1992

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.

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.

Everything Alex De la Iglesia does is as good and many times even better than an American production.

He is able to make very espectacular scenes; even without having the local USA budgets.

The actor are not beautifil or young but very natural and very belivables.

Besides; he has not the censorship from American series (outside NETFLIX) that are always looking for the POLITICAL CORRECTNESS instead on focusing on the real life.

In brief; is the best thriller series NETFLIX put this year by far; and really deserves and audience and a follow up. I saw it in ONE NIGHT and did not wanted to it end. Franky OUTSTANDING.

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.

So bad an.d confusing. The acting is poor and the plot is unclear. There are so many random scenes that could easily had been left out. It's like they didn't had a script. The main characters walks from one wierd situation to and other. The story could easily have been told in 3 episodes instead of 6 and could even have been a decent story. Thecstiry telling is so inconsistent and unrealistic to the extreme. Sometimes it's like watching a really bad comedy and giving the story it's just bad taste. Again it's is so random but luckily one of the main characters gives the other main character an occasional recap and guess what, it's still random.
