30 Coins (TV Series) El ojo de Dios (2023) User Reviews

Incoherent mess.

[perforatedattheneck0401 · 2/10 · 19 January 2024]

First season was pretty decent. Not by any stretch amazing but, a decent time pass. Now..

I can't even begin to understand what happened to the second season. It is a looong list of really dumb creative choices that really did not work out in the end. At all.

Demons, aliens, zombies, murder and mayhem all stuffed in the same bag with cheesy soap opera drama and horrible direction. I guess you could give it a go if "Ancient Aliens" meets "Days of our lives" takes your fancy.

I highly doubt we're going to see a third season based on how this turned out. And to conclude this mess, it needs a third season. That said; a third season would have to be 500 times better than this.

2 stars for effort-ish.

Really bad

[gelasma-1 · 1/10 · 3 January 2024]

Bad, really bad... The last episode of the first season was already, clearly, the weakest one of an overall satisfying and very original series.

The second season started on very different bases, with disjointed plot threads, different groups of actors, spread out in many different areas of the world (as opposed to the village of Pedraza where virtually the entire first season was taking place). Moreover, the addition of Paul Giamatti to the cast was a disaster : normally a decent actor, in 30 coins he is just awful, and I'm not sure what part of this wreck is his responsibility, or just the terrible writing... To go back to the episode itself, the bounds of ridicule are completely ignored : the scenario, the dialogue, the cinematography, the acting, the relations between characters... everything is just a joke without grace, fantasy or fun.
