I will definitely check this out. Nice to see HBO showing these Spanish shows on Max. Although I guess they've been heavily investing in non-US programming, as 30 Coins is an HBO Europe production. I'm guessing this is under the same banner.

I ripped through this in two days this past weekend. It's fantastic. They do some REALLY smart things to keep the audience engaged.

Binged it last Sat, pretty entertaining! As with most mini-series the second half isn't as good as the first, but I got the ending I was hoping for!

Shit, you're right. The MTV show was just called "The Head" as well.
But those were great sketches also!

I watched this last week and thought it was well done and entertaining. There are some good twists and turns. I did predict the ending pretty early, though.

Overall, pretty good. It was a bit convoluted, but I liked the ending.

Drop what you're doing and watch this excellent and overlooked HBO Max acquired series.
Excellent cinematography, location cast and writing. Loved every minute of this harrowing and suspenseful ride.
Really loving all these international series lately...30 Coins on HBO being another incredible series.

This has been on deck for me to watch around my travels/chaotic schedule for a while now but it hasn't worked out. Glad it sounds like it will be worth the wait.

So I finally watched. I agree it was a nice production. But I was bummed that I had the ending pretty well figured out by the time I watched the finale, so no surprises. I had pegged all the "remember this" flashback moments as they occurred. I probably watch too much TV. Still worth the watch though.
