I will be honest: I love anything Spanish, and even if they are not well known for films and TV Series (apart from the breakout hit, Money Heist) I think they have been doing quite well with their historical series. A fairly good example was Morocco: Love in Times of War, set in North Africa and the more recent, Grand Hotel which was a thriller set in Edwardian times. In fact the setting for this series looks very similar to Grand Hotel.
The story follows a young cook who finds employment at the luxurious Castamar estate and eventually becomes involved with its owner. The story is quite involved, and I think it is often a bit confusing, but the sets, costumes and camerawork are spot on. The voices are dubbed like so many Spanish series, but to be honest, this is quite well done, as in Money Heist. The ending is fairly predictable, but it always kept my attention even if it wasn't the most memorable Spanish production. But there is more in the pipeline, including a series of El Cid, starring one of the young stars of Money Heist, so there is more to look forward to.
