3.5/5
Because the messaging is important, the flaws are forgivable... Go to Full Review Peter Martin ScreenAnarchy 09/15/2020
Always beautiful, consistently well-acted, and unpredictable in its combination of art-house and mystery/thriller expectations, Frontera Verde is one of the best streaming series I've seen this yea Go to Full Review Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut 09/15/2020
3.5/5
While the basic plot of Green Frontier is a murder mystery, it contorts and expands through the nippy eight-episode run to incorporate the region's history, culture, and superstitions, getting flexible with its genre and tone all the while. Go to Full Review Darío Doallo Clarín 10/14/2019
The presence of different indigenous communities... adds veracity to the story, having been shot in natural settings, using native languages ​​(such as el Tikuna and Huitoto) and being portrayed by indigenous actors.

D L @DaturaDreamer 01/09/2024 Love this. Love how they weave in the mysticism of the indigenous culture. See more Stephen G 07/01/2023 This is a hidden gem. Went looking for season 2 and discovered this has been out for a few years. Just a well balanced journey into a remote land still out there. See more mike l @MikeLance 10/07/2022 POSSIBLE SPOILER: Had to chop off a star because the real ending must be on the cutting room floor somewhere. A red flag is that the last episode is 10-12 minutes shorter than the rest. I don't need "tied with a bow endings" but clearly there was some kind of behind the scenes issue. That being said, I still highly recommend. See more 11/23/2021 I don't even want to describe the good parts of this, they just have to be experienced. It's a sort of True Detective S1 meets The OA in the Amazonian jungle, with native tribes, native languages and culture, and shamanism. Where they missed the mark is easier to talk about though: the antagonist got strangely powerful too fast and without explanation, and then the ending was too short and symbolic to even understand. But the rest was just magical. See more 06/22/2021 Fantastic and very original. A glimpse into another world, far beyond the westernised world view, we perhaps see how some indigenous uncontacted people see things. As their world comes into contact with ours, strange things happen. See more 02/17/2021 Incredible. Beautifully filmed, directed, and acted. Really fun to watch, but it's the deeper questions raised that will make you want to watch it again. See more Read all reviews
