La victime n°8

First of all, it is worth mentioning that I started watching this show on Netflix for curiosity, such as when something appears to you and the subconscious speaks to you. It turns out that Bilbao, the city where the plot takes place, is quite close to Pamplona, a city where I will live for study reasons in the coming years. Inconsequental data, neither more nor less, but that fact made me take a look to the tv show. Not only because I am going to be a foreigner living in Spain, as the main protagonist, but you can understand many things of the plot in particular.From there on out, I had a pleasant surprise. The series contains all the necessary elements to get attention. Good atmospheric environment, filmed in a beautiful place that is not often observed in Spanish cinema, and that contains intrigue, beautiful music, jihadist cells, discrimination, social conflicts and all those conflicts that emerge from being a "moro" on spanish soil. And it cannot be overlooked, that in addition to the elements mentioned above, the series is strengthened by the history of the Gaizka and Gorka brothers, who directly and indirectly, are the cause of important events in the series. Inaki Ardanaz performance as Gaizka and Cesar Mateo as Jamal seemed to me above average. One of the things I criticize the producers of the series is not having presented the terrorist attack itself. If they had offered us heartbreaking and cruel scenes of what happened, perhaps it gave a greater touch of seriousness and cruelty to the series, a crucial point to take it to another level and understand the complexity of the characters involved. The series fails in some aspects, but it is still a refreshing take to see something diffrent in Netflix, for once.
