El embarcadero

The pier is a show that promises a lot, but ends up delivering fairly little. There are many exciting questions about living a double life. Can both be real; or is there a more real one? Can you do it and stay sane at the same time? How comes that people close to you do not notice it? This is where the show starts off, and it presents a somewhat credible base story with decent acting. Some of the side stories are overdone, but they are still OK. The bad thing is that unfortunately the dialogue is often poor, and the reason it really hurts is because the whole shows is dragged out much too long. I felt that a 6-episode miniseries would have been more than enough, then I had to learn in episode eight that the producers would probably like to make another season. It is not worth that much.

I liked all in these 8 episodes The photography, the acting, the directing and of course the story around these men and women in today's Spain. The story captured my attention form beginning to end. I hope there will be more episodes.

I honestly didn't know what I was embarking on when watching this show. Turns out, it is captivating, emotional (but not soapy), the acting and the plot are perfect, keep you hooked. I like the fact that it's perfectly balanced between the different storylines. I hadn't seen time pass when I found myself watching the season 1 finale. How come it's not more famous?

But please, can someone suggest where to find season 2! It gives anxiety not to be able to finish the story. Please please suggest!

I can't believe all the bad reviews. I loved this story and the characters. I do agree that it could have been told in one season, however I was sad to see it end. It was a beautiful love story that shows how tragedy can bring people together.
