I just finished binging on the 4 Seasons of the Spanish ( with English subtitles) TV series Club de Cuervos on Netflix. It was one of the most entertaining TV series I have watched this year. I will rate this as 4.5 Star out of 5.0 and highly recommend it to all even if you do not identify with soccer. Here's what Wikipedia says:
Club de Cuervos, also known as Club of Crows, is a Mexican comedy-drama web television series produced by Gary Alazraki and Michael Lam.. Premiering with its full first season on August 7, 2015, it is the first Spanish-language Netflix original series. The story centers on the football club Cuervos FC, based in the fictional city of Nuevo Toledo, Mexico, and the power struggle that follows the death of its long-time owner and patriarch. Club de Cuervos stars Luis Gerardo Méndez and Mariana Treviño as two siblings who fight over ownership and direction of the team.
Scripted by both Mexican and American writers, the first season of Club de Cuervos was shot in Pachuca, Hidalgo. The series has received mostly positive reviews from critics, who praised the show's pacing and originality. It was renewed for a second season on October 28, 2015. The second season premiered on December 10, 2016. Season three premiered on September 29, 2017.
In a sense, Club de Cuervos may be Netflix’s first “prestige” soap opera. Like other prestige television, the writing is sharp and the production is inspired, but like many classic soaps, certain characters may always remain somewhat two-dimensional and appear doomed to repeat their mistakes. This show is explosive, heart-wrenching, and funny.
