García!

Best comic book adaption in a long time.

Americans with no sense of sarcasm or other cutler than American, do not need to bother, but for the rest of us, this is a gem, absolute gem! Garcia is just amazing in his stuffy self awareness and the story is funny, with a touch like Batman feeling as it was in the early days. Someone is. Referring to historical accuracy? You are totally missing the point of the whole series! It is definitely not another boring Disney/Marvel adaption, and that is the best thing - nobody cares about Marvels anymore - it is fresh, has some great characters and truly enjoyable.

Nothing about this says its based or related to any historical event or time, so I take it as just a story that takes place in another time and place. I would compare it to any of the shows in the Arrowverse, Flash if I had to pick one. The plot is from something in the 1950's, with mad German scientist working on immortality.

The acting is fitting, its actually pretty good in that you stay focused on the story. Overall I liked the way they shot the scenes and the lighting used to give a scene of large spacing when needed and small and confined when fitting.

I went in expecting casual entertainment and that's just what it was. 1 season with 6 episodes is just right, the pace moved along and didn't waste time dragging on just to fill in time. I'll probably watch it again after 3-4 years, but not before that.

I decided to give this a go after having read what it was about. I really was not expecting much from it, but it turned out to be a lot more interesting than I had expected.

Genetically altered Super Spy cryogenically frozen by a former Nazi scientist (who speaks Spanish with a bad German accent) and awakened in modern day. It hits almost every trope you could think of from that set up and it's still fun to watch.

It's listed as a drama but it's only slightly more a drama than Warehouse 13 or Buffy, leaning more to a Action/Scifi/Comedy though it can be very dry on the humour.

I'm hoping it gets a Season 2, They set it up nicely for it... I need to know more about the 3rd pod.

Wow, watched 30 minutes and it was brutally bad. Horrible acting, horrible dialog, along with a ridiculous plot.

It has to have been made to fill hole in hbo's schedule. Rarely have I seen something this bad. Rarely have I seen acting this bad.

The acting is cartoonish. A girl with a backpack outruns soldiers chasing her? It's just difficult to find the words to describe how awful this is. I saw the lead review "I'm really enjoying this!!!" and thought even with a 6 rating it might be entertaining but NO.

I'm writing this review in the hopes someone will see it and not be mislead by other reviews.

Watch something, anything else.

Disclaimer: I don't know much about Spain or its political history, so if you're looking for something authentic or accurate, I won't be able to comment. I'm just rolling with the plot as it comes and I'm really enjoying the series!!! This is my favorite genre to watch and I admit some bits are a tad predictable but I find the series fun and entertaining. Some comedy, some action, some seriousness, some backstabbing. Garcia is extremely likeable character thus far and I'm here for Antonia's rapid rants. I find myself eagerly waiting for the next episodes to see where the plot goes and dearly hope the show continues for more seasons.
