Just like the three volumes of the so-called “Culpables” series by the Argentine novelist Mercedes Ron, the film adaptations subsequently became a phenomenon. “Culpa Mia – My Fault”, “Culpa Tuya – Your Fault” and “Culpa Nuestra – Our Fault” had more than 100 million views worldwide on Amazon. After their release in 170 countries, the young adult romances became the top of Prime Video’s most popular titles – even though they are Spanish-language productions. So it’s no wonder that an English-language remake with only slightly different content has already been released. And in fact: In February 2025, “Culpa Mia – My Fault: London” also took over the top position of the most popular Prime titles in 106 countries.

The sequel “Culpa Tuya – Your Guilt: London” now follows on seamlessly from its predecessor – and once again presents itself as a half-baked young adult mix of “Eiskalte Engel” and “The Fast And Furious”. The changes compared to the Spanish original are once again minor, although at least the role of the legal guardian has been noticeably reduced. However, the end result is the same again, even under the direction of the duo Charlotte Fassler & Dani Girdwood, who have previously been responsible for music videos: the second part doesn’t go beyond cheesy and conflict-laden heartbreak with an emotionally overstretched couple.
Nick (Matthew Broome) no longer just keeps an eye on his stepsister – but now also on his colleague Sophie (Louisa Binder).
The love between step-siblings Noah (Asha Banks) and Nick (Matthew Broome) is solidified a year after the events of the first part. They still just can’t leave each other. This hasn’t gone unnoticed by Noah’s mother Ella (Eve Macklin) and Nick’s father William (Ray Fearon). The parents do not approve of what they see as an immoral love affair. But the happiness in love doesn’t seem to last (anyway):
Noah starts studying engineering at Oxford and quickly makes friends with her funky roommate Briar (Scarlett Rayner) and older fellow student Michael (Joel Nankervis). Nick, on the other hand, becomes more involved in his father’s cybersecurity company and gets an extremely attractive colleague in Sophie (Louisa Binder). Due to the great distance, the couple’s distrust of each other grows more and more…
Romance in the pub toilet
The quickly offended Noah and Nick encourage each other in their raging jealousy. If a late-night call isn’t answered immediately or voices can be heard in the background, all hell breaks loose. When a tennis match seamlessly turns into a family dispute, Noah first has to let out her frustration in the racing car duel with the shady gangster Cruz (Orlando Norman) – this is how they react Rich kids apparently without any real problems. In terms of length, drama and action choreography, the illegal car race and the revenge on the outskirts of London are a bit different than the counterpart in the original “Culpa Tuya – Your Fault”, where a busy street was crossed and a lot of pyrotechnics were used.
The directing duo can’t score points with fresh ideas even in the stylized love scenes, which are accompanied by plenty of pop junk. Instead, it seems quite silly when a rustic pub toilet in which the couple is falling over each other is made “romantic” with magenta lighting.
Noah (Asha Banks) and Nick like each other – but are still constantly arguing.
While in the Spanish original the biological parents – including Nick’s mother, who crashes a party with the surprising findings of a paternity test – are scheming against their own children, in the English version they play a much smaller role. Even Nick’s less well-heeled and therefore likeable friend Lion, who gambles away his financially struggling gym on a car race, hardly gets any screen time compared to the Spanish film.
Instead, “Culpa Tuya – Your Fault: London” focuses entirely on the lovers embodied by the series stars Asha Banks (“A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder”) and Matthew Broome (“The Buccaneers”) – although they only seem likeable at times, precisely because of their permanent emotional state of emergency. After all: In the end, the British version still manages to make a bold new twist, which at least poses a small narrative hurdle for the third part, which was filmed together with part 2 in June 2025.
Conclusion: It’s your own fault if you hope for improvement after the first part! As the middle part of the trilogy, “Culpa Tuya – Your Fault: London” just delivers another tiring cocktail of constant arguments, excessive parties and G-rated messing around, unless an illegal car race provides at least some variety.
