Netflix fans are binging this ‘heartbreaking and heartwarming’ thriller after it arrived in full on the streaming service.
Two Graves is a Spanish series created by Agustín Martínez that is set in the aftermath of two teens, Verónica Marín (Nadia Vilaplana) and Marta Salazar (Zoe Arnao), disappearing.
When the investigation is deemed closed due to a lack of evidence, Verónica’s grandmother, Isabel (Kiti Mánver), takes matters into her own hands in a bid to track down the 16-year-olds.
An official synopsis reads: ‘When the disappearance of two teen girls shocks a quiet coastal town, a bereft grandmother risks everything to uncover the truth and seek revenge.’
It currently sits at number six in the UK top 10 most-watched series right now after arriving on Netflix yesterday.

Two Graves has received rave reviews from critics, with MundoCine writing: ‘What begins as a crime series with an unexpected lead –a grandmother played by Kiti Mánver in full “I will kill for my niece” mode– (…) soon morphs into a revenge tale (…) riddled with plot holes, implausible moments and twists.’
LeisureByte.com said: ‘Two Graves is an enjoyable series if you don’t look too deep, but the lack of logic sometimes can get a bit baffling.’
Heaven of Horror added: ‘If there’s one thing stories of revenge are usually good for, it’s delivering heartfelt storylines, which in turn means performances that can be both heartbreaking and heartwarming.
‘While it may not seem like it at first, Two Graves does manage to deliver both.’
Digital Mafia Talkies, however, wondered why the series had been presented in three parts when it could have been released as a feature film.
‘I think the most underreported or underobserved phenomenon in the post-Covid-19 entertainment landscape is the act of allegedly releasing movies as miniseries,’ they said.
‘I have tried to figure out why storytellers do this, and I have always drawn a blank.’
On IMDB, the miniseries has a 6.2/10 rating, with sharicita writing: ‘Quick binge with only three episodes. Nothing revolutionary but I’m trash for a Spanish crime drama so I ate this show up with a spoon anyway.
‘There are some surprises in there but I saw the very last scene coming about a mile away. But the setting and pacing were great, the show doesn’t waste much time on filler which was nice.’
Two Graves is streaming now on Netflix.
