I Know Who You Are

Started off well but found story too drawn out, the characters not very interesting and by the last episode really couldn't have cared less what happened to Ana.

Saturday night is the worst evening for TV please bring back some superb Scandi noir series - no more Inspector Montalbano either !!

Loved the beginning, it would have made a great 8 episode serie. But for whatever reason, they decided to turn it into a 16 very long episodes. Especially the last 6 ones are sloppy, confusing. Come on, spit it out, stop beating around the bush!

And what about a change of clothes from time to time, dears? All the characters wear the same ones all over the show!

Last but not least, two characters made it much less enjoyable than it could have been:

Eva Duran, with her always sad angry face, sad angry eyes and sad angry hairdo, yelling all the time, just unbearable. And this ridiculous little bag she's carrying all the time, during trials, investigations, as well as this awful brown-ish coat,. She's supposed to be sooo hot. Well, she's sooo not. She's dull, insignificant, annoying.

And Marta Hess. Lo and behold, here comes the smartest one in the room (in every room, for that matter), walking like she owns the world, always a smirk on her face that makes you want to slap her. And yes, she's got a leather jacket, if you didn't notice it. Who casted that drag of an "actress"?

The problem with these kind of details (some would say), is that once you saw them, you can unsee them, and they spoil the fun big time.

From the beginning a story-line that draws you in and holds you spellbound. Later on, it does get complicated - if you're the kind that likes involved mystery plots then you'll love it.

It is a dark piece and it is true that one can't actually warm to many of the characters – even the victims usually have their dark side.

I like the skillful changes of pace throughout, you're never more than a short time away from the next gripping high point but there are plentiful pauses to help you assimilate what is going on.

I thought most characters were acted very well indeed. The main character Juan Elias played by Francesc Garrido I've seen described as "wooden" but I thought that this was actually a deliberate reflection of his inscrutable screen persona. As he is faced with more challenges later in the series I think you can really see the subtlety in how Francesc portrays him.

Like many I was very disappointed to be left hanging at the end of episode 10. I speak Spanish and soon discovered that in Spain there were another six episodes available. The story-line up to the last episode in the UK did not make it a natural moment to break the series.

In answer to previous questions I can confirm that if you purchase the box set of DVDs from Spain, with the title and packaging in Spanish – containing 6 DVDs you will get all episodes 1-16.

The UK version contains fewer CDs and 10 episodes. To be clear – the Spanish release does not, I repeat, does not have English subtitles. I found the dialogue and the plot a bit too fast to follow comfortably in Spanish as I am not a native speaker, but there are Spanish subtitles intended for the hard of hearing. I used these and it made all the difference. No difficulty in following the dialogue. I doubt that beginner or intermediate Spanish would suffice.

The 6 disc version is available on some Spanish websites with delivery to the UK. Or try ebay - search for 6DVD set Se Quien Eres.

Really enjoyed the episoades, seen them all in one week, couldn t stop watching. Great job, actors, performing. Spain, keep up the good work!

Top-notch , tense television series in which step by step suspense and mystery stars to be unfolded until a moving finale with no rest. This is a nice Thriller series in 16 episodes with plenty of tension, intrigue , shocks and plot twists. Well paced series with a lot of surprises that will have you on the edge of your seat from start to finish .It is a highly cerebral and mysterious thriller filled with cliffhangers , plot twists and unexpected denouement un its ending part . The original as well as entertaining premise is overspread throughout the movie , adding some brief convencional pitfalls . This nice series is frankly good , though sometimes confusing and repetitive, as well as overlong , as sixteen episodes turn out to be too much . Two main protagonists, Francesc Garrido and Blanca Portillo give terrific acting . Support cast is pretty good such as Aida Folch as an intelligent advocate , Nancho Novo as father of the missing girl , Eva Santolaria as a Public Prosecutor , Antonio Dechent as a cunning lawyer, Álvaro de Luna as the imprisoned grandfather , Pepon Nieto as a tough cop, Mar Sodupe , Susana Abaitua , Macarena Gómez, Biel Duran, Diana Gómez, Nausicaa Bonin , Susana Becquer , among others .The series was well written , produced and directed by Pau Freixas. He is a good Spanish TV director who has written , produced and directed important series , such as : Días de Navidad , Citas , La Fuga , Pulseras Rojas, Los Misterios de Laura , Hermanos y Detectives , Ris Cientifica . And occassionally for cinema such as : Heroes , Cámara Oscura , and Cactus . Rating 7/10 . Better than average . Well worth watching .
