Ricardo Rosado of
Fotogramas rated the miniseries 5 out of 5 stars, writing the Vigalondo does not hide a "radical act of love for the fascinating, for the frontiers of the traditional and for the capacity of the narrative to make canonical what was clearly impossible". Alfonso Rivera of
Cineuropa assessed that "while the pathetic, grotesque and delirious go hand in hand, the series also overflows with glitter, unbridled imagination and a baroque flair". Andrea G. Bermejo of
Cinemanía deemed the first and last episodes to be "masterpieces that are already part of the history of Spanish television". Raquel Hernández Luján of
HobbyConsolas gave
Superestar 55 points ('so-so') lamenting that "it is a very uneven series that takes us back to a shameful period of television. It is even embarrassing to travel to this past". Natalia Marcos of
El País pointed out that Vigalondo approaches
Tamarismo "from a
surrealistic point of view, in many moments
Lynchian, to portray grotesque characters with a good load of poignancy". == Accolades ==
