García!
Created by Carlos de Pando, Sara Antuña
On HBO Max
A political thriller pairing a cryogenically awakened Cold War super-agent with a modern investigative journalist against a fascist conspiracy threatening Spanish democracy.
In a present-day Spain, divided and on the brink of political chaos, inquisitive millennial investigative reporter Antonia stumbles on a decades-old conspiracy: the existence of a cryogenically frozen super-agent, García, created in a laboratory in the 1950s by General Franco’s fascist secret services. The old-world collides with the new as García and Antonia must learn to work together as they are drawn deeper and deeper into a political conspiracy that threatens to overthrow democracy and plunge Spain back into brutal dictatorship.
