¡García!

Wow, watched 30 minutes and it was brutally bad. Horrible acting, horrible dialog, along with a ridiculous plot.

It has to have been made to fill hole in hbo's schedule. Rarely have I seen something this bad. Rarely have I seen acting this bad.

The acting is cartoonish. A girl with a backpack outruns soldiers chasing her? It's just difficult to find the words to describe how awful this is. I saw the lead review "I'm really enjoying this!!!" and thought even with a 6 rating it might be entertaining but NO.

I'm writing this review in the hopes someone will see it and not be mislead by other reviews.

Watch something, anything else.

Acting is not the best and the "historical period" and "fictional present time" are not well depicted, full of prejudices about an interesting time in Spanish history that could have been treated much better. Good news are that if you take the story as something completely fictional and ignore the history bit nuisances, you can enjoy kind of a "parody" of spy movies, science fiction, eternal youth experience with very nice 60's-70's Spanish pop music and the contrast between a time where people speak to people and have respect vs current cold, tech-driven society. So see it if you like something different but do not take seriously the historical facts.

Disclaimer: I don't know much about Spain or its political history, so if you're looking for something authentic or accurate, I won't be able to comment. I'm just rolling with the plot as it comes and I'm really enjoying the series!!! This is my favorite genre to watch and I admit some bits are a tad predictable but I find the series fun and entertaining. Some comedy, some action, some seriousness, some backstabbing. Garcia is extremely likeable character thus far and I'm here for Antonia's rapid rants. I find myself eagerly waiting for the next episodes to see where the plot goes and dearly hope the show continues for more seasons.

So the story is about a super soldier who was in cryogenic for 60 years and now wake up in todays world. So far so good after two episodes. I liked the series. It has little bit humor not more action and story going in good way. At the second episode end got good element of surprise may be some may predict. You already the the story good guy will kill bad one but they make it so good that you going to like it. Entertaining with humor, action, some suspense. Currently watched only two so my review is based on that maybe after it I like it more or not. But definitely worth giving a shot. Watch it at least 2 episodes. You will like it.

Best comic book adaption in a long time.

Americans with no sense of sarcasm or other cutler than American, do not need to bother, but for the rest of us, this is a gem, absolute gem! Garcia is just amazing in his stuffy self awareness and the story is funny, with a touch like Batman feeling as it was in the early days. Someone is. Referring to historical accuracy? You are totally missing the point of the whole series! It is definitely not another boring Disney/Marvel adaption, and that is the best thing - nobody cares about Marvels anymore - it is fresh, has some great characters and truly enjoyable.
