It's one of the best few series I've seen in recent years (and I've seen a lot). It is fast-paced like an American action show, but without the unnecessary explosions and time-filling talking and subplots, and it also has that European cinema feeling of making films on a tight budget which means they have to deliver through ideas and moral dilemmas. It is action stripped to the bone but it tells a scary cautionary tale, ironically, in the year before the COVID pandemic that almost brought society to the Collapse the title of this amazing series talks about. Also the ending is hard-hitting and, like all the rest of these short but tense episodes with almost no connection between them, brilliantly thought.

Action, stunning humor, political satire, great music (and a one of its kind dance act), post-modern nods to other films, great characters, nice views of Havana, unforgettable ending - this hidden gem has it all! It is one of those few actually good zombie movies, along Dawn of the Dead, 28 Days Later, Shaun of the Dead - though in my opinion it is way superior to Shaun of the Dead, which has a dry sense of humour, while Juan de los muertos elicits crazy laughter, including from the effect of the wild political satire. Not to mention the quality of making a movie on a presumably small budget but that doesn't look like a movie on a presumably small budget, due to the creativity involved. Do not miss this one!
