    I came across this series on Netflix and it has me captivated, even though it is spanish with subtitles.

    Anything with time travel usually gets me interested but this is a bit different. Usually when time travel films or series go back to historical events it is from either an american or british point of view. This has actually got me interested in Spanish history, and I find myself googling historical names that are probably familiar to spanish schoolkids, but I don't know.
    I usually lose interest in anything with subtitles but each episode has a separate story but also arc stories to keep interest.

    Just wondering if I am the only one watching and if anyone else is, what are your opinions?

    I started watching it a couple of weeks ago.

    Great characters and fun stories.

    The writers have found a good way around the usual problem of time travellers not being able to repeat a mission because "you be some place you already travelled to but no explanation as to why" by having the past moving forward at the same pace as the present. So if the team spends two days in 1599 they are missing for two days from their own everyday lives and if Velázquez spends a week in 2015 he is absent from history for a week. With the exception of that damaged door with the loop.

    Good stuff.
