The series takes a real life case "Caso de la Guardia Urbana" and dramatizes it, adding and subtracting details to captivate the viewers. I am not sure what I feel about a real crime being dramatized to such an extent, but the series does its best in not insulting the victim, so I guess it can pass.
The series, as the title goes as well, is about a burnt body of a police officer, Pedro Rodrigues, found in his car outside the city. Pedro's current partner, Rosa Peral, is the main protagonist of the story, and we see many other characters involved in what seems like her own web of lies, manipulation, relationships, betrayal.
If it were a novel, it would be a mandatory beach read for women in their 30-40s, I feel. And the series targets its audience very directly too. I found it entertaining, if a little predictable. Even if I didn't know of the real case before, I found that I could predict the sequence of events.
I found the acting to be very good, I especially admired Ursula Corbero in this role. They chose to represent Rosa Peral as a master manipulator, and Ursula has managed to depict this really well.
Since it was representing a real event, it could not deviate as much from the real course of events, I imagine. Still, it did not get me stuck to the screen or dying to see the next episode. The series is good, that's it. Would I recommend it? Maybe, but not to everyone. And it won't be the first to mention either.
