Brigada Costa del Sol

This show is fantastic, set in 1970s Spain as it adjusts to post Franco dictatorship. The drugs trade is booming in Torremolinos and four police officers are thrown together and become the areas first drugs squad. The characters are excellent, the script and plot is great, the attention to the 70s setting is faultless, and after a slow start, it just gets better and better. It is such a shame that Netflix cancelled the second series, as there are so many loose ends to tie up at the end of season one. Watch in Spanish with English subs for the best vibe.

I loved this show, reminded me of the Sweeney and the professionals from the 70s and 80s. I think the show is intentionally old school and a bit cheesy, but the lot is fun and the characters interesting. I liked the resolution of series one which ties up the story but leaves things open for a second season. There is a bit too much 'male gaze' on Sara Saloma in the camera work, but she is stunning so.....

It can be a slightly slow burn in the beginning, but by the time you're half way through the series you're engrossed in the characters and narrative, with a deepening appreciation for the acting and script.

Good Script and great shooting. The best 70s in South Spain

Honestly I was a bit dissapointed after the first episode. I thought to pretenciuos maybe. But I kept watching , because it reflects so well (almost perfect) the spnish cost live in the late 70's. Chapter after chapter the script was getting better, acting was spotless and the whole serie very catching. Absolutely well done, and great job of the Art Direction !!! A must see....
