviews to ANY foreign series.

Cringe acting and cringe script!

[brianable · 3/10 · 18 March 2024]

An Indiana Jones wannabe. I suppose if you are about 14 years of age, you might like this. Unfortunately, the over-the-top acting, bad script, and just about everything else in general, make this a series you really want to skip.

I even tried listening to the original Spanish version with English subtitles, but that didn't work either. I do have to admit, I just watched episode one. Someone would have to bribe me to continue watching this through to the very end.

If you did enjoy this, then I'm hoping you are enjoying your teenage years, and have a lot to learn. There are so many more quality series out there to explore.

Love it

[XBogdanPopescuX · 10/10 · 17 March 2024]

From the beginning to the end, you are captivated by the story. It is a very well acted series, easy to digest, a beautiful comedy with some slips in the drama, but overall it is a nice comedy. Although it looks like Indiana Jones, it is totally different, an original style, different from the Librarians, which is a plus and gives the series originality and the pleasure of watching it. I won't tell the story, but if you watch this series, I don't think you will get bored. I think even pretentious people can enjoy this series, it's fun. I would have liked to see more landscapes and action specific to the jungle. Maybe in season 2. Of course, tastes are not discussed, I gave 10 stars because in my opinion it is worth it. Enjoy!

Found this not what I was looking for or expected

[selau-57686 · 3/10 · 17 March 2024]

I came across this on netflix wanting to watch more of the same as outer banks. Episode one got my interes. However I lost interest when it the geek of the group as if he was in a computer game. That footage/graphic was not needed.

It took the excitement of the danger in a treasure hunt movie/series that outer banks provided. I am currently in season 3 and I don't want to see graphics from a computer game again. It spoiled the series for me. I am sitting here thinking if they showed the computer game footage early in the series, it is probaly contiu ed throughout the rest of the series.

I am from Australia, I am not judging how it was made. Just wondering if that computer game graphic footage is needed. Pity, I am not looking forward to finishing episode 3. But in saying this, great job to everyone involved in making it.

Bandidos, the new fantasy of Ester Expósito

[museofspainjgp · 10/10 · 15 March 2024]

The international success that this production is receiving is not a coincidence. A fun series of clever plots. Adventure, action and comedy from the hand of a luxury cast, with actors and actresses of the stature of Alfonso Dosal, Mabel Cadena, Andrea Chaparro and Juan Pablo Medina. An unforgettable production, one of those that keeps you glued to the television screen from minute one and is capable of surprising everyone and everyone. The icing on the cake comes from Ester Expósito, who once again delights us with a sublime and prodigious performance, brave and with that incredible talent, only available to the best actresses in history.

Light Fun Treasure Hunt

[PalmBeachG · 9/10 · 22 March 2024]

I actually loved this light fun treasure hunt Bandidos short drama of only 7 episodes. Featuring a rag-tag group that was put together, each having their own task to round out the team, my favorite turned out to be the 17-18 yr old (turns 18 while on the hunt), heir to the hotel and the computer whiz who can hack into anything, has no parental supervision, lives by himself in the hotel Presidential suite, plays games all day and starts out as a virgin. He is the most comical, and was recruited of course by the older more criminal element - some who are connected and related to top archeologist. It's just fun to watch, not too violent. A twist at the end so watch to the very last second w/o turning off too early.

#Bandidos.

Binge worthy

[deepudhawade · 10/10 · 5 April 2024]

[warrior03 · 10/10 · 23 March 2024]

From the first episode I was game for it. I mean it's definitely one of those leave the logic out of it. Funny and engaging story line. Miguel is a cutie mostly I watched just to see his fine ass . Fun short series. Would recommend watching if your looking for something to watch for the weekend or a night staying in. More then excited to know it has a season 2 I am hoping Netflix doesn't cancel it. Fun filled show with some treasure hunting why not. I watched the English dubbed it didn't feel like I was watching a dubbed one at all. And more over Miguel is perfect eye candy to watch. I can watch him on mute.
