Netflix’s New Spanish Thriller Has Fans Hooked
Netflix has added a new Spanish thriller to its lineup, and viewers are already taking notice. The series is called Ángela and it arrived on the platform on July 14, 2024. It runs as a six-episode limited series.
The show follows the story of Angela, a woman living in London whose world collapses when she faces abuse in her marriage. A detective becomes involved and begins to reveal shocking secrets about her husband.
To escape her situation, Angela decides to place her trust in someone who might not be safe to rely on. The danger grows as she has to choose between two risks: staying in a toxic marriage or trusting a stranger who could be worse.
Critics and audiences say the show offers more than just suspense. One reviewer explained, “Ángela is a suspenseful and emotionally gripping Spanish miniseries that captures your attention from the very first episode.” They also noted that the story keeps viewers guessing while focusing on the characters and their emotions.
Another review pointed out the strong acting, with the lead cast, Verónica Sánchez, Daniel Grao, and Jaime Zatarain, praised for bringing depth and realism to their roles. The atmosphere of the show is also being highlighted, with moody visuals and tense pacing that pull the viewer into Angela’s struggle.
Reactions online suggest that Ángela offers a different kind of thriller experience. One fan compared it to the suspense of classic Hitchcock films, saying, “These six episodes are fast paced and tense. I was never bored and the story kept me involved guessing all the time what will happen next. If you like Hitchcock movies this one is for you. It will take you on a hell ride.”
