1992

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.

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.

It was painful to watch, it is a mix of cheesy police thriller cliches (just never thrilling) with this deeply uninteresting lead characters, terrible characterisation of Seville, impossible plot, completely unbelievable but without any spectacularity. All the budget went into cgi fire. Seriously better miss this, by far the worst work of Alex de La Iglesia.

Maybe entertaining for really basic people, but i doubt it too since it is very slow.

The premise was fun, Sevilla's 1992 international expo still resonates in Spain's pop culture. It could have been so fun, but it ends in a lazy effort with cringeworthy overacted performances.

I am Spaniard so I have watched this without subtitles, what is a plus to watch this abomination lol. If you have watched several good Spanish Shows this one is not for you.

First, the script is a joke. It is a mixture of Nightmare on Elm Street with Alice in Wonderland and The Exterminator. I mean, what can go wrong?... Everything.

It starts interesting but soon sinks by itself. On the other hand, it is amazing how the more bad gets the show, the louder you laugh about any situation on it.

Second, the Fx's are mostly bad. Cheap, forgettable and obviously laughable.

Anyway, I don't want to spoil anything if you choose to watch this one. If not, you can watch for example "Antidisturbios" or "El cuerpo en llamas".

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.
