Nacho Vigalondo creates a hyper-surreal series of pure enjoyment, a style certainly needed to tell of Spain's trashy icon, Tamara, a short sensation at the very start of the 21st century. Even more creative - and very brave - is to do it via the supposedly life of those who contributed to Tamara's rise to fame for all the wrong reasons, mainly through the idiot box. A twisted and refreshing retelling of a person's dream used and abused by others (from management to her mother) with their own hypercritical agendas, and makes you wonder if Tamara was the only sane person with true intentions of being a music pop artist...

I felt marveled in the first episode, wasn't sure what I was watching, but didn't want to stop. It uses magical realism to describe some events, in a way that the same old story of artists thriving for fame, presents itself as refreshing and unique.

I really recomend watching no more than one episode per day, so you can enjoy all the art that each chapter presents, also because this is filled with so many emotions, of all kinds that can feel like a roller coaster, but surely one that you want to jump in.

I just do not put 10 stars because nothing can be perfect, but I cannot spot anything wrong with this series yet.
