First of all, it is worth mentioning that I started watching this show on Netflix for curiosity, such as when something appears to you and the subconscious speaks to you. It turns out that Bilbao, the city where the plot takes place, is quite close to Pamplona, a city where I will live for study reasons in the coming years. Inconsequental data, neither more nor less, but that fact made me take a look to the tv show. Not only because I am going to be a foreigner living in Spain, as the main protagonist, but you can understand many things of the plot in particular.From there on out, I had a pleasant surprise. The series contains all the necessary elements to get attention. Good atmospheric environment, filmed in a beautiful place that is not often observed in Spanish cinema, and that contains intrigue, beautiful music, jihadist cells, discrimination, social conflicts and all those conflicts that emerge from being a "moro" on spanish soil. And it cannot be overlooked, that in addition to the elements mentioned above, the series is strengthened by the history of the Gaizka and Gorka brothers, who directly and indirectly, are the cause of important events in the series. Inaki Ardanaz performance as Gaizka and Cesar Mateo as Jamal seemed to me above average. One of the things I criticize the producers of the series is not having presented the terrorist attack itself. If they had offered us heartbreaking and cruel scenes of what happened, perhaps it gave a greater touch of seriousness and cruelty to the series, a crucial point to take it to another level and understand the complexity of the characters involved. The series fails in some aspects, but it is still a refreshing take to see something diffrent in Netflix, for once.

Good story, great acting and it moved along as good as any series I've seen lately. Netflix has a good one here. Deserves an A+ for this one as do the actors and director.
The action is slow without salt and pepper. Is ridiculous to believe that the action can happen in real life as in the series. 6 because the acting is good, the idea is good, directionis good, but ruined for someone ambition probably to write the most ridiculous script that in every episode doesn't make sense. Not a great montage but good music

A solid series. Not high quality, but just okay. If you have to wait for a new season of your favorite series, this is a good pastime.

Keeps you on the edge of your seat! A must watch! Terrific acting. Makes one think about the current state of affairs in the world with respect to religion.
Don't listen to the bad reviews!!

I hope there will be the second season, as the first 8 series have been great. The authors managed to create a very authentic "it's a jihadist attack, so shoot first, ask questions later" atmosphere.

Lots of wailing and shouting, a story that got lost somewhere in the middle, a surviving brother with a dodgy moustache who barely utters a word and looks terrified all the time, and the wrongful casting of an actress - María de Nati who not only looks 10 years old, she also acts like it. So unbelievable it was laughable.
Sorry, but its certainly not one to binge watch, but is ok to go back to when there is nothing else to watch - for a good laugh.

I enjoyed this show sooo much! I binged watched this show in 2 days. I could have finished it in 1 day as I left only 2 episodes for the second day. Great plot, suspenseful, great twists, unexpected stuff, I just really enjoyed it. I really hope there's a season 2!

Awesome !! What great actors ! I loved it ! And Cesar xoxoxo
and for the ones who don't understand why one was wearing clothes and not the other just watch all the episodes! He was forced to make a video which we understand later, so they had to dress him up for that video ! But we understand that later! The people who have put a bad review for that reason should first try to understand what they missed!
I loved this series !!!

I gave it 8 because of some silly mistakes in directing and some questions without answers
1- no need for full naked bodies to prove they are not carrying bombs. Putting underwear doesn't oppose this issue..
2- why did the journalist waited 8 months at the last episode to show the what's app image to the police officer
3-why did the bad officers leave omar. His lover, mother, police officer when more police came why ran away. They are police officers they should have said that omar killed the main officer And then they controlled the situation
4- wife if younger brother shouldn't have been killed in car track sho should have continued with serious rule at the drama
Overall.. Good show and good script.. However Not all actors are with the same professionaliy

Good fun as long as you accept that, whatever its own pretensions might be, this is not a serious crime drama. You can make a nice collection of plot holes; episode 4 is a particularly good hunting ground. Most of the characters are good value and kept a smile on my face. There is fine exploration of the urban landscape of Bilbao.

Very very good plot and suspenful, really disappointed that there is no second season !!!
The story of Omar Jamal is so interesting and its makes you feel the pain and suspence his mos and his girlfriend have . From the first episode you get addicted to this series and then when you realise that there are only 8 series you think thats not enough !!! I think thT the series should be renewed since there are still many questionmarks on the movie ending . There ks space for another season or two if the Family o Gaizka does more to hide the truth . Hopefully its continues and happy that found this series on 2023 !!

As I said in the title, last episode was, according to me, a delusion. I was expecting a better solution to the story of Omar and Edurne. I hope in a second season but the first was filmed in 2019 so my hope is broken. In my opinion, some very important question remain unresolved and this is a great pity. Obviously I don't know if the series was scheduled by the start only in one season; if so 1 or 2 episodes more were better. To me, actors very good, exciting story, not so slow as someone said .Unfortunately the actor who plays Gorostiza is dead and I express my condolences to all the family .

Surprised that Netflix let this stinker see the light of day. First big plot hole - When they were captured they stripped naked so that captors would not think there were any explosives taped to their bodies. Ok, so far so good. Both were tied up naked to chairs and left alone. When captors came back, our hero was magically dressed. Just one of many. Acting was terrible especially the hero and his gf. Netflix, you owe me about 3 really good movies to make up for this stinker.

The script has some cunning twists, the subject invites to enjoy a thriller but the end result is dissapointing, you will find inmersed in an afternoon soap opera with shallow drama and boring dialogues. The acting is discrete and comes along with stereotypical cardboard characters
