City of Shadows - Netflix Series

City of Shadows - Official Trailer | Netflix
MVSRS

This is like a remake of 1992. We're in Barcelona, Spain, where we have a determined madman taking gruesome revenge on various civic leaders over the urban redevelopment that took place in preparation for the 1992 Olympics. We have several of the standard Netflix players here: 

• the troubled, macho detective paired with 
• the pretty girl analyst detective and 
• their stick-in-the mud supervisor.

Big difference in this show is we get to tour several of Gaudi's fabulous creations.

Turns out the madman has a sister and they are working together to not only exact revenge for having their home taken when they were kids, but also for their treatment in the orphanage. The madman was a real firebug when he was younger and that aspect of his personality re-emerges when he sets out on his course of revenge.

Milo is under suspension for punching his boss. To be fair he's been having a hard time. He lost his father to schizophrenia, his nephew to suicide, his wife has moved out, and his brother is slowly losing his mind. Also, his boss is a jerk. Rebeca isn't much better off, she just lost her mother in Madrid and moved to Barcelona.

Cast

• Isak Férriz: Milo Malart - Detective investigating the murders
• Verónica Echegui: Rebeca Garrido - Investigator working with Malart

• Jordi Ballester: Jordi Singla 
• Jordi Rico
• David Climent: Cervera

I suspect Jordi and Jordi play coppers, did not find any definitive information about their roles. Note they have real life brother and sister playing the sibling villains.

Verónica Echegui died of cancer in August of this year. She was 42 years old.

By coincidence I came across this photo of Gaudi's cathedral from 1906:
