Respira

Netflix's Respira is a blatant rip-off of the worst parts of House. The series suffers from a poorly written script, uneven pacing, and a lack of originality. The attempt to normalize transgender representation is commendable, but it feels shoehorned into the narrative and doesn't add anything meaningful to the story. The medical cases are often unbelievable and the characters are underdeveloped. If you're looking for a well-crafted medical drama, I would recommend looking elsewhere.

Netflix's Respira is a disappointing and derivative series that blatantly copies the worst aspects of House. The script is poorly written and the pacing is uneven. While I appreciate the attempt to normalize transgender representation, it feels forced and out of place in the narrative. Overall, Respira is a missed opportunity that fails to deliver on its premise.

"Respira" falls disappointingly flat, borrowing heavily from the ambiance of "Elite" but failing to capture the intrigue and sophistication that made the latter a hit. The show's atmosphere, while attempting to evoke a sense of rebellious glamor, feels like a pale imitation of its predecessor. The storyline, which one might hope would provide some unique twist or engaging drama, instead trudges through a series of predictably dull and uninspired plot points. Characters lack depth and fail to evoke any real empathy or connection, making it hard to invest emotionally in their journeys. The pacing is painfully slow, with many scenes dragging on without adding meaningful content or advancing the plot. Moreover, the filming techniques seem amateurish at best, with awkward camera angles and poorly executed transitions that disrupt the flow and further detract from the viewing experience. Overall, "Respira" is a tedious watch that leaves much to be desired in terms of originality and entertainment value. It stands as a weak attempt to replicate the success of "Elite," but ends up being a chore to get through. Skip this one if you're looking for something engaging and well-crafted.

If you watched Grey's Anatomy, then you will know what is it about. More or less all these shows are the same with more or less drama and since this is the Spanish serious that means drama drama drama drama. I must say that I really enjoying the acting of almost all characters and sometimes I need to tell myself wait this is not real.

At the end, this is the show that you know how it will go all the way With all social problems and all equalities included at the moment a bit forced.. So it's not bad it's not amazing.

You should check it out by yourself and decide if it's worth of watching or not.

This is garbage, pure and simple! It's just another rip off of the constant stream of medical hospital dramas. The difference with this one is that it's really done extremely poorly to the point where most of the incidents bear no relation to medical reality. It's as if there were no medical adviser on the set! It would really be a stretch to believe that hospitals in Spain are so poorly run, but then again, maybe that is the case! As with all of the TV series from Spain, the sound is poorly engineered so that the dialog is mostly inaudible. They really need to hire sound engineers or use modern equipment and technology to ensure clarity of the soundtrack!

I'm a fan of medical dramas. E. R., House, The Resident, Chicago Med... I watch them all and am willing to suspend disbelief.

I also loved Transplant and wish it would come back.

I am not a medical professional but have interacted a lot with the medical-industrial complex.

Some of what goes on here medically is silly. But I watched all the episodes (in Spanish with English subtitles) and found myself liking the characters and being interested in their lives.

There's nothing here original but TBH in the current U. S. shows there isn't either. All the territory has been covered. Moreover it's predictable but... sic.

So I thought it was okay and recommend it if you like medical dramas and are willing to put up with the sex and the gore (both more extreme I think).
