Sky Rojo

First, if you like movies or cinematography from Quentin Tarantino you'll love this one. Second, acting is correct from the main cast. Nothing superb but good performances from the main trio. Last, some good old songs in the show from movies like Kill Bill or Trainspotting.

On the other hand, the series includes a lot of cliches and so many questions to answer (maybe on season two) and unbelievable situations from the characters.

So, overall an acceptable Tarantinian Spanish style series for an easy watch (the whole season is watchable only in 4 hours).

SkyRojo (English audio) so far the first season is nowhere close to the thrilling and rip-roaring MoneyHeist. So please don't have high expectations if you are watching, because you loved MoneyHeist ❤

If you are looking for another Alberto (Miguel Angel Silvestre) and Raul (Asier Etxeandia) best stop here because Velvet it ain't! Their characters couldn't be more different, Romeo - Asier Etxeandia is the nasty club owner and Moises - Miguel Angel Silvestre is one of his henchmen. It's a club with prostitutes and Romeo justifies it as necessary for the economy, they make him a lot of money and work to clear their debts, but they never clear their debts. The opportunity arises and 3 of the girls escape, no spoilers as to why. The henchmen go after them. Their back stories are revealed as to why they all end up at the club. It's a great little story of girls getting their inner strength to fight back, short episodes and definitely lined up for another series. I enjoyed it.

However, started series two and just finished episode 2 and not going any further, I won't change my star rating as I gave it for series one. Stars for 2 would be 2 or 3. I couldn't get into it, made no sense, no story line and clearly the writers didn't have a story in mind either. Life is too short to persevere.

Amazing music, anyone agrees? Loved the music at the end of each episode, brilliant choices.

Are you a fan of Money Heist, Squid Game, Tarantino films, etc? If yes, you will probably enjoy Sky Rojo. Plenty of violence, nudity, action, drama, and dark comedy. All episodes flow nicely and are easy to watch even with subtitles (recommended over dubbed version). Sure there are plotholes and the chasing can after a while seem repetitive, but the gore and explicitness ensure the viewer is never really bored.

Lastly, the show seems quite expensive and well thought out in terms of production value and cinematographic detail so if that's important for you there shouldn't be any disappointment.
