Synopsis
With masterfully executed narrative exaggerations and points of social criticism, director and showrunner Dani Levy stages an enjoyable tall tale. The series' tension and momentum gather pace from episode to episode. The stakes in this crime comedy are high, as Levy does not shy away from risky directorial manoeuvres; even musical moments find a place in this wild mix. The dialogue impresses with wit and perfect timing. (Filmdienst)
