Money Heist is the best thing on Netflix. Don't try and argue with us, it's just a fact. The Spanish show is incredibly well put together, with an unbelievably clever storyline.
If you have been putting it off because you're not a fan of subtitles, trust us when we say it's worth watching.
The new offering from the creator of Money Heist, Álex Pina, has been added to Netflix today and if this one is even half as good then we are in for a treat.
White Lines is set in Ibiza, where the body of a renowned English DJ is discovered 20 years after he disappeared. His sister travels to the Spanish island to try and find out what exactly happened to him, becoming embroiled in a shady underworld as a result.
It's also in English. You can watch the trailer below:
The show is described as:
The body of a legendary Manchester DJ is discovered twenty years after his mysterious disappearance from Ibiza.
When his sister returns to the beautiful Spanish island to find out what happened, her investigation leads her through a thrilling world of dance clubs, lies and cover-ups, forcing her to confront the darker sides of her own character in a place where people live life on the edge.
Early reviews are in for the show and they are very promising. Lucy Mangan of The Guardian said that even during this unorthodox times, this is the ideal summer hit:
'White Lines' has been hyped as the hit of the summer, and even though it will not be the summer any of us were expecting I’d be surprised if this lurid, swirling, fantastically confident creation didn’t hit the spot.
Its energetic brio and the escapism-cum-nostalgia-trip (via a soundtrack stuffed with the Happy Mondays, the Farm, Radiohead and all points in between), may be even more rapturously received under current conditions than it would otherwise have been.
Meanwhile, Gary Ryan of NME said this is another example of Spanish TV shows taking the world by storm:
Spanish TV seems to be having a moment on Netflix (see also Elite) and White Lines confirms Pina is at the top of his game. It’s a 10 episode head-rush that never pulls a narrative whitey – and a satisfying conclusion won’t leave you with a post-binge comedown.
