Hello. Sorry for the delay. Okay, you guys must hear about this television series currently ruling the airwaves in Latin America and here in the United States. There hasn’t been a show like this in forever, except last year, when the first season was on air. All I can say about this show is Wow. The show is called Mujeres Asesinas 2 or Killer Women 2. This is the second season of the show and its apically good.
The show takes what is the most impressive cast of mexican actresses and actors ever assembled and gives them some of the most hurt, complex, damaged, not to mention evil, characters ever seen on spanish television. Did I mention the show is in spanish? We’ll it is and that makes it all the better. The cast is superb, everybody whose who of the entertainment world in Mexico is here. We are talking about some the most recognized faces in the country. Included in the cast are some of the most talented up and coming actresses that show their talent, but also the just as superb been-here-along-time actresses and actors that command the screen with a force rarely seen. I could name some of them, but I don’t think they would be recognizable to you, but take my word for it, this is a cast for the ages. The only show that rivals this stunning cast happens to be the cast from the first season.
The show is based on an Argentine book of the same name. It revolves around a team of detectives investigating the motives of the killers, who are all women. I’ve heard this show being described as CSI, except that the killers are all female. Each episode consists of a different story all based on real life events. The plot of each episode will portray the life of the murderer, all leading up to the actual event. Wether it’s a cheating husband story-line or a prostitution narrative, you will be left breathless. The plots are tightly written and the acting is top notch. Only the best are here, wether producers, actors, directors, only the best. Actually, the producer of the series, Pedro Torres, is extremely talented, he’s kind of like a Mexican version of Jerry Bruckheimer, he does it all, soap operas, movies and now the most famous Mexican produced tv series in the world.
Above is a brilliant promo for the series (in Spanish) from YouTube.
I am talking about a mature, sex laden, foul language television program here. Bit of a warning, it can get quite mature. The sex scenes are edgy, just as the potty mouth language. But, what I will caution the most is the actual death murder scenes. These last minutes of each episode, which show the woman losing control and eventually slaying their victims, which can consist of husbands, friends, all types of relatives. These scenes are bloody, gory, violent, blood soaked sequences that should be precautionary to young viewers. These might be adult themed, but they are necessary, as they bring each episode to a close.
Mujeres Asesinas 2 airs on the leading spanish language channel in the United States, Univision, every Thursday at 10 p.m. From what i’ve heard, the show keeps breaking rating levels week after week. Once you see the show, you can see for yourself why. It’s that good. Just as great was the job done by the network, Univision, in the marketing. It was a bloody, innovative, attention grabbing campaign that aired for weeks, all leading up to the premiere that happened in mid January to record breaking audiences.
The latest episode, episode three, aired two days ago and I couldn’t believe what happened. It was intense. This show just keeps on getting better and better. Here’s a bonus point for the show, it airs in HD, so it’s crisp and clear. I could go on all day about the series and how great it is, but if I do I will start sounding like a fanboy, so I will have to keep it under control.
