Burning Body

... Ursula Corbero a-real-deal-star ... acts the hell out of this very-well-done-production.. impossible taking eyes off her when she's onscreen, dominates every scene she's in... entire cast is truly exceptional.. this one of the finest productions not just from Spain, but from world-over

... when portraying a character that's a horrible individual, doing it as well as Corbero does, it's a testament to her consummate abilities as a really-great-actor... Netflix has a huge winner here, one of the finest on its current roster, it should remain on top for quite some time, and will be hard matching.. bravo-Netflix

... 6h 43min... give yourself time,.. you'll be hard pressed to stop watching straight through.

It all circles around the main character Rosa, played by Úrsula Corberó. Ursula is an amazing actress, performs very believable, sometimes too believable. That also applies to the rest of the cast by the way. The story is real and chilling and nicely brought to the screen by both director and camera work. Only I would have chosen for a shorter version with less details. Nevertheless it captivates and is heavy in a sense that it is difficult to bing watch. After the last episode I needed to come back to my senses; due to the great performances and chilling story. I recommend this series especially to commemorate the victims in this story.

I had no preconceived notions going in. Just looking for a murder mystery. I am a huge fan of true crime drama, and also procedural forensics. Yeah, if you are in search of a cinematic "tour de France" (joke turn of phrase that my late husband always used, instead on "tour de force"), this isn't it.

This way exceeded my expectations. I am not a native Spanish speaker, but I know enough to decipher the lyrics of the periodic background songs -- so the soundtrack is excellent, and is a sort of character in the story. To know this is a true story is telling within the framework of the series. This is a series that should be binge watched.

I am Catalan/Spaniard so I was expecting this mini series because I knew about this terrible crime/story. To be honest, the cast and direction here does an excellent job. Almost everything is great except for the crime.

First, the story is around 80% true so it is important to know that this crime had happened almost identical as the producers here want to explain.

Second, I have enjoyed the settings. Real and pretty similar to real life. I appreciate they used real locations and places where they used to move.

Last, there is something I don't really liked here. The music. It does not really fit well here. Forced, and nothing to do with the story. There was one time were I had to turn the volume down.

Anyway, nothing is perfect. But this mini series is great and I recommend to everyone who love inspired on true events, crime fiction. Enjoy!

This show is based on the true story of Rosa Peral, a member of the Barcelona police department, which was sentenced of 25 years in prison after the burnt body of her lover was found inside of his car.

The show compile a lot of the original facts from the case but also uses the drama to add a lot of what was the scandal back then when the case burst in social media. They used this show to reconstruct, of course with a lot of modification of some facts, how the inspectors came up with a story, a plan, to get her and her other lover (Albert Lopez) arrested for the crime.

I believe the show is worth to watch, very well produced, the music, the actors represente a superb role, specially Ursula Corberó who interpreted Rosa, and overall, makes you think and feel the intention of the show.
