The Guest

The Guest opens on a family that appears organized and content, but whose calm is interrupted when an unexpected visitor shows up and unsettles the household's rhythm. Small slights and long-buried disagreements begin to surface as ambitions and loyalties get tested. One member's political plans start to reshape conversations and decisions, and secrets that everyone has tolerated quietly push relationships toward breaking. Silvia, Sonia, Lorenzo, Isabella, and Miguel trade polite smiles while the real negotiations happen behind closed doors, and the series keeps the focus on how power, reputation, and private grief interfere with daily life, stopping short of revealing major twists in its first episodes.

Released in 2025, the series was created by Dario Venegas and Lina Uribe, and directed across episodes by Klych Lopez and Israel Sanchez, showcasing a tight visual style and deliberate pacing.

As of its 2025 release there are no reports of major industry awards or high-profile nominations for the show, though critics and viewers have highlighted performances and writing in early reviews.

Despite being new, The Guest has sparked online conversation about the intersection of family life and political ambition, with certain scenes and character confrontations frequently shared on social platforms and discussed for their moral ambiguity.

Critical responses skew positive, reflected in a 7.875/10 user vote average from early viewers, who praise the cast chemistry and the steady escalation of tension. Themes center on power, secrecy, trust, and the cost of public image, with performances that make interpersonal conflicts feel urgent without relying on melodrama.
