Initially, the series has a slow buildup, and very few scenes incite the rush in the viewers. Moreover, the entire series is in Spanish. Over ten episodes, the series tries to hook the audience with sensual scenes and create intrigue by connecting it to a murder mystery. Thrill, action, and mystery, this series has it all.

Argentine director Sebastián Ortega will act as the front-runner for the show. Francisco Denis and Mexican actress Adriana Barraza are also a part of the series.

As per Marticid, the series “is disappointing that it is not dubbed in English, and we have to rely on the subtitles. Although the story is difficult to take seriously, it is an entertaining number in more ways than one. It is a true telenovela experience, and we are betting that it will be an absolute hit on Netflix.”

“Overall, Diario de un gigoló, as it is in Spanish, has more depth than you would expect and is a decent whodunnit,” reads Nextflicks‘s review.
