I wanted to like it, but.... while this TV series based on the true story of the Puccio family of Argentina, the 2015 movie "El Clan" directed by Pablo Trapero featuring Guillermo Francelle and Peter Lanzini is FAR superior, more sinister (and much shorter!).
First, the movie El Clan does not give away the ending in the opening sequence like Familia Greco does. (I watched the movie not knowing anything and it was a real mind-bender.) Also, the juxtaposition of the beautiful visuals and superb music choices of El Clan lend a creepiness that this Familia Greco never quite achieves.
Trust me, watch the 2015 movie El Clan instead. Or watch both and decide for yourself.
Maybe because I lived near there in 1985 (and had NO IDEA!!!), that movie still haunts me years later. Check it out.
