Overview

Valencia, 1993. For Ignacio Jordá, sex is his greatest obsession. But Nacho is done with being the black sheep of his family and wants to show he can do more than drift through life, even if that means "fucking" everyone.

Critical Reception

What critics are saying

Score 48 /100

Critical reception for Nacho is predominantly mixed to negative, with reviewers feeling the biographical series about adult film star Nacho Vidal fails to deliver a cohesive experience. While the show attempts to be bold, stylized, and humorous, critics argue that it frequently trips over its own visuals and tantalizing narrative.

On a thematic level, some praise is given to how the series dissects sex across various social axes, examining how societal attitudes shape and respond to the adult entertainment industry without resorting to screechy melodrama. However, reviewers highlight that the central lead performance ultimately fails to make a compelling impression, reducing the protagonist to a typical, one-dimensional trope.

Ultimately, the series leaves viewers with a polarizing experience that turns audiences both on and off, resulting in a show that feels visually ambitious yet narrative-wise disappointing and disjointed.

“in its attempt to be bold and funny, trips on its own trippy visuals and tantalizing narrative”

“Martin Rivas' series is disappointing and all over the place”

“the show spends a lot of time dissecting it as a concept along a number of social axes, exploring the different attitudes that people have towards sex”

Why fans love it

Martiño Rivas anchors this 2023 drama as a man straining against the expectations of his family in early nineties Valencia. The series trades the glossy, sanitized tropes of biographical storytelling for a gritty look at the adult film industry. It portrays the path to notoriety as a calculated gamble, centering on a protagonist who views his own obsession as a vehicle for self-determination.

The show functions as a period piece that explores identity through the lens of a career choice most dramas avoid. By framing the rise of its subject within a specific cultural moment, it highlights the friction between personal ambition and public perception. Decisions are never presented as moral lessons but as cold, tactical maneuvers in an industry built on performance.
