Estoy Vivo

The 1st season, without being original, had its charms. From there on, it just went more and more idiotic. Poorly written and cliché ridden, stilted dialogues, bad acting and incompetently shot and edited action scenes. The whole thing is so disjointed that it's painful to watch.

I didn't know what to expect since I hadn't heard anything about this serie. I just fell in love with it. It combines a good police plot with fantasy/science fiction. Outstanding performance of Javier Gutierrez

This is more a review of the first season than the second. First, a bit of background: a cop Andrés Vargas is killed by a sadistic serial killer and we see him go to the Passage, the transition to the afterlife. While processing Vargas, oops, it seems a little mistake was made. He actually shouldn't have died. When he demands to return to his life on Earth, to his wife, two daughters, and his elderly father, the Passage informs him that is impossible because time on Earth moves much more quickly. Five years have already passed since his (non-)death, and Andrés Vargas is long dead & buried. The best they can do is to return him to Earth in another body, Manuel Márquez

As it so turns out, his new body looks nothing like his old self, but Vargas does get to return to his old job in his old precinct. The catch is that his new assigned partner is his daughter, who has grown up & become a cop during his absence. The other catch is that if he tells anyone his true identity, he really will die, for good this time. He figures that being near his family, even if he must hide his true identity, is better than nothing at all.

With his daughter as his partner and a rather odd companion from the Passage named Iago, Márquez chases down the serial killer responsible for his death and the murders of a number of young women. Estoy vivo is hardly your typical cop show, however. It's also a supernatural thriller, with elements of family drama, romance, and goofball humor all thrown into the mix.

Honestly, I watched every episode of the first season at least three times. I must have watched the Season 1 finale a half-dozen times. From one minute to the next, I am doubled over laughing, then terrified, then on the brink of tears. Believe it or not, the show manages to navigate through the comedy, drama, suspense, and police action as if such nuttiness were totally normal.

The second season wasn't nearly as good. While still a great series, a single viewing of every episode sufficed. That said, I am literally counting the days until the Season 3 premiere.

Nice series produced by Globomedia and RTVE dealing with an unfortunate cop named Andrés Vargas (Roberto Álamo) , as he dies chasing a serial killer nicknamed El Carnicero or The Butcher (Mon Ceballos) , a psychopath who has already killed five women and is reincarnated in another policeman in the body of Manuel Márquez (Javier Gutiérrez), five years later , granted immortality in exchange of never revealing his true identity . As Vargas will have the opportunity to return to life, but five years later and another police officer . But he will not be alone in his return to the world of the living , El Enlace (Alejo Sauras) will be his companion in these special circumstances. In his efforts to stop the Midnight Butcher, both of whom join forces to track him down.

In the second season, Márquez, El Enlace or The Link , Sebas and the entire police station will have to face a very influential and powerful figure in the economic sector , Augusto Mendieta , who keeps a secret that has to do with his heart, with the Victoria Building and with the Link itself. On the other hand, Márquez and El Enlace must help a little girl who is looking for her family and who is from the time of the Spanish civil war . Also , it will be seen who is the winner of the battle between good and evil once and for all . In Season 3 concerns a traffic accident that changes the rules in the life of the Vargas family.

On the other hand, the earthlings of Vallecas are invaded by beings from another planet whose reason for her arrival and her true intentions are unknown . In the Season 4 it all starts with a global blackout that also affects the Catwalk or La Pasarela .

I got to love each character. The author picked the best of the best cast. I'm amazed with the things that happened. I got all kind of emotions, I enjoyed the funny, the action mixed with funny, I cried, the suspense. ABSOLUTELY The Best Story I ever watched. I recommend it to watch it, once you get into it, you don't want to stop. Congratulations to the producer and to each cast including Papuchi (the dog). The happy ending was so beautiful. I loved it!
