Bloodbath is a definition that is currently applied to many series, especially ‘thrillers’, which already indicates what we are going to find. But it is also used as a headline for especially bloody events. A mixture of both things are the series based … in real events, generally recent, because if we go back to the Middle Ages, bloodbaths were common things.
This morbid review of the bloodiest of our most recent past has become a gold mine for the series. The penultimate one is on Prime Video and dives into the massacre of Los Galindos, a Sevillian farmhouse, in the turbulent 1975. Its title so that there is no doubt is ‘The crime of Los Galindos’. The case had already been made into a film twelve years later by Victor Alcázar with the title ‘The Guests’, based on a book by Alfonso Grosso.
Now Prime Video has once again unearthed the dead in a documentary series in which witnesses, judges, police officers and journalists intervene, with many images from television from that time, to unravel a case that remained unsolved. In case you have forgotten, the case was a multiple crime in which five people were murdered on July 22, 1975 at the Los Galindos farmhouse, in Paradas (Seville). The culprit or culprits were never discovered. The platform series is interesting because it reflects the bungles in the investigation of the murders. A case that shows the blackest Spain.
It said this is the penultimate true crime series; the last one is yet to be done and it would be about the crimes in Puerto Urraco. Carlos Saura already made a masterful film about those crimes, ‘The Seventh Day’. I wait morbidly anxiously for them to make the series.
