Critical and audience reception for the first episode highlights a strong, high-concept premise but notes issues with execution:
“Big big credits to the plot twist: although a veteran crime-horror fan will start to have doubts and guess sooner, the reveal of the true killer's identity is still mindblowing.” IMDb Santiago (TV Series 2022– ) - IMDb Santiago.S01E01.1080p.OPTO.WEB-DL.H264-CKTV.mkv...
“The characters also don't seem real: some of their decisions and actions are completely ridiculous and out of place.” IMDb Critical and audience reception for the first episode
