Acting
Carreras simmers with trapped desperation
Production
The salting warehouse is basically a character
Writing
Font's script stinks of fish and fascism
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The title 'Salaó' means both 'salted fish' and 'wily/cunning' in Catalan — Font knew exactly what he was doing.
Only two episodes because TV3's budget in 2013 was basically lint and dreams; the brevity accidentally perfects the suffocation.
