Season 1 Review:
Despite a cumbersome narrative and a sometimes confusing tone, “La Máquina” has many high points. All these years later, Luna and Berna’s on-screen chemistry remains electric, the inner workings of the boxing world are intriguing, and this story of friendship, legacy, lies and ambition makes for enjoyable television.

Season 1 Review:
It’s also never boring, with big-swing stylistic flourishes and a very funny Luna (who looks like an insane, coked-up, self-botox-injecting Robert Evans, all spray tans and gaudy jewelry and pastel suits) that make it, while certainly not the cleanest of watches, a unique one that can be a sight to behold.

Season 1 Review:
It’s trying to do so many things, and it’s my guess that some of its more challenging facets — the effects of CTE on boxers, the class struggle built into Mexico’s century-long love affair with the sweet science, the aforementioned romantic and journalistic subplots — might get variable degrees of lost. More than that, though, I appreciated watching this narrative come together. I’d happily watch more of this chemistry-filled, unpredictable muddle.

Season 1 Review:
Bernal and Luna are a force to be reckoned with when they share the screen together, and that alone will draw folks in. The execution may be shaky at times, but the unraveling mystery threaded throughout La Máquina will keep the audience clicking “play next episode” until the end.

Season 1 Review:
As a viewer, I can get past not knowing or understanding the motivations of a mysterious antagonist if the chaos they bring is worth watching. And, to be sure, there is more than one plot twist in this mystery I did not see coming, but those moments are fleeting and shallow. They did little to distract me from a series of unresolved subplots.
