Amazon Prime Video has had a very interesting year in terms of releases<\/strong>. Although it recently suffered a small public setback after adding ads to the basic rate of the streaming platform, it has more than made up for it with Fallout<\/a>, a series that adapts the Bethesda video game and has become the second most viewed on its platform \u2014after, mind you, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power\u2014.<\/p>\n\n\n

Now, Jeff Bezos’<\/a> platform has just added to its catalog a Spanish series that is quickly climbing the global charts: Perverso<\/strong>. Created by Alonso Laporta alongside Gustavo Ron and \u00c1ngela Armero, the series serves as a spin-off of Parot, a 2021 series that talks about the repeal of the Parot Doctrine in Spain. However, it is a completely independent series and, rather than serving as a continuation of the previous one, it serves as a complement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perverso connects with Parot thanks to the character Juli\u00e1n L\u00f3pez de Haro<\/strong>, played by Iv\u00e1n Massagu\u00e9 (El Hoyo<\/a>) in a state of grace. The actor takes on his role as a Machiavellian aristocrat imprisoned for rape and murder, this time in a more leading role with his “perversion” as the central axis of the plot. In this case, the plot takes us into the twisted mind of Juli\u00e1n, who while locked up plans his revenge against the judge who sentenced him, played by the also masterful Kira Mir\u00f3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the first moments of Perverso, it is clear that the biggest attraction of the series lies in Iv\u00e1n Massagu\u00e9’s interpretation as the sinister Juli\u00e1n L\u00f3pez de Haro. After stealing the show in Parot, the creators decided that he deserved his own series<\/strong> \u2014yes, something like Berlin with Money Heist<\/a>\u2014, and the truth is that he shines in this new opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Massagu\u00e9 manages to capture the essence of a cold and calculating psychopath, endowing the character with a magnetic presence on screen. His raspy voice, his stillness in speech, and his ability to convey contained violence are aspects that make every scene in which he appears fascinating to watch. Without a doubt, the most compelling reason to watch this fiction on Prime Video<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The series begins when Juli\u00e1n receives a death threat from a kidnapper (Jan Cornet). This adds a new twist to the narrative, as it directly targets the business elite, and brings an interesting subtext to the series. However, while this initial premise promises intrigue and suspense, the series stumbles with the lack of originality in some of its elements. Genre tropes, such as parallel editing in the search for the kidnapper or betrayals between characters, are predictable and diminish the impact of a plot that wouldn’t need these resources to interest<\/strong> the general public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, although Massagu\u00e9 shines on his own<\/strong>, the rest of the cast of Perverso does not always manage to maintain the same level of excellence. It is clear that there are flashes of talent in actors like Esmeralda Pimentel as lawyer Mariana, and Jan Cornet as the kidnapper, but some supporting characters feel blurred or stereotyped, which limits their impact on the story and makes it clear that everything is done for Massagu\u00e9 to shine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, one of the most interesting aspects of Perverso is its exploration of themes such as corruption in the judicial system and the privileges of the elite. The series offers a critical view of how money and power can corrupt even those in charge of dispensing justice<\/strong>. At times, these reflections are overshadowed by a somewhat superficial execution, but it delves just enough into the plot to not hinder it either.<\/p>\n\n\n

That being said, Perverso is a series that oscillates between promise and convention. While it offers moments of intrigue and a memorable villain thanks to Iv\u00e1n Massagu\u00e9, its predictable plot prevents it from reaching its full potential. Despite this, it remains a mainstream entertainment that, of course, succeeds wherever it is released.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
