Parot

This series is quite remarkable in many regards, from acting to script, locations and depiction of the fictional consequences of a recent judiciary drama in Spain (the reversal of the Parot doctrine by the Strasbourg international Court). Only caveat: this real-life fact underlying the fiction should be much more clearly explained from episode 1 both for international audiences and for the younger generations in Spain. Adriana Ugarte and Blanca Portillo are magnificent and convincing, as is Javier Albalá. The criticism of the gutter press in Spain is very justified, and the character of the gossip journalist bears a strong resemblance to some very public characters.
