It’s an engrossing narrative where fantasy and reality exist side by side in unexpected ways. When her sister learns what Frankelda has created, jealousy sets in.

This “baby” of theirs is just as good as Las Leyendas (Legend Quest), of which I’ve seen both series and films. Thankfully, Spooks is available on HBO Max and Amazon Prime Video (USA).
