Visually, it's the Basque Country exactly as I remember it, so it felt like I was really there.
The divided narration makes the whole story more compelling than it could be, it shows you both perspectives without really judging them.
Acting is awesome, special kudos to the girl who played Arantxa, but basically everyone was so natural as if you watched your neighbours.
But these are just technicalities and this show is so much more than that. After each episode my face was wet with tears, I dreamt it, I started crying when I thought about it, my eyes have filled with tears even now as I'm writing it. This story gets to you and becomes personal even if you have nothing to do with it. It's universal. There's no taking sides. It's about people who become victims of the times they got to live in.
