The cool thing about Netflix is that you come across series from all over the world, whom otherwise you won`t bump into.
Like this one, Control Z, a teen drama series from Mexico, and which has 3 seasons, so we tried it out with the first and liked it.
The tale spins around Sofia Herrera, an introvert student in the National College. One day, a hacker reveals that the most beautiful girl in the class is actually a transgender, and that he will be revealing the secrets of others as well. Together with new student Javier Williams, Sofie starts the search to find out the hacker, as she doesn`t want her secret out.
As she confirms the hacker she wants revenge, the ball starts rolling as many more are being blackmailed by him, inlcuding Luis, a defenseless person who is being bullied by tough kid Gerry. When the secrets of the people that wronged Isabella are leaked, and a fight breaks out between Gerry, Raul, pablo and other guys of the group. At the principals office, Sofia also discovers he is not only dating her widowed mother, but plans to ask her for marriage.
Luis reveals he is the hacker to get expelled from school, as he doesn't want to be there for the bullying. But Gerry wants his revenge, and the hacker forces a duel between them in which Luis is smahed on the boardwalk edge by Luis, gravely injured and falling into a coma, but also turning out he was lying it was him as a result as the hacker immediatly contacts his next victim.
Raul, who's parents have fled the country for corruption, organises a huge party. Sofia attends in an effort ot find clues of the hacker, but ends up kissing with Raul after javier had left the party. As Raul goes to search for a blown fuse, she is kidnapped by the hacker.
She gathers clues in the car as she is semi-conscious, and together with Raul and Javier uses them to find the location where she was taken. Here they discover that Bruno, an IT kid from school, lives, but they just know he can`t be the hacker, just a lapdog for him. After he makes his escape, it looks like Javier might be involved in it all. But it turns out he has perhaps the heaviest secret of them all, having accidentally killed a soccer friend. But then the hacker reveals that at the end of the year party, he will reveal all their secrets at once.
The hacker is namely none other then Raul, something Sofia discovers when she sleeps with him. But after being beaten by Pablo, he unleashes the video and reveals all the secrets, a massive fight errupting at the school party. In the hospital though, Gerry watches Luis die in his coma, and mad with grief wants his revenge on the hacker. He grabs a pistol from home and goes to the party, but in a struggle as he wants to shoot Raul, Javier steps in and gets shot, the season ending as he bleeds on the pavement with the others gathering around him...
Okay, I didn`t see that coming to be honest, I thought for a long time it was Sofia herself behind it all. But this is a fun series, though I have no idea what season 2 might bring now that the hacker is known and the secrets are out.
But that is something to find out later then I guess!
