Want to watch a tense crime thriller instead of reruns during the New Year's holiday? Netflix has you covered.

On December 13, the same day Netflix presented us with one of the most entertaining movies of the year, it also added 1992, a six-part Spanish original series from filmmaker Alex de la Iglesia (“My Fault,” “30 Coins”).

This gritty new show follows a widow and a ghostly former police officer brought together by death. In just a few days since its release, the series is already on Netflix's top 10 shows list, behind “La Palma,” “Madness,” and “Black Dove,” among others.

Thinking of checking out “1992” yourself? Here's some information about this new Netflix show to help you decide whether to add it to your watch list.

In “1992,” widowed Amparo finds herself at the center of a crisis. After a mysterious explosion claims the life of her husband Alvaro, Amparo (Marian Alvarez) desperately searches for answers and seeks help from alcoholic ex-cop turned security guard Richi (Fernando Valdivierso).

When she stumbles upon her husband's body, Amparo finds a figurine of the Seville Expo mascot, Curro, in the hand of another nearby body ...... This strange discovery links Alvaro's death to a series of gruesome murders targeting Expo workers. Richi has a unique connection to Alvaro, and together with Amparo, they get to the bottom of this evil conspiracy.

In addition to Alvarez and Valdivierso, the cast of “1992” includes Victor Rivas, Carlos Santos, Paz Vega, and many others.

If you are looking to get sucked into a new thriller, “1992” may be the show for you. So far, from what I've seen of this thriller, it's not dramatically different from other shows of its ilk, but I'm curious to see what secrets lie in wait.

I've just watched a couple of episodes, and in my opinion, “1992” is the most disappointing in its direction. In some scenes there are too few cuts, in others there are too many. Too few cuts in one scene, too many cuts in another. I also do not recommend streaming the dubbed version, as the English performers' dialogue is quite faltering.

At the time of this writing, there are not many reviews of “1992” online yet; neither critics nor audiences have given it a score on Rotten Tomatoes yet, but several reviews have not rated it very highly.

Erick Massoto of Collider gave “1992” a 4/10 rating, saying the series “felt like an overstretched episode of ‘Criminal Minds.’”

Similarly, Decider writer Joel Keller described “1992” as a “fairly straightforward thriller” and said that most of what we see in the show “has been seen before” and that whatever twists await us may not be that surprising He stated that whatever twists may be in store, they may not be that surprising.

If you need a dark new Netflix show, “1992” won't be in your top 10 favorites, but it's entertaining enough.
