Jaguar

I have a mix feeling about it. A lot of scenes seemed too amateur... like they survived hitting the ship! But the story is OK, entertains Could have been better made. One thing I didn't know is those nazis lived with no problem in Spain, as if nothing has happened! That is so strange!!!World War II, holocaust stories have been told many times and so many movies/series have been made about it. I wish there were other Hollywood made movies/series from other sides of the WWar II like the Asian side of the story or crimes of Stalin or other dictators during those times. Even the American wrong doings such as atomic bomb....- WW2 by far has been told and thought more than World War I....

This actually started out very good. And that is the only reason I did not rate this lower. The first episode draws you in. But as the show progresses it becomes very silly and almost somewhat cartoonish. Almost as if they changed writers. Just very odd. And they have one scene where there are dozens and dozens of bullets flying, an explosion when boats collide, but no one gets killed. Are you kidding?! Now, add to that the the horrible music used in the background scenes and that makes it even worse. Now, I am not talking about the songs of that time period, but some the background music used in scenes throughout the movie. It will drive you crazy. You may be best to stop at Episode 2, then jump directly to episode 6. Probably the best way to watch this DUD! If they have a sequel, good luck! Not worth your time.

Jaguar: Spain, 1962, a lone wolf holocaust survivor intent on killing the ex-SS officer who murdered her father is persuaded to play the longer game by a team of nazi hunters. Their target is a more senior nazi, Dr Aribert Heimt a real life character who was known as the Butcher of Mauthausen. This is a fictional series but it is inspired by the reality hat 40,000 nazis settled in Spain after WW2, protected by the Francoist regime, most of hem didn't even change their surnames. There are flashbacks to what happened in the camps during the war, how the team got together. Very much an action series but one tempered by the reality the necessity of surveillance and security. Also the team each have their personal demons that they have to deal with. Not just survivors guilt but also some had to do in order to live through the Holocaust. Some great shootouts and hand to hand fighting, even dark humour. Created by Ramón Campos and Gema R. Neira. On netflix 8/10.

They turned what could have been a powerful story of serving justice into a ridiculous, unserious and amateur series of car chases, shootouts and absurd situations. A terrible waste and injustice to the subject matter.

This is a really good show on the nazi-hunters of the time.

Yes, it might contain unrealistic scenes, but which action series doesn't? Yes, Blanca Suarez might have limited facial expression in this show, but it is really explained in the show why this is a realistic interpretation rather than "bad acting".

So, the show is a nazi-hunting group in Spain in the 60s, only a rough dozen years after the end of the war. In a country with fascist leanings (not being the democracy it is today). The group hunts for the butcher at Mauthausen to put him on trial at an international tribunal.

It is a gripping tale that depicts, in scenes of the past, some of the atrocities performed at the nazi death camps. It is a decent thriller.

It's well worth your time getting involved in.
