Filmyhype.com Ratings: 3.5/5 (three and a half stars) [yasr_overall_rating size=”large”]
The final season of Sky Rojo Season 3 arrives on Netflix on January 13 with its third installment of fast-paced episodes, and this is our spoiler-free review. It smells like a farewell. From the moment it starts there is no turning back to stretch the gum any further and Sky Rojo will reach its denouement with its third season, premiering on Netflix on Friday, January 13. But beware, it’s not one of those series that chooses to die on its knees: the persecution of the girls is going to reach a zenith full of violence that will seek to leave viewers traumatized, of course.
This final eight-episode batch returns fully loaded with crazy plot twists, unpleasant moments and sequences that will test the most delicate stomachs with Romeo’s usual outbursts of brutality and seemingly erotic but intimately terrifying sexual flashbacks. Sky Rojo’s cognitive dissonance continues. The discourse denouncing sexual exploitation continues to be ambiguous, uncomfortable and difficult to buy due to the strange humor that exudes a narrative that is between little or nothing credible and in which madness is the dominant tone, not to mention other decisions in the direction which are more than debatable as the tendency to leave nothing to the imagination.
Sky Rojo Season 3 Review: The Story
If until now Coral (Verónica Sánchez) was in charge of telling us her story, in this season she hands over the microphone to Miguel Ángel Silvestre in this task. His character, Moisés, will tell us that in the past, given the lack of vital information about his brother’s death at the hands of Romeo and the villain’s double jump with a corkscrew to make him believe that his mother is still alive (really, you have to give him a nose to put the blood sausages that they put in the script), he returned to be faithful to him.
And that implied, of course, joining as a faithful follower of the hunt for girls, who settle in Almería to live a new life as, beware, pastry chefs, attracting new loves into their lives and relaxing more than necessary. So much so that Romeo will have the opportunity to set them up and hire a hitman to resume a relentless pursuit that, now, will put an end to the conflict. In short, as so far in previous seasons of Sky Rojo, the important thing is how well-shot it is. Álex Pina and Esther Martínez Lobato have inaugurated the “castizo pulp”, a subgenre in itself that is impossible to ignore even though their greatest contribution is to put many things in the shaker and shake it hard to produce a torrent of colors.
“You can resurrect. You can change your life, but you can’t forget where you come from. Because the day you do, the past appears again at your door” says Sky Rojo in its season promotion. Wendy has met Greta (Catalina Sopelana) and they are both very excited because theirs has been love at first sight. Gina has also found love, a man who has no problem raising the child she is expecting with her. And Coral… She seems to want to try it with a boy, but she only wants to have a relationship with drugs, because she is still hooked on them, and she no longer has the excuse of having to take drugs to endure everything that happened in the club.
It is then that the past emerges. Something they can’t get rid of. Is it better to tell your current partners that they were prostitutes and that they are on the run from their kidnappers or is it better not to reveal where they come from so that they do not change their perception of them? The first conflict of the season is served because each of the three wants to act differently. Of course, in all invented life there is always a fissure through which that past can appear. And in theirs, it will not be an exception. Objective: blow up
Sky Rojo Season 3 Review and Analysis
These eight chapters promise to be the final firecracker of this frenetic story that does not leave the viewer a moment of respite. The team already perfectly masters the peculiar variety of tones of the series, and they play more with it, controlling the jumps from comedy to drama, from action to western, and from social criticism to laughter… Therefore, knowing in this crazy narrative, neither the protagonists nor the audience believed that this tranquility from the beginning was going to be permanent. For Romeo (Asier Etxeandia) and his family, this has not ended and will not end until they get hold of the girls. They are on the lookout, and it will not be until one of them makes a slight mistake that they will be exposed, ending the peace and starting the persecution again.
The quality of the image, the staging, the hectic rhythm of the eclectic soundtrack and the editing and the ability to create visually very attractive atmospheres, although cloudy to the point of nausea, is still intact, but it continues to be perceived as a trip to nowhere. It is not easy to grow fond of characters you would slap or who seem to you like a crude caricature of a much more serious and serious social reality… In short, it is one thing to suffer for something, like when you watch The Handmaid’s Tale and another thing to do it for free as a strange form of entertainment that puts us in a very uncomfortable situation as viewers because we don’t know it can deal more clumsily with issues that are in the public debate such as consent or toxic relationships.
In this final season, in addition, it is appreciated that the ships are burned. It would have been difficult, if not impossible, to justify dragging this out, so the slam is appreciated. Genius and figure to the grave. Let’s cross our fingers so that the next project is something kinder and doesn’t wake us up so much. After Cristian’s death in season 2, Romeo has found a replacement for his gang: El Tatuado (Tiago Correa). His aggressiveness, impulsiveness and the face of a few friends make him ideal to belong to this group. Not putting up with his partner Moisés (Miguel Ángel Silvestre) will not make things easy, especially when they (maybe) discover they have different interests.
Although the girls have always been the protagonists, this season Moisés gains weight. On the one hand, it is the first time that he also tells his story as a narrative thread, listening to the character with his voiceover shortly. This is where he narrates that he was deceived by Romeo, who has always used him, who was the one who killed his brother Cristian from him and who also killed his mother. It is clear that he will end up finding out the whole truth and that there will be a monumental fight between the two because he will want to take revenge on the pimp. Here then remains the mystery of whether Moisés will go over to the good side, to that of the girls, knowing that he is another victim of the same man or if it is too late for them to forgive.
Sky Rojo Season 3 Review: The Last Words
More of the same: the concept continues to be twisted to end this madness. Few will miss her, but it must be recognized that the bet is raised to the end. The technical invoice. It remains faithful to its essence: those who enjoyed the first two installments will also enjoy the latter. Now the mystery is not who will win the final battle because the girls will win (what series would we have been watching if suddenly “the bad guys” win?). The intrigue lies in knowing how, what will become of them, if they find full happiness and continue together, how they are going to end them if Romeo deserves to die or be tortured like the ones he usually does, and what will happen to Moses. The show must go on. Let the fireworks start. Let everything explode like gunpowder.
