One of the better Spanish series that I have seen in a while, but I'm only a couple of episodes into it. International terrorism that is dramatized accurately, something that is sure to upset someone I'm sure. Religious lunatics out to kill kafirs, a story that's been around a long time and isn't going to disappear any time soon. A good look at the Policía Nacional and how they coordinate with other law enforcement and intelligence agencies.
Allah akbar, if I never heard those words again it would be just fine with me. They have become an obscenity thanks to the creeps depicted in this series.
There is way too much emphasis on the personal aspects of the police. The drama takes away from the overall plot which is left waiting around while we delve into family issues. Is it a show about families or about international terrorism? I don't like family dramas so they need to choose one or the other.
The action scenes are a bit weak overall and a lot of possibilities were squandered. The attack in the Puerta del Sol was over practically before it began. They could have turned this into an exciting scene instead of just showing blood on the windshield. They also don't really do well in the "tough cop" department. When Marcos is interrogating a prisoner all he can muster is a little slap to his head. I've had worse in public school.
I could have done with fewer changes of cities, all captured with drone shots in an attempt to make the series look more international and big budget. It just made me dizzy at times.
There wasn't a single, well-choreographed action scene in the entire six-episode series, not one. In fact, they were all terrible. The finale was laughably stupid on many levels.
