Fariña

This based in true events serie is one of the best production coming from Spain this year. The casting and actors are all at their best, most of them I expect to see again in the coming years due to this success. I have to mention the choice of music which is perfect to create the thrill of the story, it gives the right 80s rock, punk and folk atmosphere and social background.

The serie tells the story of narco trafficking in Galicia (north of Spain) in the 80s and how it changed the economy, society and politics. The serie focuses on the families and clans that went from being cigarettes smugglers to become narcos and the consequences of their decisions.

Watch it if you are looking for a thrilling narco story on an unique setting.

Don't read comments,just watch a series it's a badass.

Fariña is the example that the open series (Antena 3) can be of great quality. Outside the controversy with the book on which it is based, which can be used to put pure gossip, there is much more. The theme almost inherited from Narcos to the Spanish in Galicia works like a shot and presents protagonists with as much charisma as Pablo Escobar. The format of 10 chapters helps that the series has almost no filling and the distribution of budget is noted.

The screenplay is based in the first giant judicial cause against narcos in Spain. It is a perfect representation of the time: the music, the accent, the way they move, the clothing, the cars, how they male smoke, the Atlantic ocean. The political corruption. In the first years of democracy in Spain. Don't expect it to be an American narcos series. It is just the way it was.

Impressive in all ways. Recreation of that years, actors, script, direction. Is the best spanish serie I have seen in a long time.
