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.

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.

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.

Each episode in the series "You Would Do It, Too" acts like another layer in a story; adding more perspective to what actually occurred. That keeps this series interesting and, in some ways, more real and engaging. The actors all strong in their roles. What I especially liked about the series was the rendering of the dialogue in English. Dubbing is often wooden. These voice actors were very into their roles; they didn't sound like they were just reading a script, something that disappointed me about the recent Apple TV series "Where's Wanda." I've seen all episodes but the last one; can't wait to see how it turns out.

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.
