Play shows are omnipresent in streaming services, but attack shows where a central couple gives a lot of chemistry together. But most of them are often similar, which is a lot of filt with many pop music and camera cuts. The lighting is about as bright as possible. A new Spanish raid series follows this model.

Opening shot: A man and a woman drive down the Las Vegas strip. “Rui and I were never a normal couple,” says Amber Deval (Silvia Alonso) about the man next to her, Javier Ruiz (Álex González). “In fact, Rui and I were never a couple. It was part of a job.”

The Gist: Amber is a master thief who works alone. But for this job in Vegas, she was combined with Rui, which opened well in the misconception and the electronic switching box, in which the jewels in which they should steal, see an assembly of the two housings of the hotel and the casino and made their plans for the raid, Amber about the voice, which was mostly the only master, the master.

As part of the plan, the two marry at a wedding with mass masses and montar. The plan works perfectly and the two celebrations in a local motel; Rui talks about the next what speaks on his wish list, St. Agatha's Tiara, on the wish list. It's a bit cursed, but he loves the romantic story behind it. It also helps that the jewels on the Tiara are worth around 240 million US dollars. Shots ring out immediately, and when the thieves return the fire, Rui is hit. He says Amber that he should run; Even though she regrets, she has left Rui behind to die in this hotel room.

Three years later, Amber works as an au couple for the Villegas family, all of which fly to a remote island for the wedding of Lucia (Alicia Jaziz), the daughter of the billionaire Emilio Villegas (Asier Etxeandia), to the nerdy bird expert Jaume (Jan Buxaderas). Amber takes care of Lucia's younger brother Edgar (Eduardo Gómez Chipres). But she is also there to fulfill Rui's dream, to steal the Tiara, which the Villegas family has and remains protected under many safety layers. Lucia wears it as part of her wedding ensemble.

Amber's plan is to steal the jewels in the Tiara during the rehearsal, and it has planned a sophisticated system, including feathers of a rare bird that distracts Jaume. She almost manages to get the jewels when a tsunami alarm fails. She realizes that it is not real and is surprised to see who stands on the door of the vault and is waiting to take the jewels themselves.

What shows do you remind you of? The smooth production style of Suspicious heads reminds us of the series The company you keepThe first series by Milo Ventimiglia afterwards this is us.

Our attitude: Although we did not reveal who stood at the door of the vault, you may have a good idea of who it is, since both Alonso and González are in the advertising material for Suspicious heads. The series created by Verónica Marzá, Pablo Roa and Fernando Sancristóbal is a thriller from Action, which is supposed to be full of twists, but the first turn is one of the least surprising that we saw in a while.

Apart from that, we like how the creators go through the steps that have taken both Amber and Rui to get where they were in this vault, but only after he had found how good they were as a team by showing the vegas overfall first. Both are excellent in their respective strengths and make plans for many eventualities that may arise.

It will be fun to see that they work together from the situation and compete for the Tiara. She obviously has trust problems with him, but the fact that she fell for him could fill the normally self -confident amber with doubts. We also think that Rui also has feelings for her and not only prepared it for an extremely long -term payment.

It seems that the first season will take place in and around Lucia's wedding, and we still have to get a feeling for how the hyper-privileges of the Villegas family will play in this attack. It seems that Emilio Villegas is a rather ruthless guy, and Amber knows; How you and Rui will return to the Tiara without blowing your cover in his presence will be interesting.

Another thing that will probably observe us is the chemistry between González and Alonso. It was not as hot as the show's authors might imagine, but there was still a natural report that could get through what should help scenes in which they fight as well as those in which they are romantic.

Sex and skin: Nothing in the first episode.

Farewell shot: We let Amber and Rui caught in the vault, whereby Rui is passed out of Amber's drug kiss.

Sleeper Star: Antonio Pagudo is Julio, the security manager of Villegas on the island. We have the feeling that his role will be more involved than just greeting people and bringing the Tiara into the vault.

Most pilot line: Amber and Rui speak to the officer who will lead the mass wedding, and when the officer asks what “her song” is, says Rui “suspicious heads” from the king. Look, it is plausible that these two heard the song enough to make it a favorite, but would you choose the song if that was not a topic of the entire series (and its English title)?

Our call: Stream it. There is enough stupid fun and sexual chemistry in Suspicious heads It's fun to see. It will not tax your brain, but that's the whole point of Slick shows like this.
