Crimes

I watch belatedly, surprised by its torrential audience, the

series

. Despite the alleged suspense about the identity and methodology of multiple corrupt police officers and the twisted work of the Internal Affairs section that investigates them, I have not managed to follow their chapters with continuity and order in the numerous seasons. The approach is attractive, but its narrative exhausts me. The writers do not rake their brains introducing novelties into the plot. There is always some sequence shot outdoors, a chase or street shooting and the rest is an abusive accumulation of interrogations at the police headquarters. Telling that the mafias and big crime are infiltrated among the organizations whose mission is to persecute them, offers a game for astonished or skeptical viewers about the correct functioning of law and order, but the way of expressing it is too repetitive.

'Line of Duty', an old-fashioned audience phenomenon

David Fincher, glorious inventor of memorable serial killers in the terrifying and formidable films

and

, directs several episodes of the

series

.

It is inhabited by

monsters that have reigned in American crime history, and FBI agents specializing in behavioral sciences, trying to find the roots of horror. Fincher does not abuse his prestigious firm. It works as one of the conductors of a more than correct and sometimes disturbing series. The detectives have very complicated not only their macabre professional work but also their private life. Evil is not only outside, it can be found in your own home. And it creates panic attacks, family breakdowns, and heartbreak.

Like all the Spanish football fans of my generation and many others whose incendiary diatribes caused entertainment or curiosity, I also listened to José María García on the radio.

He possessed unquestionable style, calculated and changeable aggressiveness according to his interests, abrasive manipulation, he was the king of populism.

In the

plenty of caricature and grotesque, but you also perceive reality.

It has funny moments.

And the excellent actor Javier Gutiérrez nails his legendary character.
