We watched Grey’s Anatomy on Netflix and were hooked from the first episode!

what are you talking about

Joaquín Sorolla is much more than a public hospital in Valencia, where lives are saved every day. Physicians and residents work hard, at a breakneck pace in emergencies, where tensions, emotions, and even desires overwhelm the hearts of increasingly exhausted staff. The difficult situation of the healthcare system leads to an unprecedented situation…

who is he with

Netflix has taken its stand since Respira features actors already familiar to subscribers: fans of La Casa de Papel will recognize the formidable Alicia Sierra (Najwa Nimri) as a politician, but also one actress from the series Caliente. Elita (Manu Rios) or even the heroine of the young girls on the phone (Blanca Suarez) in the main roles. kind of crossover which works wonders on the screen.

is it worth watching

Ah, they’re strong at Netflix. Even after 17 years of existence, the platform manages, thanks to its algorithm, to offer its subscribers something new and already seen at the same time and make us addicted.

With Respira, the platform wanted to create its own Grey’s Anatomy. As surprising as it may seem, he has never produced a major medical series before. Still, it’s a genre that audiences never tire of, as evidenced by the longevity of the paragraph above.

And who better than Spain to start first? Netflix called Elite creator Carlos Montero. The latter just ended after 8 long seasons (an extraordinary length for the platform), proof that its formula is working with viewers. But what exactly is this formula? Sexual characters, sensuality, drama (with death) and political-social intrigue (especially class struggle) that are only excuses, in the end.

If Respira revolves around hospital politics in the country, it mostly follows the personal dramas of the characters: be it a politician suffering from cancer, an intern who kills a little girl due to negligence, or an oncologist who refuses to operate due to pressure. During the strike, the series depicts the lives of those who have to save their lives in a particularly difficult context.

When it comes to medical cases and their treatment, the series is neither coherent nor reliable, but we don’t watch it for that. Respira is entertainment as only the Spanish know it: it is sexy, it is too much And the characters clearly have issues. And it is for all these reasons that you will want to abuse it.

With 8 episodes averaging 45 minutes each, Respira is sure to be the biggest hit on Netflix this fall.
