PREMIUM SPOTLIGHT ON SPANISH CIVIL WAR SET HISTORICAL SERIES THE PATIENTS OF DOCTOR GARCIA WHICH STARTS THIS MONTH ON NETFLIX

 PATIENTS OF DOCTOR GARCIA 

NEW SPANISH NETFLIX SERIES

The series streams from April 28th on Netflix

Here is a totally unexpected surprise for you: Netflix has, out of a sudden, scheduled a brand new historical series for next week! From April 28th, ten episodes of THE PATIENT OF DOCTOR GARCIA will be available for streaming on the streamer. You probably remember that a few years ago I announced work on Los Pacientes del doctor Garcia, Spanish period drama series about Doctor Guillermo Garcia and Manuel Arroyo, a Republican diplomat who infiltrates a clandestine network that helps Nazis settle in Spain and Latin America. Javier Rey stars as the titular character Doctor Garcia, with Tamar Novas as Arroyo. The female lead went to the godawful Veronica Echegui. The series, based on the novel written by Almudena Grandes set in the Civil War and the Spanish post-war years, was produced by Spanish national broadcaster RTVE and Netflix Espana. The series already started in Spain on April 19th.

 

  THE STORY OF THE SERIES
After Franco's victory, Dr. Guillermo García Medina (Javier Rey) continues to live in Madrid under a false identity. The documentation that freed him from the firing squad was a gift from his best friend, Manuel Arroyo Benítez (Tamar Novas), a Republican diplomat whose life he saved in 1937. Doctor García believes that he will never see him again but, in September 1946, Manuel returns from exile with a secret and dangerous mission. The republican diplomat intends to infiltrate a clandestine organization, the evasion network of war criminals and fugitives from the Third Reich led from the Argüelles quarter by a German and Spanish, Nazi and Falangist woman named Clara Stauffer.
