"Los Nuestros" is a miniseries from Spain, available to watch in the U.S. (no subtitles, however) via the mitele.es website (the viewing website for TeleCinco). You never know what to expect of a TV miniseries, usually not much, but Los Nuestros blew me away. It is a riveting tale of two Spanish children who are kidnapped by jihadists, and the incredible lengths Spanish Special Ops must go through to rescue them. Everything in Los Nuestros is first-rate: the acting, the script, the production values, everything!! It is shown in three installments, about four hours in total, and keeps you at the edge of your seat pretty much from beginning to end. You can imagine that there are a lot of plot twists and almost-but-not-quite cliffhangers over the course of the four hours. The action and drama get extreme at times, but never go overboard. If you watch it via the mitele site, you have to put up with a few commercials, but Los Nuestros is well worth it.
