H - Helena

After the second episode - you will be hooked. The first episode wasn't quite a grabber but I felt that it had promise - I wasn't disappointed. The acting is excellent and the drama is above average. The story is just complicated enough to keep you from browsing your computer and expecting to come back and know what is going on. I would have rated the first episode a 6 and rarely give an 8 or better rating but when I start binge watching a show - I don't have to wonder if I am hooked or not. I have to disagree with one of the earlier reviews in that I am finding many of the Netflix international shows better than the American ones - I suspect because Netflix has to be careful about nudity for syndication in the US and that isn't a worry for countries that have moved into the 21st century socially.

I really didn't know what to expect from this Spanish series but I found it quite compelling. The theme, music, strong woman story and chemistry between actors, everything about the show was done rightly!

Not sure if we get a second season but I wish we'd have!

Excellent series I really liked, Adriana was fantastic in Helena's role, Janvier Rey was fantastic in Malpica's role.

A tasty cocktail poured over ice cool cubes of 1960s Barcelona night life. An intoxicating blend of gangster grit, sweet suspense, and a rich aftertaste of raw humanity. I'm not sure about the shaken, but it will leave you stirred. "Another season senor?" Don't mind if I do.

But mostly boring in long stretches. Could have taken 4 one hour episodes to tell the story completely. Lots of filler.
