accident is definitely off to an intriguing start for this Mexican series Netflix's trailer made this seem campy and hilarious with viewers wondering what would come out of the bouncy castle flying away but in the first episode we see that the bouncy castle is actually just a catalyst for what follows the actual show is likely to be a thriller with strains of classism and Mafia level Revenge classic telen Noel territory Jos and his family definitely have a gangster-like background while poor moncho is about to become the scapegoat for all of this Sebastian Martinez is likely to steal the show as Amano as he plays the weak-minded rich guy pretty well and despite the focus of this episode mostly being on the incident and Exposition The Limited screen time has aano coming off as the righteous guy who unfortunately can be easily swayed or manipulated we can already guess that his initial need to tell the truth will be way laid either by his wife or his business partners but for the time being the accident gets off to a pretty decent start thanks for watching and do let us know your thoughts in the comments below smash a like or subscribe to the channel your support is very
