You Would Do It Too

This is the great example of a show were you have to stick with it to get the best from it.

To begin with the set up is clear but some of the dialogue and situations are quite formulaic until about half way through. By then a series of twists are introduced and the pace picks up considerably. Given that the whole premise is that several people are lying it does not take any leap to get to the end and say 'well I knew they were lying from the start' That is the whole point of the series. I would wager though that anybody who saw the end coming in the way that it does is almost certainly kidding themselves.

With only eight short episodes it is well worth a watch.

A robbery takes place on an airport coach and goes wrong. Or did it? That's the dilemma soon-to be-ex husband and wife detectives Fran Garza and Rebecca Quirós have to solve. Fortunately, this is a puzzle that the viewer has to decipher without the extra baggage of irrelevant background stories of the protagonists. We just get some back story as facts and aren't swamped in it. The meat is in the solving of the crime.

Slowly, in twenty-five minute episodes, the two cops get to the bottom of things. On the way there, three different explanations for the botched crime emerge.

This is in no way a profound series, but it does discuss on a superficial level the ethics of vigilantism. And it shines a spotlight on Spain's "popular jury" system in a critical way.

I watched this over two evenings and would love to see a similarly fast-paced Season Two emerge. Perhaps next year.

I just watched the first two episodes, and the story looks good and feels realistic. The witness characters are all interesting, and it was thrilling to watch. I even re-watched some scenes from the first episode to guess what might have happened. I'm glad the episodes are under 30 minutes, as most shows nowadays are over 40. Since all scenes so far are set at night, the show has a darker vibe. The detectives' love story is okay for now; I hope it leads to something in the coming episodes.

I'm excited to watch the remaining episodes and hope there's enough content for all eight. I'll update my review once I finish the series.

For now, I'd rate it 3.5/5. It all depends on how they end it and whether it feels logical and satisfying.

Absolutely the best series I have watched on Apple+ whilst waiting on Season 5 of the magnificent SLOW HORSES . Spanish language with English Subs but I think you have other options available . Personally I cannot stand the dubbing on these non English offerings , many of which are much more inventive , original and interesting than the tedium of the derivative rehashing of the same tired storyline in our British and USA shows . I am deliberately avoiding giving away too much of this crime show as I would prefer you watch it yourselves and enjoy it as much as I did . The one clue I WILL give , is that I hope that I never get arrested in Spain . PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let there be a second season as great as the first and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE watch the original before the UK or USA plagarise it with an inferior English spoken version like The Bridge and so many other foreign gems .

This series explores perspectives in a very smart way.

The series starts by what looks like a simple heist case. However, the series is way deeper than that, and it shows that detectives should be visionories, as this series explores various perspectives for that simple case.

The characters are very impressive, and this is important in a mystery series because this is the main driver of a mystery show. Secondly, the climax was at point, reached in a sufficient number of episodes and was very clear and made sense.

The series is very realistic and recommend for those who like crime-mystery shows.
