Respira

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.

"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.

The production follows stereotypes that have been used in almost all Spanish productions, whether films or series, for a long time and in only one direction.

The situations presented in the series are predictable and easy to solve, without deviations and, in some cases, impossible to achieve.

The actors do their job well, giving life to those stereotypes that I mentioned earlier, giving life to and trying to justify the different situations.

It is not a recommendable series due to its final quality as a whole and it is better to choose others to fill our free time and there are still many good ones to enjoy.

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!
