Smiley is what you would expect a Spanish series to be like. It's all a bit too colourful, the actors are more or less excited and talk too much, the story tends to take a back seat because it's implausible, leaves a lot to the ideas of scriptwriters who have read or written too many scripts themselves and casts a troupe of more or less good-looking young actors who reduce their clothes at every opportunity. Smiley is not really any different. And even if everything seems very sympathetic, the problems of the LGBTIQ community virtually vanish into thin air, if they exist at all, due to the tolerant society in which the main characters move, it all seems a bit too artificial, kitschy and of course unbelievable. However, if you like to watch exactly what happens, then this mini-series, which runs just right for Christmas, is the perfect piece of sugar cake.
