The series has been criticised for having low quality production values, in spite of its budget of around €2 million per episode.[9] Another cause of controversy was that the series was filmed in English and then dubbed into Spanish.[10] Finally, there were irregularities with the credits, with some scriptwriters who were named on the script for the pilot episode do not feature on the show's credits, or have a page on IMDb.[11]
