About the Series
“The Bequeathed” is a gripping series that excels at being a dark thriller, one that hides secrets and mysteries and always has a surprise in every episode. It takes us to the sinister side of family secrets, delving into the past and, above all, the characters of the town, guardians of the secrets in this incredibly entertaining series that will be a delight for fans of dark and violent thrillers.
“The Bequeathed” doesn’t reinvent anything in terms of cinematography. It’s a thriller that aims to entertain and surprise in each of its 6 episodes. It achieves this without experimenting too much technically, without shining excessively, or providing the viewer with anything unexpected.
Is it predictable? It aims to surprise in the resolution of the enigma, not in the execution of the series, which means the series fails to leave a lasting impression and reminds us of many other thrillers of this kind. It has a very television-like quality, with a classic script structure that intertwines the main story with the police investigation, ultimately converging at the same point.
The best parts of the series are its action sequences and editing. In recent years, the industry of the country has experienced an unprecedented boom, and it shows in the overall quality of the series, which knows how to handle this entertainment product perfectly, establishing the timing of suspense, presenting a narrative with multiple characters, and never forgetting to infuse the whole story with a touch of perversion.
Our Opinion
A good and entertaining series, perfect for immersing yourself in the secrets of this inheritance on a Friday night.
