Jaguar

This could have been a good series because some of the scenes and actors are very effective in an important story. But the female lead cannot act, and the writing falls completely apart. It ends in a mess.

They turned what could have been a powerful story of serving justice into a ridiculous, unserious and amateur series of car chases, shootouts and absurd situations. A terrible waste and injustice to the subject matter.

Here we go again with a motley crew of Nazi hunters and the compulsory, strong and fierce female lead. Shame that the acting and editing is so cartoonish, because the idea to expose the Fascist Spanish government of the 60s and its protection of Nazis is a good one.

Unfortunately the said female lead acts like the misplaced model she must be. Asked to step off the catwalk and pretend to be cool-hearted killer she's totally out of her depth. Totally, hopelessly unconvincing.

Pretty good acting, good story, great dialogue, very believable props and scenery. But everybody seems to have turned on the 'infinite ammo' cheat, and it ruins everything. Most pistols have a 7-10 round capacity, but here everyone shoots twice that or more, and you just keep waiting for them to reload. It makes it very unrealistic.

Jaguar: Spain, 1962, a lone wolf holocaust survivor intent on killing the ex-SS officer who murdered her father is persuaded to play the longer game by a team of nazi hunters. Their target is a more senior nazi, Dr Aribert Heimt a real life character who was known as the Butcher of Mauthausen. This is a fictional series but it is inspired by the reality hat 40,000 nazis settled in Spain after WW2, protected by the Francoist regime, most of hem didn't even change their surnames. There are flashbacks to what happened in the camps during the war, how the team got together. Very much an action series but one tempered by the reality the necessity of surveillance and security. Also the team each have their personal demons that they have to deal with. Not just survivors guilt but also some had to do in order to live through the Holocaust. Some great shootouts and hand to hand fighting, even dark humour. Created by Ramón Campos and Gema R. Neira. On netflix 8/10.
