Critic Reviews

Season 1 Review:
A lot of the acting – some by non-professionals – is unobtrusive to the point of not really being a performance. There are story arc problems, too, with narratives fading out then suddenly zooming back in, or stopping abruptly, their significance lost in a dusty murk of competing plotlines. ... Where Somos does succeed is in evoking the singular tensions of a place such as Allende.

Season 1 Review:
The series is at once well constructed and slightly less than convincing. ... The finale is rough going, though the death and destruction for the most part take place at a distance or off-screen; the filmmakers wisely do not overplay the violence. They don’t need to, after a five-episode build-up. Because “Somos.” doesn’t so much resolve as just cease.

Season 1 Review:
[James] Schamus, writer Monika Revilla, and directors Álvaro Curiel and Mariana Chenillo struggle with tone, often feeling like they’re not humanizing the people who died in Allende, but turning them into two-dimensional TV characters. Without the necessary depth, the people of Allende in “Somos” are like ghosts, and the whole project lacks anything other than tragedy to real[ly] hold onto.
