It is about 1992, which remained for several weeks in the top 10 most viewed programs of the moment on Netflix. Director Álex de la Iglesia, to whom we owe the horror comedy The Day of the Beast in particular, delivers a mini-series in six episodes, not recommended for those under 16 and absolutely chilling. We discover Richi’s story there. This security agent decides to help Amparo, who has just lost her husband in an explosion, to discover the truth about this accident which, according to her, was not an accident. Their only clue: a figurine that strangely resembles Curro, the mascot of the 1992 World’s Fair, left near the fire.

The series 1992 Is it inspired by a true story?
You will surely ask yourself an important question while watching 1992 : Is all this true? While there was no serial killer at the 1992 World’s Fair in Seville, other strange events took place. A fire really ravaged the Pavilion of Discoveries, which was to host part of the exhibition, two months before its opening. Major pieces of Spanish history have been destroyed. Earlier, when launching a reproduction of the Nao Victoria ship, the first to circumnavigate the world, the boat capsized. An actress present on the bridge was then thrown into the sea and had to be rescued. If these accidents are not as chilling as the presence of a serial killer, they set the tone for a universal exhibition with a tense atmosphere, as we see in 1992.
