"¿Dónde está Elisa?": you can't miss it!

First of all, I'm not a big TV fan and that may be explained by the fact that I don't have cable television at home. So, as you can imagine, my television taste is very limited and I almost don't have one.

If you ask me about my favorite television series, I would have to think a lot of it. And now, the only TV series I can think of is "¿Dónde está Elisa?" A television series or a soap opera instead? It could be both, but I don't really mind. The only thing I could say about "¿Dónde está Elisa?" is that it's a national television phenomenon, and very successful, by the way.

"¿Dónde está Elisa?" is a series about a girl (Elisa) who gets lost after a party with some of her cousins. There're many suspects (even Elisa's father, Raimundo, were one of them), but police can't find the real responsible yet. However, everybody in the audience knows that Bruno (Elisa's uncle) is who kidnapped her. Now, the only thing Elisa's family knows is that she's dead and the guilty is closer than they ever imagined.

This series is starred by Elisa Domínguez (a very rich girl who is about 16 years old and had some strange attitudes), Raimundo Domínguez (Elisa's dad, a very important and sucessful businessman who will do anything to find the guilty of his daughter's death), Francisca Correa (Elisa's mom, a housewife very kind and dedicated to her daughters) and Camilo Rivas (one of the detectives in charge of the investigation and who gets sentimentally involved with Francisca).

"¿Dónde está Elisa?" is currently my favorite television series because its story can keep me in front of the television for 45 minutes with no interruptions (well, except for the tv advertisements, haha). Why? Simply because the series is full of little but powerful stories with very particular characters, and the main story couldn't be more schemer. Mistery is one of its more important elements and another reason why I like it.

Technically, I think that in "¿Dónde está Elisa?" there's a good acting, except for some younger and "new" actors who can't really interpret deep feelings and strong scenes. But, in general, there's a very talented cast. In the other hand, production is one of the best ones I've seen in Chilean television series. There're good sets and right locations, which can reflex almost perfectly different situations. But one of the things I like the most of this TV series is the script. Pablo Illanes is who wrote the story and who, I must say it, has very much experience in television work. Although there're other international series or films very simmilar to this one, the special feature of Illanes' work is that he had the skill to bring this story to a very Chilean reality and context.

In resume, "¿Dónde está Elisa?" is a must-to-see television series. Once you watch it for the first time, you can't help following it!
