La víctima número 8

First of all, it is worth mentioning that I started watching this show on Netflix for curiosity, such as when something appears to you and the subconscious speaks to you. It turns out that Bilbao, the city where the plot takes place, is quite close to Pamplona, a city where I will live for study reasons in the coming years. Inconsequental data, neither more nor less, but that fact made me take a look to the tv show. Not only because I am going to be a foreigner living in Spain, as the main protagonist, but you can understand many things of the plot in particular.From there on out, I had a pleasant surprise. The series contains all the necessary elements to get attention. Good atmospheric environment, filmed in a beautiful place that is not often observed in Spanish cinema, and that contains intrigue, beautiful music, jihadist cells, discrimination, social conflicts and all those conflicts that emerge from being a "moro" on spanish soil. And it cannot be overlooked, that in addition to the elements mentioned above, the series is strengthened by the history of the Gaizka and Gorka brothers, who directly and indirectly, are the cause of important events in the series. Inaki Ardanaz performance as Gaizka and Cesar Mateo as Jamal seemed to me above average. One of the things I criticize the producers of the series is not having presented the terrorist attack itself. If they had offered us heartbreaking and cruel scenes of what happened, perhaps it gave a greater touch of seriousness and cruelty to the series, a crucial point to take it to another level and understand the complexity of the characters involved. The series fails in some aspects, but it is still a refreshing take to see something diffrent in Netflix, for once.

I gave it 8 because of some silly mistakes in directing and some questions without answers 1- no need for full naked bodies to prove they are not carrying bombs. Putting underwear doesn't oppose this issue.. 2- why did the journalist waited 8 months at the last episode to show the what's app image to the police officer 3-why did the bad officers leave omar. His lover, mother, police officer when more police came why ran away. They are police officers they should have said that omar killed the main officer And then they controlled the situation 4- wife if younger brother shouldn't have been killed in car track sho should have continued with serious rule at the drama

Overall.. Good show and good script.. However Not all actors are with the same professionaliy

Awesome !! What great actors ! I loved it ! And Cesar xoxoxo and for the ones who don't understand why one was wearing clothes and not the other just watch all the episodes! He was forced to make a video which we understand later, so they had to dress him up for that video ! But we understand that later! The people who have put a bad review for that reason should first try to understand what they missed! I loved this series !!!

Surprised that Netflix let this stinker see the light of day. First big plot hole - When they were captured they stripped naked so that captors would not think there were any explosives taped to their bodies. Ok, so far so good. Both were tied up naked to chairs and left alone. When captors came back, our hero was magically dressed. Just one of many. Acting was terrible especially the hero and his gf. Netflix, you owe me about 3 really good movies to make up for this stinker.

I hope there will be the second season, as the first 8 series have been great. The authors managed to create a very authentic "it's a jihadist attack, so shoot first, ask questions later" atmosphere.
