Little Nicholas: Life of a Scoundrel is a Netflix documentary series about Francisco Nicolás Gómez Iglesias, a young teen known as “Little Nicholas”.
As everyone knows, where there is power, there is corruption. This is the story of a teenager named Nicolás who lived an espionage film and managed to infiltrate the power, only to have the full machinery of power fall upon him afterwards.
“The Little Nicolás” managed to attend a coronation, infiltrate societies, and mingle with politicians, businessmen, and finally, build a network of favors at the highest level thanks to several things: his ability to empathize, his ambition, and unique acting skills that made him believe in his role to the extreme.
A story that, because of its absurdity, captured the attention of the Spanish press and is now coming to Netflix narrated by Francisco Nicolás himself and former police commissioner José Manuel Villarejo.
The attraction of Netflix is truly incredible, and no one can resist appearing in one of their documentaries.
About the documentary
A fun, extravagant documentary that leaves us with many doubts, but is highly entertaining and has a great protagonist: the young lead, who does not hesitate to sing, make jokes, and show himself as he is, a captivating figure full of virtues who turned Spanish cunning into an art.
A figure that caused fascination and astonishment, and was ultimately sentenced to more than 12 years in prison for various crimes. But, as described by the protagonist and the former commissioner, nothing is clear, because it is a case full of doubts worthy of a spy series: legal investigations, alleged calls from high-ranking officials of the Spanish government, and events that, although strange, are there.
The documentary features valuable testimonies, both from a journalistic perspective and on a personal level: investigators, journalists, involved parties, and even the protagonist’s own mother, who speaks affectionately of Nicolás and his feat.
Unfortunately, we do not see the members of the political party involved.
“Little Nicholas: Life of a Scoundrel” is an opportunity to relive this case with new testimonies, but above all, it is a special occasion to reunite with this charming rogue who, no matter what they tell us, we still like because, deep down, he knew how to make fun of everyone.
Our Opinion
A character that deserves a documentary on Netflix. He is charming, friendly, and laughing at everything. True to his role until the end.
I’ll say it in Spanish: un puto genio.
