Paula, Evelyn and Lucas are SO STUPID!


The one thing that annoys me about this show is those stupid, irrational and arrogant kids, always bossing adults around and trying to take charge of things they don't understand. They apparently can believe anything, like 3-year-olds believing in Santa Claus, but they take it to ridiculous levels. Paula thinks she's on the North Pole because it's snowing? And she's supposed to be the brainy one in the family? They totally crossed the line from childish innocence to bratty arrogance when they stole that briefcase full of money from Noiret and later burned it because "money doesn't make you happy." What do they know about it? Who do they think they are?

And why doesn't someone just shoot Javier?

I actually love the kids and find their interactions with Jacinta very funny. Amazing how good the child actors are considering they are in so many episodes. I didn't get to the episode about the burned money - I agree about Javier, he is a little "bad boy."

marcos annoys the crap out of me as he is the most arrogant of them all. plus he is very hypocritical. How can he give crap to elsa for lying to the students about the disease so they don't freak out and yet he refuses to tell anything of truth to his sister even when life depends on it? i just want to punch him in the face everytime he speaks. all he cares about is his family which started the whole thing in the first place. the whole novoa and espi family should be terminated.

but worse than paula, is paula's mom. she is a full grown adult and is supposed to have an IQ above 150, but she is so completely useless and stupid.

I agree. Like Evelyn being in a suitcase for a long time and not screaming bloody murder, or locking Julia in the bathroom to "cure" her crazy, Evelyn thinking she was going to die from pooping, playing with a real gun and the list goes on and on of far fetched schemes those kids get into that no normal kid would.... ever even think of. I didn't see the burning of a brief case full of money so that must have been one of the episodes Netflix deleted.
To jump in front of a comment further down about Sandra. Right.. shes so intelligent but when she gets her baby back, and escapes in a vehicle she goes right to the school and just saunders in with the baby. Not afraid she will be captured and taken back in to the tunnels again? She has a deer in the headlight expression most of the time.
Lets talk of Julia seeing the dead. She never tries to explain what she sees. After finally believing her from the first ghostly message from their dead friend.. Ivan apologizes and they start a relationship. But when she starts seeing Marcos mother Ivan tells her shes crazy and hes crazy for being with her. Makes no sense why would he not believe her?
And when Vicky was trapped in the cold storage and had to crawl into a body bag with frozen body she didn't tell them about that after she made it back to the room other than say.. you wont believe what happened to me. I would have been talking fast... "OMG...I had to get INTO the bag with her when I heard someone coming , then got out and jumped from the back of the van!!!! I had to walk 5 miles back here!!!"
I love love love this show but so many little things that could have been written better.
