High-profile architect Alexandra faces her worst nightmare when she gets a call from local cop Conrado to identify her husband Oscar's ( El Profesor from La Casa de Papel) body, found on a pier in the beautiful Albufera landscape outside Valencia. Suicide? How can it be when they had made plans for their future just hours ago? But it only gets worse: Oscar had been leading a double-life with another woman, Veronica. Who is this woman? Who was the man she loved for 15 years? And what happened that fatal night on the pier? Taking on a false identity, Alex moves in with Veronica and, with Conrado's help, delves into the secrets Oscar kept, soon leading her to question who, in the enchanting remoteness of the Albufera, is friend, who is foe. Though Alex would love to hate Veronica, Alex discovers an alluring woman who leads a life so enticingly different from her own
It's like a mix of a good Spanish melodrama and a detective story (sort of). It reminded me of Lucia y el Sexo atmosphere-wise.
I enjoyed it. I especially liked the character of Irene Arcos (Veronica). Oh, and there is a kid who is not annoying and actually adorable (Watch and learn, Americans!). I appreciated how the writers developed the relationship between the two women
Sometimes it did get too melodramatic (the wife in the first several episodes), but it never felt over the top.
Overall I think the first season was lovely.
The second season got released a few days ago. I haven't watched it yet
