1992

1992 is a solid mini-series by Álex de la Iglesia, blending suspense and personal drama with his distinctive storytelling flair. Set in the mysterious and evocative backdrop of Seville during Expo '92, the show follows Amparo's relentless quest for answers after her husband's untimely death.

While not groundbreaking, the series keeps viewers engaged with its intriguing plot and complex characters. Fernando Valdivielso and Marian Álvarez deliver compelling performances, particularly in portraying the raw, flawed humanity of their roles. The pacing can feel uneven at times, but the unique narrative style of de la Iglesia compensates for these minor shortcomings.

Best suited for those who enjoy slow-burn mysteries with a dash of dark humor, 1992 is an enjoyable watch that highlights de la Iglesia's ability to blend the ordinary with the extraordinary.

Rating: 7/10 - A decent, stylistically rich series worth a try.

A raging alcoholic ex-cop and a strident widow team up to get to the bottom of a murderous mystery that somehow involves the 1992 Seville Expo and its official mascot, Curro. The show isn't without its flaws but it's enjoyable thanks to its combination of darkness and quirky humor, its unconventional structure and some decent performances. The series is strangely effective - and affecting - in its portrayal of addiction. It's less successful in its attempts to say something profound about government corruption and official abuses of power, which come off as hammy and overdone. Overall it's an imperfect but engaging series.

What to watch when you want to watch something but don't know what to watch?

Not to bad, not to good.

A little exaggerated sometimes, with some shades of sci-fi.

Don't play it when your are eager for something that would keep you in front of tv.

I don't agree with people saying it's bad acting. Actors are quite good and they make a realy good work as a team.

The story is good and as I said, if some details hadn't been exaggerated sometimes and it had been made a little more realistic, it would have been a 9/10 movie or maybe more.

The fact that it's in Spanish relaxed me, because I'm a bit bored with English-language movies.

If you have nothing better to watch, grab something to nibble on, a few beers, and hit play.

I have been using IMDB for last 8 years and first time I felt necessity to submit a review for a serial.

Beside bad acting and worst script why director showed his/her weather fetish. While it rains on actor behind him it is a sunny day. While wind blows all leaves all trees behind stand still. Unbelievable.

Wish the show at least showed us nice places in Sevilla but no chance. A gym addicted ex cop an adult widow and worse side actors.

If you have low budget you should made it in 3 episodes not 6.

I am Spaniard so I have watched this without subtitles, what is a plus to watch this abomination lol. If you have watched several good Spanish Shows this one is not for you.

First, the script is a joke. It is a mixture of Nightmare on Elm Street with Alice in Wonderland and The Exterminator. I mean, what can go wrong?... Everything.

It starts interesting but soon sinks by itself. On the other hand, it is amazing how the more bad gets the show, the louder you laugh about any situation on it.

Second, the Fx's are mostly bad. Cheap, forgettable and obviously laughable.

Anyway, I don't want to spoil anything if you choose to watch this one. If not, you can watch for example "Antidisturbios" or "El cuerpo en llamas".
