Lot of exciting thrills every episode
Character of Nemo really did a great job ill or not. Ferro as loyal as ever. These 2 characters really raise the bars. All characters really played great.

Kind of soapy but watchable
It's a good show if you're willing to put up with a soap like story. The story is unsubstantiated and not supported well. However, It does have a degree of suspense created by murder, cops and drug trafficking. The one annoying thing is the gay acting. The character Carlos needs toning down. It's looks fake. Enough with the the raising of the hand.
Compelling binge watching series
Nemo is the "Lord" of the Galitian town of Oeste, he has built the biggest narco business under a facade, he is the larger employer, he is the patriarch of a devious family, he is cunning, smart, ruthless and willing to rough people up, make threats, harass and do anything possible to have his way no matter if the problem is a rival thug or a public officer, but he was diagnosed with Alzheimer and his business is on its way to bankruptcy... And now the story unfolds with great character developments, an array of many violent twists and turns as well as sudden and unexpected surprises to compel the viewer to follow the series. Chapters are long, 70 minutes each, the ending looms with an opening set of incidents to go into a second season.
Excellent
Nemo and Ferro, fantastic combination, they make this show

The main actress and some secondary characters ruined it for me
The main storyline and the main character ,Nemo are enough to keep you watching but there are some situations , mostly driven by poorly acted and written characters, that could make you lose interest in the series. If you can ignore them, you'll be rewarded with a gripping story of loyalty, fragility and some decent action/thrill. I still dont understand the casting choice for the main actress, Lara. Everytime she comes on screen , it runs the whole series. Not sure how to explain it but she is annoying to watch. Maybe is her acting, her script, her inconsistent character development. All of the above? It is just painful. I was hoping they would replace her for season 2 but she came back worse. The colombian hit man is horrible. The show has many annoying characters /actors , the casting director did a horrible job at it.
One of my favourite shows.
The second season is sky high!
Luis Zahera- Ferro is stunning.

Same but different
I love the cast, the characters drawn, the plot, the scenario. Even though there are numerous plot holes, you still enjoy the show and it keeps you at the edge of your seat at many times. I could barely wait till the next episode at the end of every one.

Nemo,nemo
It started very promising, Jose Coronado is just great. I had a feeling that tv show is going to be modern tv novela without unneeded forbidden romances, unwanted children and overwhelming pathetique and other cliches usual for spanish tv shows. But unfortunately that changed about in the middle of 1st season, focus goes away from nemo on other characters and their stories. Finished firts season and left it on the beginning of second. Great costumes, photography and other technical stuff....

10/10 just for Nemo Bandeira
Season 1 was fantastic. Character of Nemo Bandeira was so powerful and the only reason I kept watching the drama till the end of season 2. Ferro had great sense of humor
Serviceable crime drama with emphasis on melodrama
Despite its many flaws, this is an enjoyable series. The fine acting of Jose Coronado and Pilar Castro keep things cooking with an underlying intensity that a lesser actor - say Àlex Monner with his hand-on-the-hip ridiculous portrayal of the gay son - could not pull off. The camera work and scenery are top notch, making Galicia the real star of the show. Sure, it all tends to get bogged down by over-seriousness and the soap opera tendencies frustrate, but all in all, an involving series that is perfect for binge watching - if you can last through the too-frequent hand wringing personal dramas that at times threaten to bring the whole thing down. (Docked two points for the last episode which resolves nothing but sets the stage for another season. You feel like you've been cheated; the show's makers should be ashamed.)
Alex Monner's Performance As Carlos Ruined This Show For Me

When S2 is even better than S1!
I have just finished this series and feel very sad it is over. Great characters that you really invest in, with a towering male lead performance as Nemo, supported by his loyal right hand man, Ferro.
The introduction of the Mexicans really ramped up the action and I can highly recommend this to all lovers of good Spanish crime and family drama.

Traisac ruins it all...
Claudia Traisac's acting is pretty annoying and basic. Overdoing it when there's no need but falling flat when she needs to kick it up a notch. She needs an acting coach on set ASAP. The rest of the cast is incredible and the plot is amazing.
Teleseries with a usual storyline.
Series is not so boring, however it gets slow in some moments with the characters.
Series is made of Family, Drama, Revenge you get everything in the show.
Best characters whom you will like, and watch this entire series are Nemo - Jose Coronado and Ferro - Luis Zahera. These two will be keep you up with the series.

One of the best Spanish series.
An interesting set up of King Lear by William Shakespeare adapted to the live of a Galician Kingpin.

it's definetly not a 10
Extremely entertaining
From the acting to the amazing storyline I have found nothing but excellence. I highly suggest you give this one a try. As for me bring on the second season quickly.
Light fun, but over-the-top performance by Àlex Monner
This is a decent show. Nothing groundbreaking, but the characters and performances are good enough to keep me going from episode to episode. With one glaring exception: Àlex Monner's portrayal of Carlos takes the limp-wristed stereotype and attacks it as if it's beef jerky and he's a starving dog. I'm a member of the LGBT crowd and in my entire life I've neither known personally nor seen a gay man act like Carlos. Never. It's ridiculous, and enough for me to drop my 8 to a 7. If he isn't toned down in the second season, I won't be able to watch. Who signed off on his character? Netflix should be embarrassed. Someone here referred to Carlos as a spasmodic Quasimodo, I believe, and that's spot-on.

Jose Coronado saved the whole show
This series is watchable, but the disgusting script ruined the impression. Also the complete failure is main female character. Seven points thanks to the amazing performance of José Coronado and Luis Zahera. Xabier Deive as Adolfo Monterroso is also very good. Handsome Álex González demonstrate his perfect body and it brought some visual aesthetics to the film. Unax Ugalde usually knows what is good acting, but in this case he had nothing to act. Claudia Traisac as Lara is poor. She is pretty girl but it wasn"t enough. Nevertheless, I suspect that she failed to give some realistic behavior to her character because it was poorly developed by the writers. If experienced Coronado knows how to fill in the gaps in the script by proper acting, young Claudia Traisac does not yet.

An over the top Telenovela
This is a Telenovela, pure and simple, complete with overacting, continuous drama and its own brand of silliness and improbabilities. The true star of the show is the stunning landscape of Galicia, especially the coastline. The idea is not an original one as something similar was produced for English TV a while back, using the same concept of a crime boss who develops Alzheimers and the fight for his crown. I rated it as a 5/10, because despite its shortcomings, it does tend to keep the viewer engaged, if only to see the next crisis unfolding. There appears to be a second season in the offing, and I think it will have appeal to a select target audience. It will not however, have wider global appeal as the story line is not that outstanding. Watchable but don't take it too seriously!
Season 2: Unfortunately, this is even more ridiculous than season 1!
If I forget my children's name ...
THE ACTING
For the most part all of tge actors and actresses are doing a great job .Especially tge women. The men are decent but Carlos is way too over the top for this to be a cartel movie and it's so so irritating the role is fine but his character is too overbearing .
