No Traces seems to have divided opinion among the critics. Perusal of naysayer comments, however, suggests the primary source of dislike for many to be the mixed genre nature of the show. If you don't appreciate having your belly laughs mixed in with your violent murders then this won't be for you. If like me, however, you thrill to fast-paced storylines, action a plenty, and leads with romantic chemistry to burn, then the creators of No Traces hit the bulls-eye for us. Carolina Yuste is magnetically watchable as the always underestimated gypsy Desi, Camila Sodi is zany and beautiful as Desi's sidekick Cata, and Silvia Alonso complicates the shipping with a pitch perfect turn as the conflicted cop who also happens to be Desi's ex. A word too for Leonardo Ortizgris and the easily overlooked element of nuance he brings to the character of Ubaldo, Cata's ex-husband. All in all, particularly for the mixed genre appreciators, No Traces is a really good watch.
