Parot

This series is quite remarkable in many regards, from acting to script, locations and depiction of the fictional consequences of a recent judiciary drama in Spain (the reversal of the Parot doctrine by the Strasbourg international Court). Only caveat: this real-life fact underlying the fiction should be much more clearly explained from episode 1 both for international audiences and for the younger generations in Spain. Adriana Ugarte and Blanca Portillo are magnificent and convincing, as is Javier Albalá. The criticism of the gutter press in Spain is very justified, and the character of the gossip journalist bears a strong resemblance to some very public characters.

This tv show is quite good but as it advanced it is clear that there are no mysteries of relevance and it goes round the same thing for too long.

It doesn't seem dubbed by looking at the mouths but the dialog is horrible. It sounds like it has been dubbed in English. It is like a group of people reading the dialog from a script in the background.

Great idea that sinks because of several reasons.

First, main cast does only an OK job. Nothing remarkable and mostly amateurish.

Second, the script is predictable from beginning till the end. So many weird situations and dialogues full of the usual cliches, and unbelievable situations.

Last, the Fx's and deaths looked cheap to me. I'm not sure about the budget but it looks like more a soap opera than an Amazon's series. I bet no second season for sure.

So, overall a good idea, but extremely poor execution. Watch Zero, zero, zero instead, of you want to watch a great quality Amazon's mini series.
