Production and release
Created by Verónica Fernández, the series is a mashup of legal drama, police drama and family drama. It was produced by Mediaset España in collaboration with Big Bang Media. Shooting began in November 2018, and it took place in Madrid and Gijón. Joaquín Llamas, Sandra Gallego, Alberto Ruiz-Rojo and Jesús Font directed the episodes. Consisting of 13 episodes with a running time of about 75 minutes, the series was launched on Amazon Prime Video on 6 March 2020. After its release on Prime Video, Mediaset España chose Cuatro rather than its flagship channel Telecinco for the free-to-air broadcasting of the series. The first episode aired on Cuatro on 15 March 2021 earned "good" ratings (1,119,000 viewers and a 7.9% share), above the channel's average.
