Respira

If you watched Grey's Anatomy, then you will know what is it about. More or less all these shows are the same with more or less drama and since this is the Spanish serious that means drama drama drama drama. I must say that I really enjoying the acting of almost all characters and sometimes I need to tell myself wait this is not real.

At the end, this is the show that you know how it will go all the way With all social problems and all equalities included at the moment a bit forced.. So it's not bad it's not amazing.

You should check it out by yourself and decide if it's worth of watching or not.

This is garbage, pure and simple! It's just another rip off of the constant stream of medical hospital dramas. The difference with this one is that it's really done extremely poorly to the point where most of the incidents bear no relation to medical reality. It's as if there were no medical adviser on the set! It would really be a stretch to believe that hospitals in Spain are so poorly run, but then again, maybe that is the case! As with all of the TV series from Spain, the sound is poorly engineered so that the dialog is mostly inaudible. They really need to hire sound engineers or use modern equipment and technology to ensure clarity of the soundtrack!

The series is a mess. If it was meant to be a critique of the privatization of public hospitals in Spain, it certainly did a disservice to public healthcare. Characters without discernment, completely lacking values in fulfilling their duties. Ridiculous and forced situations. Did they really want to defend public healthcare with these storylines? I imagine that progressive Spanish unionists who are staunch defenders of public healthcare must be very disappointed and angry with this series. If their initiatives are ridiculous, this series makes them look even worse. Not everything goes when it comes to seeking attention or protesting.

Netflix's Respira is a blatant rip-off of the worst parts of House. The series suffers from a poorly written script, uneven pacing, and a lack of originality. The attempt to normalize transgender representation is commendable, but it feels shoehorned into the narrative and doesn't add anything meaningful to the story. The medical cases are often unbelievable and the characters are underdeveloped. If you're looking for a well-crafted medical drama, I would recommend looking elsewhere.

Netflix's Respira is a disappointing and derivative series that blatantly copies the worst aspects of House. The script is poorly written and the pacing is uneven. While I appreciate the attempt to normalize transgender representation, it feels forced and out of place in the narrative. Overall, Respira is a missed opportunity that fails to deliver on its premise.

Even though I usually dislike doctor shows and the stereotypical egotistical personalities of doctors usually portrayed in them, I decided to give this one a chance because of two reasons: 1) Najwa Nimri, who is a real chameleon and one hell of an actress. 2)The show, being promoted as a protest against the privatization of the health care system did seem more promising than your average superficial doctor drama.

The only positive point is that the majority of the cast give great performances, with a special mention to Ana Rayo too, who managed to make some scenes watchable, with her raw and sturdy performance, as Leo. But no acting talent can save these ridiculous caricature roles, the biggest caricature of all being that of Segura's , Nimri's character! What a waste of charm and charisma!

The plot is an absolute mess, too , full of cringe worthy dialogues and coincidences, all in an effort to add suspense to an uninspired drama. It is so badly written that it kept me rolling my eyes and I even had to skip more than a few scenes to bear till the last episode, which made me wish I had just stopped watching.

I want my time back. Don't waste yours either, there are much better things to watch than this , even on Netflix. Many more descent spanish series too. If only talented actors stopped wasting their talent on stupid roles! It beats me as to why people with actual careers would choose to be in such a meaningless, shallow and even aesthetically awkward projects like this.

P. S. I still think it would be interesting to have a really inspired effort to shed some light on this aspect of public health, especially in the Mediterranean, hopefully with a real script and real characters next time.
