What's the Story?
INNATE follows Sara (Elena Anaya) trying to navigate her career, family, and mental health living in the shadow of her father Félix (Imanol Arias), aka "The Diesel Killer." She keeps her connection to him as separate as she can, hiding her history from her curious son and husband. But when Félix is released after serving twenty years, new murders matching The Diesel Killer ‘s MO catch the attention of investigator Arias (Emma Suárez.) Known as an expert in The Diesel Killer's past, Sara is pulled into the investigation. But while they suspect Félix is killing again, Sara believes there's something off with the bigger picture. Will they catch Félix before his next victim, or is there actually a copycat killer on the loose?
Is It Any Good?
This series weaves a tense web between murderous nature versus nurture. Innate combines a slow-paced, complex story with dark character dynamics. Anaya and Arias' performances portray the uneasy and strained relationship well. The violence, language, sexual content, drinking, and drug use makes this suitable for older viewers.
