Mystery is not a lot. Spain is an endless palette of bright colors reflected in the piercing blue sea, playing with solar glare among the bizarre creations of Antonio Gaudí.
Spanish cinema, in turn, resembles an expressive southern temperament that incites dangerous, shocking passions, very natural and colorful, without celluloid characters and faces.
"Under Suspicion" ("Bajo sospecha) is an intriguing Spanish detective series that tells us how, on the day of her first communion, seven-year-old girl Alicia Vega disappears without a trace. Despite the sincere desire to find the missing child, friends of the Vega family are in no hurry to share their secrets with the local police, meanwhile the number of skeletons in the closets of civilians is simply skyrocketing, and lost time plays into the hands of criminals. However, the police have a trump card up their sleeve, an experienced Commissioner Cassas came up with a hellishly cunning move, two agents Victor and Laura under the guise of a married couple come to our pastoral town to get into the trust of the Vega family and their entourage.
A good cast (charismatic macho Jon Gonzalez, in the role of Victor, an ambitious young policeman, ready to do anything, for the sake of solving a crime, the brilliant Lewis Omar, familiar to us from the film of the genius Pedro Almodovar “Open Embraces” in the role of a professional in his field, Commissioner Cassas), a measured, but no less fascinating story, a share of humor (for which Vicente Romero answers in the role of the short-sighted, cunning town cop Rafael Vidal), and an unpredictable plot. This series will definitely appeal to lovers of family secrets and Spanish cinema, I recommend.
