Epitafios (2004–2009)
8/10
Killing as art ... classic cult crime-horror series from Argentina
21 May 2020
The storylines of 'Epitafios' remind me of some of the most gruesome Scandi-noir crime dramas ('The Killing', 'The Bridge' etc.), while this Argentinian series is filmed rather like a Dario Argento giallo horror flick, each kill 'staged' like a work of art! Sometimes for me they go too far with the violence, and some of the plot twists are quite implausible, but Epitafios works on lots of levels, suspenseful, dramatic, beautiful to watch, well acted and some nice interplay between the main characters. Season 2 is even better than Season 1, lots of intricacies in the story and fantastic performances by the leads (Cecilia Roth as detective Marina Sega doesn't appear until halfway through Season 1 for some reason, and immediately takes the whole thing up a notch!).

Difficult to know if they ever will make another season, particularly given the way the story was left in 2009, but I hope this cult series achieves the exposure it deserves.
