After the first two episodes I almost stopped watching, the acting was so over the top, with everyone screaming and yelling and crying their hearts out, (probably all due to Spanish temperament), that it became pretty tiresome. But gradually I got into the flow of the story, while taking all the theatrical drama for granted. The story got more and more intricate (if not more farfetched) with every episode, and in spite of the overlong duration of 13 one-hour long episodes kept me at least interested and entertained until the end. Which was a tiny bit disappointing: why not an epilogue where we see that justice is finally served? The filming locations by the way (the beachside around Alicante) were wonderful.
As I said, the acting was a bit problematic, with Alba's brother (was he meant to be mentally challenged?) as rock bottom. On the other hand the two major culprits were played excellently by Álvaro Rico and Pol Hermoso, especially Hermoso very convincingly made his character into this hair-raisingly scary, fueled on coke and liquor, ticking time-bomb. I'm a bit at a loss what to think of Elena Rivera as the pivotal Alba. If Alba was indeed meant to be this annoying, self-righteous and vindictive character, then Rivera absolutely did a great job. But to be honest: in spite of her ordeal it was pretty hard to feel any sympathy for this mostly very irritating person.
