Well, if it's historically accurate, it will be a brutal bloodbath.
ReplyDeleteSadly, yes.
DeleteHopefully it's not all blood and death. We'll keep an eye out for it on Amazon.
ReplyDeleteThere will be love as well, but what is love when your people are being eradicated?
DeleteI hope that the scenario will be up to the costumes and the subject ...beautiful and promising!
ReplyDeleteThe colours seem to follow the setting in the photos.
DeleteI will have to look for this on prime, but from the looks of the comments, it’s something I should not watch with the kiddies.
ReplyDeleteNo, not for the kids for sure!
DeleteNot for the fainthearted, methinks.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely no!
Deletewhy is this show only available in Latin America? just watched a trailer and subbed to Amazon Prime to watch this yet it's not available outside of Latin America
ReplyDeleteIt will but probably a bit later on, as Azteca exclusive they probably have the right to air it first.
