1992

It was painful to watch, it is a mix of cheesy police thriller cliches (just never thrilling) with this deeply uninteresting lead characters, terrible characterisation of Seville, impossible plot, completely unbelievable but without any spectacularity. All the budget went into cgi fire. Seriously better miss this, by far the worst work of Alex de La Iglesia.

Maybe entertaining for really basic people, but i doubt it too since it is very slow.

The premise was fun, Sevilla's 1992 international expo still resonates in Spain's pop culture. It could have been so fun, but it ends in a lazy effort with cringeworthy overacted performances.

I have been using IMDB for last 8 years and first time I felt necessity to submit a review for a serial.

Beside bad acting and worst script why director showed his/her weather fetish. While it rains on actor behind him it is a sunny day. While wind blows all leaves all trees behind stand still. Unbelievable.

Wish the show at least showed us nice places in Sevilla but no chance. A gym addicted ex cop an adult widow and worse side actors.

If you have low budget you should made it in 3 episodes not 6.

What to watch when you want to watch something but don't know what to watch?

Not to bad, not to good.

A little exaggerated sometimes, with some shades of sci-fi.

Don't play it when your are eager for something that would keep you in front of tv.

I don't agree with people saying it's bad acting. Actors are quite good and they make a realy good work as a team.

The story is good and as I said, if some details hadn't been exaggerated sometimes and it had been made a little more realistic, it would have been a 9/10 movie or maybe more.

The fact that it's in Spanish relaxed me, because I'm a bit bored with English-language movies.

If you have nothing better to watch, grab something to nibble on, a few beers, and hit play.

This is a fine series and presented with great balance and originality. It is wisely kept to six episodes when so many other series are overambitiously stretched to eight. It is well acted and makes good use of the atmosphere and the remaining installations of the Seville World's Fair, something that other film makers might want to think about doing too. The balance and interaction of the characters is unusually supple, low-key and realistic, not something one would normally expect to see in, say, a U. S. film, for instance. Yet, it steers well clear of the soap-operatic, TV-style shallowness and caricature we are often shown on Spanish TV.

We know from Wikipedia that the boat-sinking and onshore fire at the beginning are real events that actually did beset the opening of the Seville 1992 Expo, but nowhere in the film are we given a clue as to whether the rest of the plot is true or not.

We should be told somewhere exactly which elements are ''documentary'' and which are not. Has the intricate plot beneath the surface got any connection with probable leads in the original real-life investigation, just a few of them, or none at all?

For that matter, what exactly DO we know about the real events? How much of this historical fiction is drawn from reality, and how much isn't?

Surely more is known of the actual events after thirty-three years, or is it still shrouded in mystery by the apparently sluggish and politically dominated Spanish police?

How much of this historical fiction is drawn from reality and how much isn't?

No need for a spoiler-alert here until the ORIGINAL mystery is finally solved some time in the future.

Is this part of the disquieting trend--apparently popularized by The Tudors--of using historical elements to ''legitimize'' a wholly invented fiction to stand in for any worthwhile attempt at history?

The 1992 serial didn't live up to expectations and felt below average overall.

The story started off okay but was stretched out across too many episodes. Instead of keeping things exciting, the plot felt slow, and the thrilling climax didn't come until the last episode. By then, it didn't have the impact it should have.

The series dragged on unnecessarily, with some episodes feeling like filler. The story moved very slowly, which made it harder to stay interested.

The acting didn't do justice to the story. The performances were not very strong, and the actors didn't make the characters feel real or exciting. This made it hard to connect with the story.

Overall, the 1992 serial was a letdown. It's a below-average series with slow pacing, weak acting, and a disappointing ending. If you're looking for a thrilling series, this one may not be the best choice.
