Holy Family (2022–2023)
2/10
Holy cr***!

Warning: Spoilers
At the beginning it was intriguing and interesting. Then the main character motivations turned out to be insane. The frequent plot twists make the episodes unbearable to watch. The extreme loyalty of Edu and the lack of character of Aitana towards her mother was insufferable. The "Thelma & Louise" ending didn't make any sense at all. The only character that was enjoyable was Alba Flores, that although was a cynical assassin, she was adamant to return the baby to its real mother. The other thing I noticed is this series at the end used a recurrent theme from the Dark series.

This was a convoluted ode to motherhood. If they would concentrate the story about the depressed woman who felt abandoned by her husband because they didn't know how to deal with their son, would be a better story, because it reenacts perfectly the lyrics from the song of the Spanish music band Mecano, "Hijo de la Luna" (Son of the moon). She literally sacrificed her son to get her husband's attention back; putting her womanhood first and her motherhood last.
