User Reviews

One of the best-liked TV series of the 80s in Spain

Undoubtedly one of the best-liked series in Spain in the 80s, "Tristeza de amor" aired in TVE in 1986, starring Alfredo Landa and Concha Cuetos, it's about the world of radio, the first episodes deal with the crew of a radio programme, "Tristeza de Amor" (literally "Sadness of Love", however this title has little to do with the contents of the programme).

The plot evolves until the programme becomes very successful, gets a huge audience, and even wins some prestigious awards, then it is found out that Rivera, media mogul who owns the radio station, intends to discontinue this programme and fire its director, Ceferino, for no apparent reason, apart from his arrogant, spoilt and selfish will...

Great plot filled with unexpected twists and a very surprising ending. The acting is superb, Alfredo Landa at his best, trying to get rid of his image as an actor of mindless comedies of the 60s and 70s. The song by Hilario Camacho that played during the credits became one of the hits of 1986/87 in Spain.
