Epitafios: Season 2



A Serial Killer Thriller Returns--The Best HBO Show That Has Never Aired On HBO
"Epitafios" is one of the brightest, most disturbing, most gruesome, and most unconventional television series that you're likely to encounter. This Argentinean drama was commissioned by the HBO Latin division and due to the success of its original broadcast--both seasons have aired stateside on the Latin as well as the Signature channels, but never on traditional HBO. I purchased the DVD set of Season One sight unseen--on buzz alone. And I couldn't have been more pleased. Yes, it boasted one of the most ridiculously over-plotted serial killing sprees that you're likely to encounter. But isn't that par for the course? The entertainment industry has cast all ritual murderers as evil masterminds, maniacal geniuses. If there were even a fraction of the number of serial killers at work as appear in popular fiction--we'd all have been brutally dismembered by now! But despite its implausibility--the show boasts terrific lead performances and works as a high octane thriller. In...

Great show, but Beware The Packaging!
This is a fantastic series and I'm glad that the second season is finally available! But there was a very strange situation with my copy - the outer packaging is all for season 2, but the inner packaging - including the labels on the discs themselves - are all for season 1. If you get a copy like this, check out the discs before you freak out - they were the correct ones, just mislabeled!

Cannot stop watching it!
Great to see a second season that is not a disappointment after the great first season. Better photography and cleaner than the first season, but still missing the great acting of Paola Krum as Laura Santini and Antonio Birabent as Bruno Costas!
Anyway, if you liked the first this second season is a must. If you did not see the first season, buy them both!

Ah, BTW, the packing inside is wrongly misslabeled as season 1, but the DVD's content is correctly season 2.
