Sé quién eres (2017)
Enjoyable but with many faults
It is quite rare for the BBC to broadcast Spanish drama. I don't know the overall quality of TV shows in Spain, but I must say that although I like this one, it has many flaws. One of the most obvious is that someone is charged for a murder, when there isn't even a body. This is highly unlikely and yet this aspect gets almost no attention.
And what's with the whole rigmarole that Elias after the accident wants to be different from the man he used to be? This seems an important point, but is then discarded at the end. Am I missing something here?
While this show's flaws have mainly to do with the script, its strong point is its acting, which is credible throughout.
Sense8 (2015)
amusing, but with too many traces of the drawing table
Sense8 is interesting, especially in terms of character and scope, but it has many flaws. To say that it has "all the hallmarks of a thinking person's show" as Roger Ramsey does, is nonsensical. A lot is just mystical bolder-dash, albeit amusing. One of its weaknesses is that traces of the drawing table are still noticeable. Once you discover that all the supernatural phenomena take place in capitals (of countries and states), you'll find all kinds of other preposterous but hilarious details. I won't spoil it for anyone and leave this as an exercise to the reader.
This series is only worth your wile if you can manage to suspend critical thinking for an hour or so.
