we love the (sometimes sorta trashy) Spanish Netflix series. It must be a pretty small scene for actors over there because it's kinda fun to see your favorite actors again and again in different shows. Sooooo much better than US TV etc.
Las Chicas del Cable (Cable Girls)
Set in 1920's Spain, four young women begin working as phone operators at one of the world's first modern telecommunications companies.
Gran Hotel (Grand Hotel)
This popular period drama from Spain is now available on Netflix, and featuring a major mystery that involves both the owners and the servants at a 1900's aristocratic hotel.
Club de Cuervos (Club of Crows)
If you're in the mood for a dramedy that brings as many laughs as it does feels, Club de Cuervos will do the trick. Chava and Isabel are two siblings who inherit their father's soccer team after he unexpectedly dies, and their battle toward who gets to be the boss is full of the kind of drama that will keep novela-lovers on the edge of their seat every episode.
Velvet
The main storyline of the show is the love story of Alberto Márquez (played by Miguel Ángel Silvestre), heir of Galerías Velvet, one of the most prestigious fashion houses in the Spain of the late 1950s, and Ana Rivera (Paula Echevarría), who works as a seamstress there.

either way it's a win for them
A) They either develop or have the ability to get info (or manufacture it) on *anyone*
AND/OR
B) They create a gigantic parasitic industry, taxpayer funded "$ecurity industrial complex" (SIC) and crony capitalism makes BANK.
Don't underestimate "B" - it doesn't have to "work" at all to make a ton of money.
Likely it will be a combination of "selective "A" where info can be collected / used against political enemies and "B" for the big dollar win. Actual benefits for the average citizen will be zip.
