🍿 REVIEWS News – Paris/France.
The suspicion is that the German-speaking countries are not the target territory of this Netflix series is. A formal indication of this is the absence of a German trailer for the Spanish series, which is about a young woman (Blanca Suàrez, "Die Telefonistinnen") who competes in the 1960s for the His father was murdered by the Nazis get revenge. Which brings us to the second point: in Germany or Austria, the commercialization of Holocaust stories would at least be debated.
“Jaguar” is about a young woman who calls herself Isabel. She serves tables in a restaurant in Madrid where German visitors come and go. In particular, former Nazi henchmen who escaped legal process and ostracism and therefore fled come and go here. For Isabel, work is a means to an end: she watches Otto Bachmann, who had murdered his father before his eyes during the Third Reich. In the first episode, it turns out that she not the only nazi hunter is in town. Together they encounter German society in Spain where the Third Reich continues to exist.
The Prime Series “Hunters” or “Inglourious Basterds” by Quentin Tarantino did: the story of revenge against the National Socialist assassins is full of double-edged swords, dramaturgy driven by a believable desire for revenge, and historical touchpoints. "Jaguar" tries to balance, wants to offer a relaxed action and at the same time treat the historical heritage with respect.
The names of the protagonists are fictitious, their stories are real. The flashbacks tell like Isabel surviving Mauthausen could. Her comrades, with whom she tracks down the Nazis, are also survivors of the concentration camps. This is where the series has its highlights, those where the impossibility of coming to terms with the past is addressed. “Jaguar” reveals its greatest weaknesses where it feels like the National Socialist death machine has become commonplace fodder for a commercial story machine.
