I have to thank Netflix for bringing such enjoyable content from this beautiful country. After my first foray into Spanish Series/Movies with Grand Hotel I have watched a lot of Spanish movies and shows and I must say they excel in bringing periods alive in their shows. Grand Hotel did it beautifully and this drama is a close second. The foremost thing these period drama's have managed is to bring a lot of emotions together with culture and a solid story.
As it is a fictional drama of course it is not complete factual retelling of actual history, but it's also not fluff. They cater to an intelligent, I would say mostly female audience, but an audience who like a dose of romance, suspense and also intelligent story telling and compelling dialogues. This exact mix has in my opinion been missing from most US content therefore filling the gap nicely. Highly recommend this drama.
