About the series
“Iron Reign” is a series that knows where it’s heading from the first minute, much like its protagonist, the leader of an organization managing drug trafficking from the port of Barcelona. It doesn’t falter in its tone, there’s no ambiguity in its characters, and the script structure is well-crafted. But above all, it shines in its atmosphere, creating a convincing, realistic tone that never undermines the plot.
The actors deliver convincing performances, aided by excellent dialogues and strong characters packed with nuances and dramatic stories, set in a constantly dangerous situation. In particular, Chino Darín stands out for his outstanding acting skills. Also worth mentioning is Jaime Lorente’s role as a customs agent.
The series truly thrives under the guidance of its creator, Lluís Quílez, also responsible for the critically acclaimed film “Below Zero” (2021), who knows how to deliver a modern thriller that gives the audience what they want, but does so intelligently, concisely, and backed by a superb script.
The series hooks you in with its characters, script, resolution, style, and setting.
