Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for action fans.
The mood: Exciting.
The pace: 2 seasons: a few weeks of evenings, episodes of about 45 minutes, about 80 hours in all.
What might put you off: Rated TV-MA: meant for adults.
It was cancelled, so the story may not get a proper ending.
It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
