'Fake Profile' (2023) Series on Netflix: Thriller with a 9 1/2 Weeks flavor

Fake Profile is a Colombian series on Netflilx, directed by Pablo Illanes, starring Carolina Miranda and Rodolfo Salas.

From the first shots you already know that you’re about to see an excellent production at a cinematographic level, with well-worked frames and excellent high-contrast photography. But we’re also given the female lead in a rather spicy show while her male counterpart is doing some push-ups so we can have a look at his sculpted abs.

Then the protagonists meet, both gorgeous, on an idyllic date (in Las Vegas, no less). Everything is perfect. Remember 365, the almost erotic Polish blockbuster? Well, more or less the same, but even more daring.

And then comes a series in the form of a somewhat soap opera thriller, with a good photographic quality, that’s fair to say, which manages to combine the two worlds in a well-constructed intrigue very prone to show these beautiful people wearing very little clothing because, why not?

As always, these are choices of the producers and we won’t get into it, but it won’t be enough to satisfy the most stylish viewers looking for a thriller, although it might convince those looking for a thriller full of morbidity and sculptural bodies. And there aren’t few of those.

A series that seeks more to make us look at how handsome they all are (which they are, no doubt) than at its plot, which also looks good. We have a win-win situation here, cause these people are smart.

In the end, a fairly commercial but entertaining product that, given the reception of 365, promises to be a success in the same line.

But with the plus that Fake Profile has a way better plot than those three movies.

P.S: It’s hard to believe how handsome these people are!
