Three years after the film boom, 'Hasta el cielo' returned to Netflix in series format

In the beginning it was a car crashing into a jewelry store.

And then they ransacked it in three minutes.

This is how the film

began and triumphed in 2020 , in which the actor

(“Río” from La casa de papel) was the leader of a gang of

Last Friday

 the sequel (in episodic mode),

Action, thriller, seduction, betrayals, dark policemen and youthful deaths.

And some young people from the suburbs who get rich crashing cars into jewelry stores (in the windows or glass windows, hence

Billboard jump: the actress and dancer Asia Ortega, who was in the film, now comes to the fore as a criminal boss.

And looting them before the police fall.

It is not worth

what happened to Miguel Herrán in the film, although

.

But almost everyone else comes back.

The movie was a massive hit and it's also on Netflix.

There they seduce Miguel Herrán (as Ángel, a more unleashed “Río”), Carolina Yuste (the dangerous brunette Estrella), and Asia Ortega (his beautiful and kind wife).

With one caveat: the latter is the daughter of the capomafia in this black market for stolen items, Rogelio (the expert Luis Tosar).

The game of (new) roles

In the series,

.

And

.

The film failed to balance its sequences across Madrid and Ibiza with the rushed romantic drama of its tense characters.

Halfway through it became somewhat repetitive.

Asia Ortega's moments gave them air at two hours, but

.

The gang of robbers is made up of several Spanish rappers and famous influencers.

This new fiction

It consists of

and the forces in conflict on the black market for stolen goods.

And the legal ones, no less dark.

The director Daniel Calparsoro and the screenwriter Jorge Guerricaechevarría kept the rest of the cast and

(the sinuous and refined Polo, one of the student-villains of the Elite series) as Fernán: he represents a love interest for Sole (Asia Ortega), and the new coequiper of car thefts, replacing Miguel Herrán's Ángel.

Hasta el cielo: the series

 has numerous illustrious names of cinema and series in Spain.

One that stands out is

: who was the insufferable Colonel Luis Tamayo from

The best adviser on how to launder money after exploding shop windows in Madrid.

Luis Tosar plays Rogelio, the mastermind of the black market for stolen goods and his daughter's rival.

But the central axis is in the ambitious plans, at full speed, of the gang of aluniceros.

Also in the power games between the characters of Álvaro Rico and Asia Ortega, this great 27-year-old actress and dancer on the rise after having starred in the

terrifying and twisted series

The plot continues betting on the collective game

The attraction of this fiction is the group

The codes between Sole, Fernán and their sides: the influencer

Porras, as Rosa, and the rappers

as Motos,

as Gitano and

as Toño.

And, above all, the great Tosar as Rogelio:

.

Those who have seen the 2020 film know what Sole's father is capable of, managing influences or giving orders to a certain police-killer (actor Tomás del Estal, 56).

In good narco style,

and his love for his daughter Sole, now without his Ángel.

How will Rogelio take that Sole seeks to lead the business and the band?

Will there be a crisis of double power?

Álvaro Rico joins the band of "Hasta el cielo: la serie".

He was Polo in 'Elite'.

Again, better not

what happened in

But now you see the consequences.

Another point in favor of the brand new Netflix fiction is that of

The series has a life of its own.

But it is not essential to have seen the film:

and the nuances of the protagonist, Asia Ortega, go better with the secrets and deceptions that arise between the different sides.

Not only in Madrid:

.

Miguel Herrán is no longer part of the band.

The protagonist of the story now falls on Asia Ortega.

This band will not have the charisma of La casa de papel, but it has another plus

: it is inspired by a true case.

The director Daniel Calparsoro was caught in 2013 by the documentary made by the journalist Manuel Marlasca, about the

What captivated the director?

"The organization of the gangs and the robbery modality -he said- are very good to lead to fiction".

We will have to see the local impact that the series achieves.

Of course, I hope that crashing cars into shops continues to seem like something incredible in Argentina.
