What's the Story?
SEE YOU IN ANOTHER LIFE follows the trials and errors of "Baby" (Roberto Gutiérrez), and how he inadvertently helped move the explosives that set up the 2004 Madrid bombings. While on trial, Baby recounts the rough beginnings that led to this moment. At 16, with his father in prison and his mom turning to dealing to make ends meet, Baby finds very little motivation to labor in conventional society. He instead spends his days smoking with his friends, breaking into cars, and stealing anything he can get his hands on. When Emilio (Pol López) approaches Baby with a tempting yet risky opportunity, he figures he's got nothing to lose. But what Baby thought was a simple drug-dealing job turns out to be something much more sinister under the surface.
Is It Any Good?
This series starts with the tragedy, so it's all about watching how it unfolds. See You in Another Life is brutal, bleak, dark, and disorienting at times. The true story leaves a lot of potential for conversation, but the time jumps can make the series hard to follow. The language, sexual content, drug use, and violence makes this suitable only for older teens.
