Crimes cease. On Monday, April 18, Castell (Ulldecona, 1982) will close the Carles Porta series, which aired on Movistar + in its Spanish dubbed version. Bravo for the result. If you were to ask me about a guilty pleasure, my answer would be to watch this documentary series without hesitation.
I admit that I got bored with the first episode. And that’s because I had to spend a real scare trying to shake up their episodes. Old style. On Mondays, as they air. When the time came, I’d turn off the room’s lights, focus on the main theme (what an accidental music, or rather, marvel of audio-visual narrative), and begin my immersion in the dark with the words of Carles Porta. side.
Knowing in advance that the cases were based on real events fueled first the desire to know how far one can go, and second, the desire to put it forward as an afterword after the story unfolded, which is more complex, which sentence? punishment was given to the accused or the accused of the crime. Although this was far from at the beginning of the episode. First, it was necessary to know the case, the victim, what the incident was, to find a trace to reach the suspects, to verify the data, to find the alleged criminals. And all this with the real statements of those who actively participated in the decision. He told the events chronologically, clearly and concisely, in a way that could arouse interest, without getting caught in legal confusion, by making it understandable and by holding the audience by the throat. To make him empathize, sometimes emotional, with those left behind, victims and perpetrators. Crimes is the best example of television to date.
