The premise of the show is that of Saaarrff Laaandaan gangsters on the Costaaa.
While this is the plot it plays out more like a cheesy 90s soap opera set in the 80s.
The soundtrack is this shows redeeming feature but it is utilised into the show heavily, expect characters to mime the words of the song playing at various points in the show. Yes its that cheesy, now i like that sort of thing as I enjoy a bit of cheese but within this setting its a bit tone deaf.
The acting is ok here and there but its also very ' british stage school ' the grittiness is not there so don't expect that sort of crime drama here.
The setting in spain is not very well done and doesn't feel very 80s but they do make up for this with the outfits and make up.
The story is pretty weak as well, there is not enough there to keep you intrigued or to care so much about the fate of these characters. On the subject of characters, they are all pretty one dimensional tropes of a gangster family.
Overall its a well made mess of a show with a great soundtrack.
6/10.
