1992

I have been using IMDB for last 8 years and first time I felt necessity to submit a review for a serial.

Beside bad acting and worst script why director showed his/her weather fetish. While it rains on actor behind him it is a sunny day. While wind blows all leaves all trees behind stand still. Unbelievable.

Wish the show at least showed us nice places in Sevilla but no chance. A gym addicted ex cop an adult widow and worse side actors.

If you have low budget you should made it in 3 episodes not 6.

A raging alcoholic ex-cop and a strident widow team up to get to the bottom of a murderous mystery that somehow involves the 1992 Seville Expo and its official mascot, Curro. The show isn't without its flaws but it's enjoyable thanks to its combination of darkness and quirky humor, its unconventional structure and some decent performances. The series is strangely effective - and affecting - in its portrayal of addiction. It's less successful in its attempts to say something profound about government corruption and official abuses of power, which come off as hammy and overdone. Overall it's an imperfect but engaging series.

The 1992 serial didn't live up to expectations and felt below average overall.

The story started off okay but was stretched out across too many episodes. Instead of keeping things exciting, the plot felt slow, and the thrilling climax didn't come until the last episode. By then, it didn't have the impact it should have.

The series dragged on unnecessarily, with some episodes feeling like filler. The story moved very slowly, which made it harder to stay interested.

The acting didn't do justice to the story. The performances were not very strong, and the actors didn't make the characters feel real or exciting. This made it hard to connect with the story.

Overall, the 1992 serial was a letdown. It's a below-average series with slow pacing, weak acting, and a disappointing ending. If you're looking for a thrilling series, this one may not be the best choice.

Some excellent productions have come out from Spain, this certainly is not one of them.

The barebones story could possibly have made for some entertaining TV, but not in the way it was actually done.

The first thing you may notice is the absolute horrible acting throughout, expecially from the protagonists "Richi" and "Amparo" but also from pretty much everybody else.

Then there are scenes, lots of scenes, so impossible idiotic and cringe it is actually insulting to the viewer.

Think of horror movies from the 80s, where people do obviously did the worst possible thing at every given time and therefore died. You look at it and just can't fathom what you see.

Why I wasted so much time on this I don't know. Maybe I was hoping for some kind of twist or revelation that would have made it worthwhile. But that never happened.

1992 is a solid mini-series by Álex de la Iglesia, blending suspense and personal drama with his distinctive storytelling flair. Set in the mysterious and evocative backdrop of Seville during Expo '92, the show follows Amparo's relentless quest for answers after her husband's untimely death.

While not groundbreaking, the series keeps viewers engaged with its intriguing plot and complex characters. Fernando Valdivielso and Marian Álvarez deliver compelling performances, particularly in portraying the raw, flawed humanity of their roles. The pacing can feel uneven at times, but the unique narrative style of de la Iglesia compensates for these minor shortcomings.

Best suited for those who enjoy slow-burn mysteries with a dash of dark humor, 1992 is an enjoyable watch that highlights de la Iglesia's ability to blend the ordinary with the extraordinary.

Rating: 7/10 - A decent, stylistically rich series worth a try.
