Sapo S.A. Memorias de un ladrón (2022)
Fascinating Story, Lackluster Execution
El Sapo: Memoirs of a Thief,' presents a captivating and original story revolving around the character El Sapo. The narrative has the potential to be a novel experience, blending documentary and series elements seamlessly. However, the execution falls short, particularly in the interview segments.
The interviewer's childlike questioning style fails to delve into the motivations and deeper aspects of El Sapo, leaving the audience craving more substance. The series often repeats ideas, rendering certain chapters redundant and leading to a sense of lost time, especially in Season 1 chapter 4.
Despite the documentary-slash-series format providing a unique perspective on real characters, the failure to double-click on the intricacies of El Sapo's character hampers the overall impact. A missed opportunity to explore the depths of this intriguing story, 'El Sapo' could have been a standout if the execution matched the brilliance of its source material."
