Loved This!

I don't know what the people who gave it bad reviews were watching. I thought it was excellent, I binge watched this over a period of half a day. It was that good.

You can see the similarities with 'Narcos' and I think it holds it's own with it. Like Narcos, based on a true story and real life characters. Brings another dimension to the cocaine trade and how it entered Europe.

I recommend it highly, you should still be able to catch it on Netflix.

It is just the way it was

The screenplay is based in the first giant judicial cause against narcos in Spain. It is a perfect representation of the time: the music, the accent, the way they move, the clothing, the cars, how they male smoke, the Atlantic ocean. The political corruption. In the first years of democracy in Spain. Don't expect it to be an American narcos series. It is just the way it was.

Fariña is the example that the open series (Antena 3) can be of great quality

Fariña is the example that the open series (Antena 3) can be of great quality. Outside the controversy with the book on which it is based, which can be used to put pure gossip, there is much more. The theme almost inherited from Narcos to the Spanish in Galicia works like a shot and presents protagonists with as much charisma as Pablo Escobar. The format of 10 chapters helps that the series has almost no filling and the distribution of budget is noted.

Great Plot and good performaces!

This show is based on the real story of the Narcos in Spain during the 80s. The era is really god presented here in every aspect.

I really enjoyed this show. There are great actors here like the GC Sargent by Tristan Ulloa or all the narcos.

Trivia
The novel the series is based on was seized by court order on February 2018, only to rocket to the top of Amazon's bestsellers list before the seizure was enforced. Antena 3 took advantage of the controversy to set an early premiere, since the series was not affected by the order, which eventually turned into the full series release. The seizure order was lifted in June 2018, more than a month after the series finale aired.

Goofs
The series often shows TV broadcasts in black and white despite beginning in 1981, years after the Spanish public broadcasting company switched completely to color in 1977. However, it is possible that all the TVs in the series just happen to be old models that cannot show color.
