Plot

Set in a not distant figure, under which the governments have restricted liberties, a member of the resistance against the system, Daniel, is imprisoned for life into a high-security prison located on an oil platform.[2] In order to get him out of the prison, his wife Anna becomes a prison officer and develops an extremely risky rescue plan.[2]

Cast

Production and release

The filming of the series started in July 2011 under the provisional title '2055'.[2] The shooting location reportedly was a 3,000 m2 set in San Sebastián de los Reyes.[9] The first episode premiered on 11 January 2012 on Telecinco.[10] The series comprised twelve 70-minute long episodes.[9]

Reception

After a "promising" 16.9 % share of audience in the first episode (overcoming its Wednesday rival Downton Abbey),[11] the number of viewers deflated gradually down to a minimum of 8.5 % in the penultimate episode, averaging a "weak" 11.3 %,[10] even after Telecinco's decission to reshuffle the series from Wednesday to Tuesday and then again back to Wednesday.[10]

Telecinco decided not to renew the series for a second season.[12]

The web airing fared better becoming one of the most demanded online contents of Mediaset España's Mitele platform,[13] and, well received abroad at the Cannes' MIPTV (joining the event's "Wit List"),[14] DirecTV purchased its rights for the Americas.[10]
