This is a series that takes a little time to get rolling, but, trust me: the wait is worth it. A Latin-speaking mom, Monica, a nurse, leaves Mexico for Spain with her husband and teenaged daughter. Her husband had a shady background, and, soon, it appears people in Madrid are hunting for them. Why? Revenge, leverage for extortion? It's not clear. Enter a hit man, following the wife. The assassin, Daniel, is a lookalike for a young Beniccio Del Torre (actor's real name: Eduardo Noriega.. sounds fake). By pure coincidence, Monica saves Daniel's life after a public terrorist bombing. Daniel relents, keeps his 'hit' money, but starts to act as Monica's bodyguard.
When Monica's pretty daughter, Natalia goes missing, Daniel (who is actually a former cop, but washed out) offers to aid in finding her. Soon, Monica herself falls into enemy hands while chasing down leads. It's up to her husband, and Daniel to get to the bad guys in time. But can they rescue Natalia, who has been trafficked abroad, in time?
Edge-of-your-seat suspenseful, with brilliant use of coincidence, and a mix of connected characters, this top notch series makes it hard to shut off. Binge worthy indeed. Congrats, Netflix-you batted it out of the park with this one!
9/10
