Top notch “Fariña” (Translation) - Spanish TV series recommendation (Part 2) https://elpais.com/cultura/2018/03/01/television/1519861311_610233.html I mentioned the actors before. Javier Rey, very well-known as Mateo in Velvet, changes completely with his take on the historical narc Sito Miñanco, the one the series focus on in order to show his evolution from his starts with his father’s fishing boats. With Rey, on the first episode, other great interpretations stand out: Antonio Durán Morris as Manuel Charlín and Manuel Lourenzo as Terito. Fariña is a local story, very local, but with global ambition. A story that may resonate outside our borders. And a series that shows that if we want, a series like that can be broadcasted on prime time on a major mainstream channel, a series that doesn’t aim to conquer all audience spectrum (thank God! There is no concession to the obsession loads of Spanish series have of pleasing everyone, from children to grandparents), a series that treats the viewer as an intelligent being and a series that is really here to innovate. And if things go wrong, let them go wrong. But it’s going to go well, it has to go well. Spanish television deserves Fariña to do well, carallo!
