It’s neither bad nor good enough to sing praises—at the end of the day, it’s a show that fails to stand out and that could have possibly been better executed.

Letters From The Past is confusing, with characters that aren’t just unlikable, but who all seem to be surrounded by toxic friends and other relationships.

3/5

As its best, Letters from the Past feels better for not relying on the too-familiar staples of streaming shows, but at its worst, it can feel a bit sluggish and drawn out.

"Cartas desde el pasado" se siente una serie mediocre, superficial y carente de significado. La idea no es lo suficientemente original como para valerse por sí sola. Por ratos, la trama se torna demasiado lenta. Hay demasiados momentos que no aportan absolutamente nada a la historia. Otro drama sin mucho sentido.
