H

From IMDB: "Inspired by real events, Hache is the story of Helena, a woman catapulted to the heroin trafficking business in the Barcelona of the 60s. Creator: Verónica Fernández. Stars: Adriana Ugarte, Eduardo Noriega, Marc Martínez."

Two seasons, 16 x 50 minute episodes. No doubt season 3 is upcoming.

Hache (Spanish for the letter "H" (Helena), starring the gorgeous Adriana Ugarte rises from humble beginnings to run a night club and Heroin manufacturing business. As so often happens, her closest 'associates' are her biggest enemies and she has to use all her wits to survive.

Amazing to see the Barcelona, fashion and cars from almost sixty years ago. In many ways Hache reminds me of 'Queen of the South', where another strong woman rises from the ashes and becomes a Narco boss in Mexico.

Lot's of smoking, drug use, and gang violence, so no kiddies to watch this. I give Hache and 8/10. Easy to binge watch.

Not a bad series her character is way overblown which ruins a decent story. The detective is one dimensional too. I watched most of the series hoping she would be terminated very irritating character.

Check our Cost Del Sol much higher quality well written and acted series.

A tasty cocktail poured over ice cool cubes of 1960s Barcelona night life. An intoxicating blend of gangster grit, sweet suspense, and a rich aftertaste of raw humanity. I'm not sure about the shaken, but it will leave you stirred. "Another season senor?" Don't mind if I do.

After the second episode - you will be hooked. The first episode wasn't quite a grabber but I felt that it had promise - I wasn't disappointed. The acting is excellent and the drama is above average. The story is just complicated enough to keep you from browsing your computer and expecting to come back and know what is going on. I would have rated the first episode a 6 and rarely give an 8 or better rating but when I start binge watching a show - I don't have to wonder if I am hooked or not. I have to disagree with one of the earlier reviews in that I am finding many of the Netflix international shows better than the American ones - I suspect because Netflix has to be careful about nudity for syndication in the US and that isn't a worry for countries that have moved into the 21st century socially.

If you are used to American TV shows then by that standard it is a bit slow. The pilot is measured yet entertaining and laids a good foundation. Despite being a predictable story and characters full of cliches, it is never boring. Keeps you interested just enough to click on the next episode button. The most positive aspect about the show is the acting. From minor characters to the three protagonists the acting is superb. Can't say that about 80 percent of Netflix's other international ventures. Give it a shot! It is worth it.
