I must admit I didn't expect Bajo Sospecha to be half as good when I started watching it - but pretty soon it had me hooked!
The two seasons are pretty different from each other, in my opinion, with the second being better. The first one, although it had a pretty engaging plotline, failed in the character development department. Instead of making us identify with the detectives, it invested a lot in the characters of the family, the suspects, which for me was a mistake, as they would always be doubted by the viewer.
However, the first season set up a pretty good foundation for the second one, especially in its depiction of undercover work. In the second season we were used to the way Victor and his partner would work and the massive expansion of the suspect (and victim) list was challenging, but not difficult to follow. The character development in the second season is totally different from the first, and excellent, I believe. Things get much more personal.
However, I loved both seasons, because at the very least they kept me on the edge of my seat and the twists were endless. The first one won me because of the singular mystery, while the second one relied more on character development (still the mystery was very hard to solve until the last episode or two). To this I'd like to add the excellent performances of all actors in both seasons. I couldn't identify one weak link in any of the major characters. My personal favourite, other than Victor, was a certain character common between the seasons, who reappeared entirely unexpectedly in the second season to become a main character.
