Criminal: España

The characters of the series' investigators are liars, manipulators and even forge evidence to intimidate the investigated. They do everything to get results. Although it is fiction, exaggerations are offensive to viewers with common sense.

If you liked criminal UK, you'll probably be hugely disappointed by Criminal Spain. I'm unsure how accurately this show represents Spain's legal system but if it's accurate, the cops spend half their time trying to kick out the defendant's lawyer and the rest of the time asking about their vacations or backing up their nonsensical theories with their "gut" Perhaps it's something lost in the awful translations but this show is definitely NOT up to par with its UK counterpart...

Since the Criminal series features four countries, comparisons are inevitable and the Spanish version really fares badly against the British, Germand and French versions. The police seem to be a very unpopular lot in Spain, judging by how this series has been written. I got the same feeling watching Money Heist, where the police were depicted more as villains than heroes. In all three episodes of Criminal: Spain, the police officers behave very badly, resorting to some very unethical practices in order to get their way. This creates an uncomfortable situation for the viewer. Who, after all, is the criminal here?

Carmen Mache was FABULOUS in this & makes the entire program worth watching alone. She should win an award for her performance!!!🏆

I'm really into this series. I watched all of them in one day. I am changing my middle name to dl Los Angeles. That is so cool, especially when someone has to say her full name. I certainly wouldn't want to be interrogated by one of those detectives if I had killed someone or done something equally nefarious.
