You Would Do It Too

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.

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.

A relentless, repetitive, nonstop synth track is your first clue that an unsuccessful cover-up of cliché trivial, crap-writing is happening. I despise a pushy soundtrack, dictating how you are supposed to feel instead of evocative storytelling. Over-scoring is a cop-out.

Passé handheld camera work, fast, flashy editing is your next clue that the writers are floundering in their intent: is the protagonist a superhero, a magical man, a misunderstood hero, a vigilante, a victim?

Who knows? I certainly never will. It wasn't interesting enough to finish.

All that's missing is good content- writing, storyline, continuity, a direction. Put this series on in the background to get your cooking and housework done.

It's a waste of hours I'll never get back.

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 .

Very poor script writing filled with implausible plot moves, absurd police actions, horrible pushy soundtrack and overly dramatic high school acting by some of the actors. It feels incredibly soapy, maybe written by a 14 year old. Even though I had use the English voice over that's not the issue. I've watched plenty of Spanish, German and Argentinian shows that are fine using English Voice-over. I'm writing this as a public service, no one should be made crud like this. How does it even get made? Don't they realise they are wasting our precious time on earth with this codswallop, they should pay a price fro the time lost. I haven't even started on the juvenile feminism throughout. With the police you're quite within your rights to say "no comment". Bizarre to charge people who have just been victims of violent robbery. And very unlikely. The only witnesses. More likely to end up in civil suit against the police by the victims. Dumb soap masquerading as a thriller.
