1992

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".

What to watch when you want to watch something but don't know what to watch?

Not to bad, not to good.

A little exaggerated sometimes, with some shades of sci-fi.

Don't play it when your are eager for something that would keep you in front of tv.

I don't agree with people saying it's bad acting. Actors are quite good and they make a realy good work as a team.

The story is good and as I said, if some details hadn't been exaggerated sometimes and it had been made a little more realistic, it would have been a 9/10 movie or maybe more.

The fact that it's in Spanish relaxed me, because I'm a bit bored with English-language movies.

If you have nothing better to watch, grab something to nibble on, a few beers, and hit play.

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.

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.

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.
