Antidisturbios

I was 25 years as a " riot cop " and this TV series does a great job of showing how it is. Life on the van , the chaos of a violent hostile crowd, the confusion and questionable ethics involved in evictions , the stress of being under investigation, the impact on your home life, the comradeship and how it can all turn sour under pressure. Clearly the makers had input from serving or retired Police. Sure some things are exaggerated for dramatic effect but by and large this is nailed on. Great acting and also a fantastic soundtrack. I would highly recommend this TV series.

This TV show is brilliant and is raw. Realistic and very very intense! One of the best shows of the year so far.

Amazing, realistic series. When I thought it was going to be about random daily "adventures" of a bunch of riot policemen, it turned out a deep plot amazingly played by great actors, who portray with absolute realism the Spanish character and life.

A nice series dealing with six riot policemen who carry out an allegedly ordinary assignment : an eviction, but then things go wrong . As the squadron realizing their police work is charged with involuntary homicide. As it results in an ill-fated eviction with fateful consequences. Along the way a team of investigation of Internal Affairs takes charge of interrogating them and discover the reality of the events .

The series packs the thrilling developing an eviction, it is magnificently shot with tension , movement , thriller and being extremely realist . There are various interesting roles being well portrayed , including an engaging and provoking character studio. As the motley members of the squad attempt to follow their own way out which ends up causing confrontation and rifts among them . The group of protagonists are frankly excelent , giving portentous interpretations, such as Raúl Arevalo , Alex García, Patrick Criado, Roberto Alamo , Raul Prieto, Keuchkerian , while Vicky Luengo plays perfectly the obstinate Police Inspector of the Internal Affairs who becomes really obsessed with the twisted case discovering below the unfortunate eviction there is anything else .

The series was competently created and directed by Rodrigo Sorogoyen. Rodrigo has directed successful TV series as Pecera de Eva , Fragiles , Vida Loca , Impares . He has made notorious films as 8 citas, Stockholm , Que Dios nos perdone or My God save us , El Reino or The Candidate , and usually working with his fetish actor : Antonio de la Torre . Furthermore , he made a short that was Oscar nominated titled : Madre , subsequently Rodrigo became into a long running film. Rating : 7.5/10 . Better than average . Well worth watching .

Are All Cops B....as the Stefano Sollima's film made in 2012 suggested? If you watch closely both films, the topics and directing skills are very close, very...If not nearly similar. The true and so realistic way to describe the inner life and issues which street cops meet in the modern world, so close to what we see each week here, in France, where it is always question of brutality and violence pulled against or by policemen in their duty. This pure jewel from Spain doesn't only emphasize on the police burden but also on the social and politics problems, such as poverty, migrants, bribery, corruption spreading everywhere. Yes, this is defintely a social drama, more than a crime. Acting, directing, screenplay, everything is terrific. The only little drawback I would mention is in the fifth episode. But I will describe it on this episode comment line. Read it....
