Gigantes is a Spanish crime drama television series. Created by Miguel Barros, Michel Gaztambide and
Movistar+ based on the original idea by Manuel Gancedo and starring Isak Férriz, Daniel Grao and Carlos Librado, the fiction follows the history of the Guerrero, a family based in Lavapiés controlling an extensive criminal network. The two seasons of the series aired in October 2018 and March 2019, respectively. It has been described as a "story about moral corruption, the dissolution of the family and the extinction of masculinity".[1]
Premise
The fiction follows the Guerrero, a family based in Lavapiés controlling an extensive criminal network,[2] using the furniture trade as cover.[3] The patriarch of the family, the widowed Abraham Guerrero, built a criminal empire in El Rastro.[4] The three sons of Abraham, Daniel, Tomás, and Clemente have received a backward and toxic upbringing, heirs to a crumbling male-dominant world eating itself up.[5] The three brothers struggle for control of the criminal business.[5]
