Terra Alta

Two powerful business figures in Catalonia are found dead, and a web of questions follows. Terra Alta tracks investigators who sift through corporate deals, political favors, and private feuds to understand what happened and why. The story tightens around suspects, witnesses, and the networks linking boardrooms to city hall, never letting the audience escape the sense that every clue carries risk. The tone stays grounded and methodical, blending procedural beats with character driven pressure. As the case deepens, loyalties fracture and hidden motives surface, forcing people to confront what they would protect at any cost. The drama stays focused on realism rather than sensational twists.

Produced for 2025 release, Terra Alta was created by Eligio R. Montero and Javier Cercas. It leans on Cercas's Catalan ties and literary sensibilities, translating them into a contemporary crime mood with a strong sense of place.

Early reception praises the performances of Miguel Bernardeau, Ivan Massague and Marta Etura and notes a sober, methodical approach. The show probes power and corruption in Catalonia, focusing on motive and consequence rather than flashy twists. It asks who benefits from crime and who pays the price, with a grounded look at how business and politics intersect in the region. The series builds a dense atmosphere through careful pacing, believable settings, and a commitment to exploring the moral gray areas that arise when people chase profit at the expense of integrity.
