Alonso Díaz de la Vega El Universal 05/24/2019
It's questionable that a series, working with a so delicate subject, gets to use the audience's curiosity to deliver a deceptive image of the Mexican history and politics. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 04/08/2019
While Crime Diaries: The Candidate has fine performances, its pacing is off and seems to treat the person who was assassinated as more of a straw man than an actual person. Go to Full Review David Ocadiz Cinergética 04/03/2019

02/19/2021 I was expecting a lot more from a Netfix series. One watches a biopic because it has more merit than, say, a Wikipedia entry. This was nothing but a generic reenactment with generic shots, generic music, generic writing. Huge disappointment. See more Read all reviews
