About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a dark Barcelona-set crime mystery that mixes serial-case tension with character psychology, similar to The Snow Girl or The Minions of Midas; Not for you if mixed-language dialogue, heavy violence, or familiar noir clichés bother you.
Pros: tense psychological mystery; strong lead chemistry; Barcelona landmarks shine | Cons: familiar crime-drama tropes; uneven pacing, flashbacks; violence can feel graphic
