Premise

The story centers on Isabel Garrido, a young Spanish woman who survived the Mauthausen concentration camp and is searching for Otto Bachmann, described as the most dangerous man in Europe and the officer responsible for what she endured. She discovers she is not alone in her mission and joins a group of agents seeking justice.2 Netflix's own synopsis describes the group as self-trained spies pursuing justice against Nazis fleeing to Spain to hide after the war.4

According to a review of the series, Isabel witnessed her father killed in the camps as a child and lost her brother to the horrors of Mauthausen, and she is determined to kill the officer who oversaw it. A secretive group of hunters who have been watching her stop her from carrying out the mission alone and recruit her into a larger operation: uncovering ODESSA, a codename for Nazi underground escape plans.5

Reception and context

Viewer response was mixed. The series holds an IMDb rating of 5.8 based on roughly 2,500 votes, and a JustWatch rating of 44% from 149 ratings.3 A review described the series as an exciting historical drama with strong action and compelling characters, but judged it too short for the story it tried to tell, and noted that it shifts from historical drama toward all-out action toward the end, giving it a tonally uneven feel.5 The same review compared it to Hunters on Amazon Prime, which depicts a similar group of Nazi hunters.5

The series belongs to a body of twenty-first-century Spanish television fiction that represents Nazism and the Holocaust. Scholarly analysis of these productions argues that Spanish series connect the genocide and Nazism to recent Spanish history through Spanish characters and territorial and political markers, a strategy of reterritorialization (framing foreign events within a nation's own memory) that incorporates these themes into Spanish memory systems.6

The series streams on Netflix and Netflix Standard with Ads, with no free streaming options listed as of the most recent check. It carries a TV-MA age rating, runs about 45 minutes per episode, and is available in HD and 4K with Dolby Atmos audio and Dolby Vision video.3 Netflix lists its genres as TV dramas and Spanish drama, and describes the show as ominous, fast-paced, and action-driven.4
