Review of Night and Day

Night and Day (2016–2017)
5/10
Noir on the surface, pure Telenovela in substance
7 September 2017
This Catalan offering is packed with characters, each having to deal with their own demons and life's foibles. It starts off as an interesting Noir type thriller, but as the series progresses takes on the feel of a Spanish Telenovela. It seems as if every character that's introduced has some flaw or story attached to them. As the story progresses, so do the number of characters and subplots, to the point where so much stuff becomes distracting and tiresome. It's as if one might need a complex algorithm or software program to remind the viewer whose who! Some of the acting is good, at other times, really bad. As is common to a lot of the Spanish produced series, there is a lot of sex that covers the spectrum from deviant to standard! I guess the message here is that everyone has many sides to their character, and these can be as different as night is from day. If the show is not analyzed too deeply, and watched only for mindless entertainment, taking the events in stride as they happen, it'll pass muster as an average series to watch!
