Alba

A good series about the violent gang rape of a medium class town woman by the sons of the siblings of the richest family. Shows a lot of indirect implications in terms of power, money, corruption, cover up and this makes it worth to watch. Some of the cast participated in other Spanish good series too. It starts a bit slow but then it gets engaging. Settings and imagery are great, a beautiful quaint Spanish seaside town with sandy beaches and pristine waters.

This drama is a bit on the telenovela side and stretches out a bit too long but the basic premise is horrifying, the storyline brings forth the issues with no apologies and no discounts. It's an in-your-face type series which makes it worthwhile.

This could easily be 1 movie instead of 13 episodes show. They added too much drama on top of the leading story.

I also don't understand why Mercedes was obviously the same age as her father in law. That was very distracting. It seemed to me that she was a telenovella actress who by accident appeared in this show.

This was an intense drama about a brutal rape. It shows how it not only affects the victim but also her family, friends and even the community. It was dragged out too long I think. I definitely feel like the story probably could have been condensed into around 6 episodes.

It's too long for its own good, it does have great actors, (Eric Masip, and Jason Fernandez) but they are all underutilized and given subplots of convenience to further an unbelievable and frankly poorly written plot. A story about corruption, unconditional love, greed.

If the series trimmed the fat, got rid of useless characters and focused solely on Alba, the deceit and corruption behind the people who hurt her, the series would have been great. Unfortunately, the runtime is 13 episodes, and each episode drags with unnecessary character development, constant chatter of random crap, and filler... so much filler!!

In my opinion, Jason Fernandez was the only exception, he had a complex development, character arc and climax. The rest of the casting has a mess going on, it all felt very telenovela. I wouldn't recommend watching this unless you are just looking for something to pass the time.
