Critical Reception

What critics are saying

Score 52 /100

Critical reception for the Colombian Netflix drama Medusa is mixed, with reviewers generally viewing the series as a soapy, melodramatic guilty pleasure. While some critics enjoyed the central whodunit mystery surrounding CEO Bárbara Hidalgo and the ruthless family power struggles, others felt the narrative suffered from sluggish pacing, weak writing, and predictable twists.

Positive reviews highlight the show's engaging psychological tension and juicy backstabbing dynamics, offering fun soap-opera style entertainment. Conversely, harsher assessments describe the series as a hot mess that prioritizes style and steamy montages over a well-crafted mystery, concluding that it lacks narrative substance despite its beautiful backdrops.

“An intriguing thriller series which keeps you wondering who the real culprit is among all the suspects.”

“A Soapy, Suspenseful Guilty Pleasure”

“Violence and swearing in sluggish sexual drama thriller.”

“Medusa is style over substance”

Why fans love it

Medusa leans into the friction of a high-stakes corporate power struggle where the line between professional ambition and personal betrayal disappears. The 2025 drama layers a standard thriller premise with the complications of a sprawling empire that hides its fractures behind boardroom doors.

The tension rests on the shoulders of Juana Acosta, who navigates the isolated position of a leader under immediate threat. As the search for an assassin moves through a labyrinth of family grievances, the series prioritizes the slow decay of trust within the business elite. It leaves the audience to parse which associates are actually allies and which relatives are simply waiting for the vacancy to open.
