If you are used to American TV shows then by that standard it is a bit slow. The pilot is measured yet entertaining and laids a good foundation. Despite being a predictable story and characters full of cliches, it is never boring. Keeps you interested just enough to click on the next episode button. The most positive aspect about the show is the acting. From minor characters to the three protagonists the acting is superb. Can't say that about 80 percent of Netflix's other international ventures. Give it a shot! It is worth it.

From IMDB: "Inspired by real events, Hache is the story of Helena, a woman catapulted to the heroin trafficking business in the Barcelona of the 60s. Creator: Verónica Fernández. Stars: Adriana Ugarte, Eduardo Noriega, Marc Martínez."

Two seasons, 16 x 50 minute episodes. No doubt season 3 is upcoming.

Hache (Spanish for the letter "H" (Helena), starring the gorgeous Adriana Ugarte rises from humble beginnings to run a night club and Heroin manufacturing business. As so often happens, her closest 'associates' are her biggest enemies and she has to use all her wits to survive.

Amazing to see the Barcelona, fashion and cars from almost sixty years ago. In many ways Hache reminds me of 'Queen of the South', where another strong woman rises from the ashes and becomes a Narco boss in Mexico.

Lot's of smoking, drug use, and gang violence, so no kiddies to watch this. I give Hache and 8/10. Easy to binge watch.

But mostly boring in long stretches. Could have taken 4 one hour episodes to tell the story completely. Lots of filler.

I really didn't know what to expect from this Spanish series but I found it quite compelling. The theme, music, strong woman story and chemistry between actors, everything about the show was done rightly!

Not sure if we get a second season but I wish we'd have!

Love this series. We'll made with high fidelity cinematography that represents the epoch pretty well. The music is also very good.

A tasty cocktail poured over ice cool cubes of 1960s Barcelona night life. An intoxicating blend of gangster grit, sweet suspense, and a rich aftertaste of raw humanity. I'm not sure about the shaken, but it will leave you stirred. "Another season senor?" Don't mind if I do.

Not a bad series her character is way overblown which ruins a decent story. The detective is one dimensional too. I watched most of the series hoping she would be terminated very irritating character.

Check our Cost Del Sol much higher quality well written and acted series.

Excellent series I really liked, Adriana was fantastic in Helena's role, Janvier Rey was fantastic in Malpica's role.

Barcelona, 1960. Helena's husband is in jail and she needs money to get him a decent lawyer. She finds work with the gangster Malpica, a heroin importer and distributor. A drug turf war is underway and Malpica is quite ruthless, leaving a trail of dead bodies in his wake. The string of murders has the police interested and they have a team trying to identify the culprit. The police investigations and drug war also put Helena in the firing line. In her new world, Helena is known simply by her initial - Hache.

This TV series had the potential to be quite interesting, and at first glance seemed to be a combination of The Sopranos and Breaking Bad. However, it is soon apparent that this is nowhere near either of those two superb shows.

The plot is not that intriguing and largely seems to go sideways rather than forward. Very drawn out and padded, making for dull viewing.

Character engagement is limited. We should be empathetic towards Helena / Hache but while she's not a dislikeable character she is actually quite bland. There's no other characters worth supporting, except maybe the cop Vinuesa but he's also rather dull.

To top it off, production values are not that great. Colours seem drab, making the dull script even more lifeless. For a 2019 series there's none of the crispness and depth you'd expect from HD. It seemed so bad I thought I was watching it in 480 p resolution! Turned out it was 1,080...

Disappointing.

After the second episode - you will be hooked. The first episode wasn't quite a grabber but I felt that it had promise - I wasn't disappointed. The acting is excellent and the drama is above average. The story is just complicated enough to keep you from browsing your computer and expecting to come back and know what is going on. I would have rated the first episode a 6 and rarely give an 8 or better rating but when I start binge watching a show - I don't have to wonder if I am hooked or not. I have to disagree with one of the earlier reviews in that I am finding many of the Netflix international shows better than the American ones - I suspect because Netflix has to be careful about nudity for syndication in the US and that isn't a worry for countries that have moved into the 21st century socially.

Tried to watch it, looked good but gave me a headache after a few minutes. I understand the unstable camera method is something new to 'create a realistic effect' but this is over the top

1960s Barcelona nightlife, drug trafficing, intoxicating chemistry between actors...what is not to like? Hopefully we get another season soon.

Very disappointing. Wasn't able to watch even the first chapter completely. It's sad to see that nowadays se hace to ser something like this. Not nice at all, maybe just the music is a little bit entertaining in some scenes.

Amazing show. The plot is enthralling. Easy to understand. It's different fans unique. The main characters are lowkey toxic

The used camera feels like a cheap budget series, I understand that the director intended to add the oldies effect but it was too much of it, the pics were not clear fuzzuy hazy it's not clear and sometimes annoying.... but in general it's a great series and can't wait to see the 2nd season.

Please take care of this matter next time it feels like a series was shoot in the 1990's and am not talking about the plot.

So cute, I wish there was a season 3 I keep watching for Hachi, it's really cool.💕💕💕

I want to watch this series Please dub this series in English Spanish series are awesome

I humble request to netflix please available this Series in English also.

I love Adriana Ugarte. She is phenomenal. Story isn't like money heist but I am a fan nevertheless. The idea of a woman, surviving in a mans world is appealing.

This show really holds your interest and it is one now easy to predict what direction it will take. Well written, well acted, and absolutely holds you interest. One note, there is probably more gratuitous sex and nudity than you may expect. But since the show is written by a woman it makes sense especially since the hero is a woman who basically uses her good looks and sex to her advantage. This is basically a "rags to riches" story, or what one might call a "Gangster Cinderella." The story also includes some famous gangsters of the time period, about 1958-1960. If you are looking for a good show to watch this is it. Well worth your time and not a story you will easily predict.
