This series sells itself as an adaptation/continuation of the book "La Piel del Tambor" from Arturo Perez Reverte. This is uncertain at all. Quart appears more like a secret agent that a ecclesiastic. The scenes of sex are unnecessary and the "Special Effects" are ridiculous. The script is full of used ideas and uses that typical elcesiastic conspiring ideas of many movies. The platonic love of the book is exaggerated. About the FX, Make a look to the fire of 1x4 (Profecías). I wish this series is closed forever. The Reberte Books are often bad adapted, but this case is unique. In Spain, there are better series like "El Comisario", "Ris Científica", and others.
