Netflix does not play when it comes to delivering top-notch Spanish crime thrillers. The streaming titan has offered a deep dive into the Spanish crime scene with blockbusters like Money Heist, gems like Gangs of Galicia, The Longest Night, Hache, and more, stunning viewers with its cinematic flair and fresh perspectives. Amongst its starry expanse of narratives, from easy comedies and heart-stopping thrillers, a new title, Two Graves, stands tall with its uniquely gripping, emotionally intense atmosphere. It draws viewers into a labyrinth of loss, a quicksand of deceptions, and unbridled revenge, rendering it a must-watch crime thriller. 

Two Graves promises thematically charged moments with the highest quality storytelling that lingers long after the credits roll. Here are three reasons why this limited series needs to be on everyone’s watchlists immediately.

1. Unique protagonist

Two Graves presents Isabel, the protagonist in this thrilling drama, played by veteran Spanish performer Kiti Mánver. Not the stereotypical young action hero, Isabel is a powerful grandmother battling despair and fueled by seething rage as her 16-year-old granddaughter Verónica and her friend disappear and the police fail to take action. Isabel, an unflinching, fearless grandmother, seizes control of her own justice beyond society’s expectations to start an unsanctioned investigation to uncover the truth.   

In a story equally heartbreaking and electrifying, Two Graves fuses deeply emotional and violent scenes with a character-driven plot that seldom appears in the limelight today. Isabel is not just a regular grandmother seeking revenge; she is the heart of this unique fiction, who drives the plot to a new level.

Rife with gritty, bloody, and tear-jerking moments, the story borders on the territory of slow-burning mystery and revenge thriller.

2. A suspenseful thriller that packs a hard punch

As Isabel refuses to believe that justice is served in two years after her granddaughter goes missing, her own investigation becomes a savage quest for vengeance. The trailer provides eerie flashes: bones cracking, flesh being crushed by a car, and a grandmother who will stop at nothing to seek answers. In the trailer, she smashes knees with a hammer, confronts the villains all on her own, Rafael (Álvaro Morte), the father of the other missing girl, vowing, “I owe my daughter this revenge.” 

Created by Agustín Martínez and written by Jorge Díaz and Antonio Mercero, the mini-series is as unflinching and relentless as it is the most visceral. With only three episodes arriving on Netflix on August 29, 2025, Two Graves posits a thriller full of unexpected twists and turns, a rare protagonist, and an impeccably stellar cast, promising high-quality acting and a jarring unfolding of the gruesome mystery, above and beyond the law.

3. Two Graves serves a standout cast

Two Graves captivates viewers not only with its fascinating heroine but also with an excellent cast. With the authorities having closed the case for lack of leads, Isabel, played by Kiti Mánver, opens her own case in a desperate search that turns into a deadly vendetta for revenge. The show celebrates the globally renowned Professor from Money Heist, Álvaro Morte, as Rafael, the tormented father of the other missing girl. With him comes Hovik Keuchkerian, famed for his portrayal of Bogotá in Money Heist, which is one of the most-viewed Spanish series on Netflix. Nadia Vilaplana, Joan Solé, Zoe Arnao, Nonna Cardoner, Carlos Scholz, and Salva Reina round out its brilliant cast.

Two Graves is a masterwork of concise, emotionally resonant storytelling, with its fierce matriarch, powerhouse performances, and heart-thumping construction. Among Netflix’s diverse crime thriller collection, the show is a quick, binge-worthy deep dive into grief, justice, and how far one can go when everything else falls apart.
