Coup pour coup

The idea is pretty cool but the message is delivered only half way even the pretty good actors. Script is extremely predictable and action or tension is minimum. So, overall a wasted opportunity.

Boring? No. At least first 3 episodes kept me engaged. After that things got a bit too confusing and too complex. Marta Belmonte character was irritating me big deal, the money hungry ex-wife cliché was 'tiring". Did Marta Milans augmented her face? She is only 38, but looks older and surgically "enhanced". Can't accept actors with "fake" faces. Episodes 3-5- too much philosophy that feels rehearsed, robotic. I'll finish watching. But intriguing beginning is not living up to my expectations so far.

The acting was good, the idea was good... The plot was not. Nothing much happens, we do not learn any new information in like 4 episodes, the ending is bad. A waste of time.

As the new proprietor of a newspaper becomes embroiled in MoM's extortion of his millions, he tries to take the high road, however the powers that be don't share his view. His noncompliance with his blackmailers has fatal results. This is set to a backdrop of Spain in a state of internal revolt, similar to 2011 or 2018, when citizens took to the streets for peaceful marches protesting against anti-austerity measures, politicians and bankers. Excessive force was observed, and the protests escalated and became out of control resulting in the armed forces being called in to quash the violence and arson. One of his newspaper's journalists responds in a TV broadcast: " . . . leaders condone their actions as being for the greater good . . .". One death in this state of chaos to prevent the deaths of many etc. It is with this moral and ethical dilemma we are left to contemplate. What would you have done?

I really enjoyed every minute of it - it is intelligent and very relevant In 2020 as In 1901 where the book is written.
