Director: Jorge Guerricaechevarría
A grieving daughter turns detective in this Spanish crime series, trading courtrooms for the shadow economy of Galicia's coastline.
What is Gangs Of Galicia about?
Gangs of Galicia opens with a killing that unravels a family's carefully hidden past. A young lawyer discovers her late father led a double life tied to the region's drug trade, and rather than walk away, she edges closer to the very cartel responsible for his death. Posing her way into the organization, she builds a bond with its leader that blurs the line between investigation and entanglement. Set along Spain's rain-swept Atlantic coast, the eight-episode run follows smuggling routes, family loyalty, and the quiet corruption that keeps a fishing region's underground economy running. Clara Lago anchors the series as the lawyer caught between grief and ambition, while Tamar Novas plays the cartel figure she cannot fully trust or fully leave. Director Jorge Guerricaechevarría, known for genre-sharp Spanish thrillers, keeps the pacing tense across a season built more on slow-burn dread than shootouts.
Cast & crew
Clara Lago leads as the lawyer-turned-infiltrator, with Tamar Novas as the cartel boss whose orbit she enters. Xosé A. Touriñán, Chechu Salgado, Melania Cruz, Miguel de Lira, Francesc Garrido, and Diego Anido round out a cast steeped in Galician and wider Spanish television, giving the local setting an authentic, regionally grounded feel rather than a generic crime-drama backdrop.
Context & significance
Gangs of Galicia arrived in 2024 as part of a wave of regional Spanish-language crime series exploring smuggling economies outside Madrid and Barcelona. Its 40-minute episodes and IMDb rating of 6.4 place it alongside similarly grounded European crime dramas that favor character study over spectacle. The Galician setting, with its fishing ports and coastal fog, functions almost as a second lead, shaping how the story's drug trade is smuggled, moved, and hidden.
