“Killer Soup” is above all an enjoyable and well-crafted series, technically sound, with a Hitchcock-like script infused with farcical comedy that makes it genuinely entertaining and, if not unique, certainly appealing enough to immerse oneself in the life of this cook whose dishes please no one but herself.
A dark comedy with style and plenty of intrigue that knows how to reinvent stories in every episode and deliver a pair of witty jokes in each sequence to keep you watching.
For a good time, to unwind and be entertained by a high-quality series, with a solid and efficient script that knows exactly what it aims for.

About the series
“Killer Soup” is above all a dark comedy tangled with an obvious touch of “Dial M for Murder,” perfectly aware of its target audience and how to entertain them.
It is a well-produced series, with well-crafted scenes and editing. It maintains a swift pace without rushing, avoiding resorting to over-the-top situations or chases. It skillfully achieves a delicate narrative balance between comedy and thriller, never losing sight that it is, ultimately, a comedy. It takes the story seriously, just enough to avoid absurdity, and takes the comedy very seriously, enough to never treat the plot with any form of drama.
The first episode is hilarious, with the two twin brothers engaged in shady businesses and the climax of one of them, setting the stage for the woman’s tangled plot.
The cinematography is excellent, as this is not a series that neglects its production value. It is carefully crafted and thought out, and within its laid-back formula, it works, entertains, and leaves you wanting to watch one more episode – a fundamental objective of any television series.
Our opinion
A fun and efficient proposal that cleverly blends thriller with comedy, murder, and tangled affairs. It excels in all its technical aspects. “Killer Soup” is a comedy that, above all, maintains its balance and turns every scene into something interesting, suggestive, and always enjoyable.
