Epitafios (English: Epitaphs) is an

mini-series with the tagline: El Final Está Escrito ... The End Is Written. It aired on HBO from 2004, to 2009, spanning a total of two seasons. The series, which takes place in an unnamed South American city, was shot in Buenos Aires
.

The series was produced by HBO Latin America and Argentine

Pol-Ka Producciones. It was written by Marcelo Slavich and Walter Slavich and directed by Alberto Lecchi and Jorge Nisco.[1] Although all of the actors were Argentine, a neutral Spanish was used instead of the local Rioplatense Spanish, avoiding colloquialisms such as the local vos in favor of the more common tú.[2]

The series debuted in

Fox Channel under the title Epitafios - Tod ist die Antwort (Epitafios - Death Is The Answer).[3]

Plot

Bruno Costas (played by Antonio Birabent) seeks revenge on the people involved in the death of four high-school students during a hostage situation gone bad, five years before. The show's two protagonists are ex-detective Renzo Márquez (played by Julio Chávez) and psychiatrist Laura Santini (played by Paola Krum). To add a further twist to this whodunit (although it has many elements of a whydunit), Márquez and Santini are on-again, off-again lovers.

In the second half of the series, Renzo is aided by a homicide detective, Marina Segal (portrayed by

Russian Roulette. It's as the corpses
of her defeated adversaries begin to surface, she is assigned to the case.
