The catchy concept of "Who killed Sara? »
Season 2 of this phenomenon series has just been released on May 19. For the few latecomers who still have not seen season 1, we make you a little recap (attention, there are many spoils in the article) and we give you our opinion on the series. This thriller follows Álex (Manolo Cardona), convicted of killing his sister Sara (Ximena Lamadrid) 18 years earlier during a boat trip with friends. It is he who will be suspected and then incarcerated. The Lazcanos are a manipulative and convincing family, they wrongly imprisoned Álex. 18 years after Sara's death, he is out of prison, and that's when the story begins. 
Álex tries to confront the family, then he realizes that the secrets they cover are much heavier and more disturbing than he thought. He will suspect almost every one of them and will do everything to avenge his sister. The little sister of the Lazcano siblings (Carolina Miranda) will then join Alex and little by little, the Lazcanos will shatter. Everyone will try to understand who is behind Sara's death, buried family secrets will resurface as the list of suspects decreases. Questions about Sara's pregnancy will multiply, and doubts about the Lazcanos' mother will intensify. The end of season 1 announces great revelations. While Sara seemed so cute and innocent, her brother will understand that she was hiding many things and that he did not know her so well. Spoiler alert! Álex discovers in his second diary that a corpse is buried in their garden, he finds his skeleton and it is the end clap for this first season. The identity of the skeleton remains unknown but may well have a link to Sara's murder. This ending leaves us free to imagine many possibilities: is it really Mariana Lazcano who is at the origin of Sara's bet? Did she have an accomplice? Could the skeleton have something to do with his disappearance? In any case, season 2 should have answers to our questions, and we have the pleasure of finding all the cast since May 19 on the platform.
A successful thriller thanks to its casting and production
For a thriller, the plot remains rather classic. We are immersed in suspense from the beginning, and this, throughout the season which makes it addictive. With each episode, there are new revelations, and the twists are really numerous in this first season. We are led to believe that Sara's murder is almost solved, and yet, we remain surprised throughout the season. It's a complex story, you have to follow the series to understand the personal stories of each character that give us elements of answers about Sara's murder. Finally, we are captivated by the series and the 10 episodes, about 35-45 minutes, watch each other extremely quickly! 
Accustomed to American and English series, "Who killed Sara?" is enough to shake up our habits, which gives it a more exotic side! This Mexican entertainment diversifies the dialogues especially with its Spanish lines. We will not mention the lines but their insults keep a certain charm. If the sets and know-how recall the excellent staging of American series, the Mexicans have been able to bring a boost of fresh by highlighting their culture, including the very family aspect through the Lazcano. Mafia, corruption and cartels have been set aside, this is a scenario of Machiavellian revenge. The cast is quite successful, we find actors we had already met like Manuel Julián Cardona Molano who played Eduardo Sandoval in Narcos and Luis Roberto Gúzman who played Alberto Sicilia Falcon. There are many characters, and some are more endearing than others. The main character, Álex, is certainly the one with whom we feel both close and at the same time, he seems too obsessed with his revenge. At first he is very clumsy, even a little "gruff" and threatening towards the lazcano family, it is quite difficult to find him really sympathetic. But we get attached to it gradually, we understand his suffering, he loses his sister and his mother and finds himself barely of age in a prison. His life journey is far from easy, which gives us some empathy towards him. And then, if it were our sister or brother, wouldn't we be willing to do anything to avenge his death and have answers? 
The other big head of this series is the patriarch Don Caesar, this businessman who seems insensitive and threatening does not inspire confidence. Here, the cliché of the family "submissive" to the father of the family is very well realized, his wife and children listen to him, respect him and submit to him. However, the small "coup d'état" of the children changes the codes and gives twists. The actors play well, the original version with subtitles is excellent and very pleasant to watch, Spanish is definitely a beautiful language even in a thriller as dark as this one. Everything goes very fast in this series, the mixture of thriller, betrayals, secrets and this little side of "telenovelas", not insignificant given that the writer José Ignacio Valenzuela created the telenovela Dama y obrero, clash! The music of the series brings suspense and action, special mention for the music of the end credits of each episode, " Fyre" by Rosie Oddie & Filippo Cimatti which refers us to a kind of very old police series! Otherwise, it's a flawless musical level of the series. Similarly for the images, this rather dark atmosphere plunges us into the investigation, Alexis Fridman and Juan Uruchurtu share a good number of emotions and feelings and divide us as to the perception of the character of Sara. Was she innocent and was she trapped by the Lazcano family? Or did she have a dark past and things to blame herself for? In any case, we can't wait to devour season 2 and have some explanations to discover a little more about who killed Sara! We leave you a small preview of season 2 with the trailer.
