Respira

Wow this blew me away.

I'm an NHS nurse of 27 years and really thought that the miserable UK was the only healthcare system that was not fit for purpose. I've always looked to the Spanish healthcare system as a model of excellence.

I'm sure that much of it was for dramatic licence but the chaos, total lack of staffing and below zero moral is not a drama on TV for me, it's real, each and every day.

The acting in this is absolutely top notch. Not a bad link anywhere and it's very well written. Multiple stories within.

I love the international dramas and am so grateful for the English dub as I hate subtitles. They are so much better than the utter trash that the UK spews out nowadays.

I was gripped to start to finish.

Excelente trabajo todo.

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!

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.

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.

"Respira" falls disappointingly flat, borrowing heavily from the ambiance of "Elite" but failing to capture the intrigue and sophistication that made the latter a hit. The show's atmosphere, while attempting to evoke a sense of rebellious glamor, feels like a pale imitation of its predecessor. The storyline, which one might hope would provide some unique twist or engaging drama, instead trudges through a series of predictably dull and uninspired plot points. Characters lack depth and fail to evoke any real empathy or connection, making it hard to invest emotionally in their journeys. The pacing is painfully slow, with many scenes dragging on without adding meaningful content or advancing the plot. Moreover, the filming techniques seem amateurish at best, with awkward camera angles and poorly executed transitions that disrupt the flow and further detract from the viewing experience. Overall, "Respira" is a tedious watch that leaves much to be desired in terms of originality and entertainment value. It stands as a weak attempt to replicate the success of "Elite," but ends up being a chore to get through. Skip this one if you're looking for something engaging and well-crafted.
