Respira

Someone recommended this series because it has a flood in the last episode. This is exactly what is happening in Valencia right now (October 24). The series has the usual love stories and entanglements but it does it in a way that shines some light into the political situation in most European countries . The fight to have a public health system fully funded. The characters are all sleeping with each other but even that, happens in a credible way. They are a lot of gay characters and drugs play a role. The son of a doctor is always OD. The main characters is a handsome oncology doctor and the head of the Valencia government. Lot of eye candy everywhere since this is Valencia, Spain.

This is garbage, pure and simple! It's just another rip off of the constant stream of medical hospital dramas. The difference with this one is that it's really done extremely poorly to the point where most of the incidents bear no relation to medical reality. It's as if there were no medical adviser on the set! It would really be a stretch to believe that hospitals in Spain are so poorly run, but then again, maybe that is the case! As with all of the TV series from Spain, the sound is poorly engineered so that the dialog is mostly inaudible. They really need to hire sound engineers or use modern equipment and technology to ensure clarity of the soundtrack!

The series is a mess. If it was meant to be a critique of the privatization of public hospitals in Spain, it certainly did a disservice to public healthcare. Characters without discernment, completely lacking values in fulfilling their duties. Ridiculous and forced situations. Did they really want to defend public healthcare with these storylines? I imagine that progressive Spanish unionists who are staunch defenders of public healthcare must be very disappointed and angry with this series. If their initiatives are ridiculous, this series makes them look even worse. Not everything goes when it comes to seeking attention or protesting.

If you watched Grey's Anatomy, then you will know what is it about. More or less all these shows are the same with more or less drama and since this is the Spanish serious that means drama drama drama drama. I must say that I really enjoying the acting of almost all characters and sometimes I need to tell myself wait this is not real.

At the end, this is the show that you know how it will go all the way With all social problems and all equalities included at the moment a bit forced.. So it's not bad it's not amazing.

You should check it out by yourself and decide if it's worth of watching or not.

The production follows stereotypes that have been used in almost all Spanish productions, whether films or series, for a long time and in only one direction.

The situations presented in the series are predictable and easy to solve, without deviations and, in some cases, impossible to achieve.

The actors do their job well, giving life to those stereotypes that I mentioned earlier, giving life to and trying to justify the different situations.

It is not a recommendable series due to its final quality as a whole and it is better to choose others to fill our free time and there are still many good ones to enjoy.
