The Other Side is a Spanish horror comedy television series created by Berto Romero.

Plot

Following a suicide attempt, Nacho Nieto, paranormal journalist at a low ebb, acquaints with the ghost of his long deceased mentor, Dr. Estrada, and so, he takes over a poltergeist case in a decrepit apartment in Barcelona haunting a widow and her son with the help of close collaborator Juana. He also comes across his nemesis, Gorka Romero, another pupil of Dr. Estrada.

Release

The series received a pre-screening in the 'Velodrome' section of the 71st [San Sebastián International Film Festival] on 24 September 2023. The first two episodes debuted on Movistar Plus+ on 23 November 2023.

Reception

Raquel Hernández Luján of HobbyConsolas rated the series with 80 points, assessing that in addition to the humour side, it also works in the horror side and the criticism towards a certain brand of journalism appealing to the gullibility of the audience.
Enric Albero of El Cultural wrote that the series "successfully combines jokes, scares and mordacity".
