An average series with good acting, average artificial drama-mystery flow, very good for practicing Spanish and roller-coaster ratings as far as the episodes are concerned. The parallel flashbacks and present events were also developed and presented in a messy way.
It lacks solid screenplay, twists and turn of events, logic and ending. Give that script to Swedish/Danish Noir masters and they would create a series that would keep you glued to the screen while biting your nails.
Arón Piper as Iago and Bárbara Lennie as Viruca stand out above the rest in this one. Liked their charisma and acting.

Let me tell you, i watched trailers as many of you, and i was intrigued. But as many TV Series, i was thinking i will stop this quicky. You know, i'm not your usual fan of spanish movies/series.
But here, what impress me the most at the first episode, was the strong acting. Everyone feel like in real life, not overacting and that said a lot to me. As I wanted to see the rest of the series. The theme was good also but it was not what I like at first. The main title... when nowadays a opening of series is like 5-10 seconds with basically the main title and generic sound. Not here, you have a full song for a least a minute, and it gives you all emotion. It's a thriller series, yet, the main title is happy/sad combination of the two.
Bárbara Lennie and Imma Cuesta steal the show everytime they are on screen, so much, that at few times i was kinda fool as to which story i was following. It's brillant.

I loved the first episode. Interesting story, suspense and a bit of erotic, good actresses- I thought this might an amazing, atmospheric series.
But the longer the action was going on, the more the story gaps, but especially the unreasonable behaviour of the characters and the non-logical dialogues with people saying nothing without reason were annoying me.
A 10 for the idea and the start. A 2 for the execution of the later episodes and the finish - a 6 in total

Well......this was an intriguing intense thriller/drama centering on a young teachers obsession with a deceased teacher she replaced. It is full of suspense n tension with many twists n turns.
The acting was really good n the characters were full of charisma.
The ending was totally unexpected n unpredictable with a great twist.
I highly recommend this series especially if you like suspense n high drama.

This is basically a murder mystery, a whodunnit. In stead of a police-officer, here it's a new high school teacher who tries to unravel the strange circumstances of her highly popular predecessor's suicide. In her quest several suspects turn up, from some of the students to even her own husband, and eventually she gets more and more bewildered, doubting her own sanity and ultimately realizing that her own life is at stake. The pace is high and the story is definitely entertaining, keeping you guessing until the very end, when we at last do get a satisfying solution to all the mysteries, albeit a bit farfetched and coming out of the blue.
The acting is fine, especially Arón Piper does a great job as the troubled, ominous student Iago (he's also one of the more outstanding actors in the popular Netflix series "Elite"). Inma Cuesta as main character Raquel is as beautiful as a young Penélope Cruz, but unfortunately she has to act with every new episode more and more hysterical, what eventually got a bit on my nerves. In fact all major characters were constantly shouting and crying and yelling at each other, maybe that has something to do with the Spanish temperament, but as far as I'm concerned it could have used some tuning down. And maybe a bit of humor to counter all the heavy stuff would have been welcome too, now it was all so terribly dead serious.
