Imagine a TV Series, filmed in 2019, that depicts a handful of Spanish Police officers tracking drug traffickers in southern Spain, circa 1975... Torremolinos, to be precise.
One series, 13 one-hour episodes. It must have taken a massive effort to get all the (even) smallest details correct.
The disco dancers were in outfits from back then, the mens clothing had the big ol' wide collars and the cars... were accurate, even down to their 'MA' (Malaga) license plates.
Standout (to me) was the gorgeous 'Sara Salamo' (La Buhita - The Owl), who has to be one of the most beautiful Women in Spain - and she can act too.
Of course there is much mayhem, dealers in "hashish" and a lot of fights, shootings and smoking. The ending is sufficiently on tenterhooks to imagine a Series Two - let's see.
The event has been dubbed in English, so no need for subs, and I rate it 9/10.

Honestly I was a bit dissapointed after the first episode. I thought to pretenciuos maybe. But I kept watching , because it reflects so well (almost perfect) the spnish cost live in the late 70's. Chapter after chapter the script was getting better, acting was spotless and the whole serie very catching. Absolutely well done, and great job of the Art Direction !!! A must see....
Such sweet melancholy! Regards to the director and the actors, ohhh the actors....
I guarantee that you will fell in love with each one of them at the time! A great work, tonic, full of colour, drama, comedy, has all the ingredience! best tv show of 2019 for me.
This show is fantastic, set in 1970s Spain as it adjusts to post Franco dictatorship. The drugs trade is booming in Torremolinos and four police officers are thrown together and become the areas first drugs squad. The characters are excellent, the script and plot is great, the attention to the 70s setting is faultless, and after a slow start, it just gets better and better. It is such a shame that Netflix cancelled the second series, as there are so many loose ends to tie up at the end of season one. Watch in Spanish with English subs for the best vibe.
Season 1: great - that's cult! The choice of actors matches the slanting roles they play. The stupid shooting around for every 20 grams of hash doesn't diminish the fun of the whole story. The retro intro to each episode alone has earned 9 stars.
