'Rapa' (S3) – It's hard to say goodbye…

End. 'Rapa' reaches its inevitable end with a third season that in no way detracts from the previous two, thus forming a brilliant trilogy about crime and punishment, life and death at the level of other great references such as 'Happy Valley'. “The important thing about books is how you finish them. In the middle you can eat a piece of toston, but if the ending is good…”, Tomás comments at one point. This is not at all the case when it comes to “toston”, but it is what most defines this third season, in a very obvious way. Above the double case that structures it and its resolution, as pristine and well tied as usual, anyone who has seen the two previous seasons knows (and fears) what this third one leads us to. It is inevitable, and this joyful sadness thus described by Tomás himself permeates all his chapters. Because, like the aforementioned 'Happy Valley'the important thing in 'Rapa' It is not so much the resolution of the criminal cases that its protagonists face as the lives and relationships that throughout these three seasons have developed and defined these characters. Because, as in life itself, what is important, what is really important, are the people, even though our lives or day-to-day priorities often cloud our judgment. Until we commit certain crimes, turn our backs on our loved ones or start living when death knocks at our door. If this robust “Nordic noir” with a genuinely Spanish aroma that beats intensely beneath its immaculate and ceremonious appearance is loved and respected, it is precisely because of the care towards its characters and their not gratuitous existence, as well as the organic closeness with which he works in the field, developing a native and credible fiction that above all works with fluidity and naturalness in the dramatic and procedural, intertwining one and the other to weave an existence as everyday as it is authentic. And the third season of 'Rapa' It is by no means the exception. But the finishing touch, in a third season that is no less elegant but much more emotional and emotional that notably closes and rounds off a more than remarkable and very complete series that, seen as a whole, shines even more. It's hard to say goodbye, though 'Rapa' It does so in a very satisfactory manner with a final season that in no way detracts from the previous two and, like Tomás himself, is firm and determined in its purpose. Until its end, encouraging so much 'Rapa' like Tomás Hernández to the pantheon of great series and great characters on Spanish television.
