Bank Under Siege

Based on a true story, this show tells the events happened during the infamous assault to the central bank at Barcelona, playing with some theories and hypothesized conspiracies related to the incident.

While, aside of the fictionalized details and characters, the story follows what happened these days.

It has its merit: rhythm is good, story is interesting and well written.

One of the main characters, "el rubio", did a great job. Also, the seasoned journalist is a great actor and very natural. The problem is the other main character, Maider, the young female journalist. The actress is terrible. Unnatural, imposted and not credible in this role, breaks the rhythm and the verisimilitude of the story. A clear casting mistake.

There are a lot of details that reveals the sloppiness typical of spanish shows: minimum to zero effort in presenting the right police work and procedures of that time, and terrible action scenes. Particularly outrageous is the scene of the bomb in a car...so bad that it is even ridiculous.

With more care and detail and less impression of limited resources, as well as with better actors in some main and secondary roles, this would have been a great show.
