La Unidad

This series is a fictionalized account based on the previously unpublished testimonies of top counterterrorism professionals. A gripping police thriller that reveals how they operate and the conflicts in their lives. Filmed in Melilla, Tangier, Perpignan, Girona, Madrid, Galicia, Nigeria, and Toulouse. The story revolves around Carla (Nathalie Poza), the head of the Police Investigation Unit against Jihadist Terrorism. When one of her operations culminates in the arrest of Salah Al Garheeb, the world's most wanted leader, success becomes the greatest threat in history. Spain becomes a target for his followers, led by his son, whose numbers swell to thousands. Many are willing to sacrifice their lives. In this unprecedentedly dangerous situation, Carla must grapple with her own conflicts, including personal ones. Among them is Marcos, the father of her daughter, from whom she is separated, and one of the unit's best agents. Alongside them is a team of police officers, dedicated to the country's most important investigation with international connections. These are necessarily invisible professionals with unknown missions, protecting thousands of people while trying to sort out private lives that their work has, in part, taken from them.
