Sky Rojo

This a is a real gem. It is over the top at times but is great fun. At its core it has real heart and you can't help but root for the three leading ladies even when they revealing all their flaws. There is also a genuine and realistic portrayal of the sex trafficking industry. Some might find the portrayals of violence too explicit, it is extremely graphic, visceral and not for the squeamish.

You can view the three seasons as a three act play and I would recommend you watch all three in quick succession. Fine performances from all involved with a tremendous soundtrack on top, there is much to like.

Amazing music, anyone agrees? Loved the music at the end of each episode, brilliant choices.

Very high productionquality, acting and story... some scenes might seem a little dragged out, but these women are so much fun to watch. empowering strippers :D

If you are looking for another Alberto (Miguel Angel Silvestre) and Raul (Asier Etxeandia) best stop here because Velvet it ain't! Their characters couldn't be more different, Romeo - Asier Etxeandia is the nasty club owner and Moises - Miguel Angel Silvestre is one of his henchmen. It's a club with prostitutes and Romeo justifies it as necessary for the economy, they make him a lot of money and work to clear their debts, but they never clear their debts. The opportunity arises and 3 of the girls escape, no spoilers as to why. The henchmen go after them. Their back stories are revealed as to why they all end up at the club. It's a great little story of girls getting their inner strength to fight back, short episodes and definitely lined up for another series. I enjoyed it.

However, started series two and just finished episode 2 and not going any further, I won't change my star rating as I gave it for series one. Stars for 2 would be 2 or 3. I couldn't get into it, made no sense, no story line and clearly the writers didn't have a story in mind either. Life is too short to persevere.

I watched all 3 seasons of Sky Rojo (24 episodes at a half-hour each give or take a minute) in a week, which is quick for me. The story of 3 prostitutes in a Tenerife brothel who go on the run after stealing their pimp boss's money zips by, each episode ending on a mini-cliffhanger which makes it almost impossible not to want to immediately watch the next one. Veronica Sanchez, Lali Esposito and Yany Prado are crazy good as the 3 hookers on the lam, and Asier Etxeandia plays the wonderfully irredeemable brothel boss Romeo. A word of warning - some scenes are particularly violent, gory even, so watcher beware. That said, a definite a thrill-a-minute watch.
