The writers (among which there are the creators of the recent and underwhelming "Bajo sospecha") bring us to Thailand where the newly appointed Spanish ambassador struggles to deal with the widespread corruption.Up to the third episode the series appears solid and entertaining: the setting is original, the photography elegant and colorful, the plot fresh and realistic enough to let you accept few unlikely twists and characters.
Typical of French and Spanish productions, this series is filled with sexual overtones. Within the first 20 minutes of the first episode, there is a exhibition of "soft-porn" between an older woman and a younger man.
As Embassy setting might not be for everyone, but as long as you don't mind it, this series is incredible. I'm a native English speaker and typically enjoy HBO and Showtime dramas - and I enjoyed this series even more than most of those.
