Criminal: Espanha

I'm really into this series. I watched all of them in one day. I am changing my middle name to dl Los Angeles. That is so cool, especially when someone has to say her full name. I certainly wouldn't want to be interrogated by one of those detectives if I had killed someone or done something equally nefarious.

Since the Criminal series features four countries, comparisons are inevitable and the Spanish version really fares badly against the British, Germand and French versions. The police seem to be a very unpopular lot in Spain, judging by how this series has been written. I got the same feeling watching Money Heist, where the police were depicted more as villains than heroes. In all three episodes of Criminal: Spain, the police officers behave very badly, resorting to some very unethical practices in order to get their way. This creates an uncomfortable situation for the viewer. Who, after all, is the criminal here?

Just like the French, German and English versions this series is unbelievably good and it's just a shame that the episodes are so short and few. Hopefully they'll develop the concept into a longer series as we're only just getting to know the characters by the end of episode 3.

Great casting and storyline and eminently suitable for adaptation to the stage.

Love all the plot twists that remain pretty unexpected. Cervantes would make a fantastic prince harry in the future.

The characters of the series' investigators are liars, manipulators and even forge evidence to intimidate the investigated. They do everything to get results. Although it is fiction, exaggerations are offensive to viewers with common sense.
