    Weak and predictable plot

    The production follows stereotypes that have been used in almost all Spanish productions, whether films or series, for a long time and in only one direction.

    The situations presented in the series are predictable and easy to solve, without deviations and, in some cases, impossible to achieve.

    The actors do their job well, giving life to those stereotypes that I mentioned earlier, giving life to and trying to justify the different situations.

    It is not a recommendable series due to its final quality as a whole and it is better to choose others to fill our free time and there are still many good ones to enjoy.

    Top class acting and story telling.

    Wow this blew me away.

    I'm an NHS nurse of 27 years and really thought that the miserable UK was the only healthcare system that was not fit for purpose. I've always looked to the Spanish healthcare system as a model of excellence.

    I'm sure that much of it was for dramatic licence but the chaos, total lack of staffing and below zero moral is not a drama on TV for me, it's real, each and every day.

    The acting in this is absolutely top notch. Not a bad link anywhere and it's very well written. Multiple stories within.

    I love the international dramas and am so grateful for the English dub as I hate subtitles. They are so much better than the utter trash that the UK spews out nowadays.

    I was gripped to start to finish.

    Excelente trabajo todo.

    Pathetic and non-sense serie

    The series is a mess. If it was meant to be a critique of the privatization of public hospitals in Spain, it certainly did a disservice to public healthcare. Characters without discernment, completely lacking values in fulfilling their duties. Ridiculous and forced situations. Did they really want to defend public healthcare with these storylines? I imagine that progressive Spanish unionists who are staunch defenders of public healthcare must be very disappointed and angry with this series. If their initiatives are ridiculous, this series makes them look even worse. Not everything goes when it comes to seeking attention or protesting.

    Grace, is it you?

    If you watched Grey's Anatomy, then you will know what is it about. More or less all these shows are the same with more or less drama and since this is the Spanish serious that means drama drama drama drama. I must say that I really enjoying the acting of almost all characters and sometimes I need to tell myself wait this is not real.

    At the end, this is the show that you know how it will go all the way With all social problems and all equalities included at the moment a bit forced.. So it's not bad it's not amazing.

    You should check it out by yourself and decide if it's worth of watching or not.

    PESIMA

    Netflix's Respira is a blatant rip-off of the worst parts of House. The series suffers from a poorly written script, uneven pacing, and a lack of originality. The attempt to normalize transgender representation is commendable, but it feels shoehorned into the narrative and doesn't add anything meaningful to the story. The medical cases are often unbelievable and the characters are underdeveloped. If you're looking for a well-crafted medical drama, I would recommend looking elsewhere.

    Netflix's Respira is a disappointing and derivative series that blatantly copies the worst aspects of House. The script is poorly written and the pacing is uneven. While I appreciate the attempt to normalize transgender representation, it feels forced and out of place in the narrative. Overall, Respira is a missed opportunity that fails to deliver on its premise.
