City of Shadows

What it’s about

Inspector Milo Malart, suspended for misconduct, is reinstated to investigate a gruesome crime: a charred corpse found on the facade of Gaudí's La Pedrera. Paired with Sub-Inspector Rebeca Garrido, he must navigate a city where architecture and violence collide. The case quickly exposes fractures within the force and a city that hides more than it shows.

What hooks you

Verónica Echegui plays Rebeca Garrido, the sub-inspector working alongside Isak Férriz's Milo Malart. The mini-series is directed by Jorge Torregrossa, whose control of mood and place turns Barcelona into a character of its own. Each episode title references a work by Antoni Gaudí, tying the investigation to the city's most daring architecture. The series is based on a novel, and its six episodes unfold with the density of a literary thriller.

Who it’s for

It suits viewers who like crime stories where the setting is as important as the suspects, and who enjoy a slow-burning investigation with a strong sense of place.
