The new series from the platform, “Coke Clans,” starring Clara Lago and Tamar Novas, promises a tale of forbidden love thwarted by the starkly contrasting interests of the two main characters.

What’s it about?
In “Coke Clans,” Ana, a seasoned lawyer who has honed her skills in one of Madrid’s top law firms, decides to leave her past behind once and for all and settles in Cambados. Her arrival stirs up interest among the small town’s inhabitants. She particularly catches the attention of Daniel, the son of a prominent drug trafficker who has taken over the Padín clan while his father serves his prison sentence.

A Narcos-style Romeo and Juliet
With “Coke Clans,” Netflix offers a “tale of revenge that turns into an impossible love story, inspired by true events“. Ana (Clara Lago) moves to the small Galician town of Cambados. Her arrival does not go unnoticed by anyone, including Daniel (Tamar Novas), the son of a significant drug trafficker and visible head of the Padín clan while his father, the actual leader, remains in jail.
Ana, having gained considerable experience in one of Madrid’s top law firms, decides to start over in Cambados with the intent of settling old scores with her past. Upon her father’s death – seemingly an ordinary man who was shot in the head while taking tourists on a boat trip – she discovers that he had a wealth of secrets.
He had started a family in Cambados and led an entirely different life before meeting Ana’s mother. It quickly becomes apparent that he was a reformed man. However, Ana needs confirmation and wants to know this other family without revealing her identity to them.

Romantic Idealism and Drug Dealing
It doesn’t take long for her path to cross with Daniel’s, who decides to hire her as his lawyer. This is where the “impossible love story” begins and also where the series’ narrative credibility falters. The charming Daniel is portrayed not as a dangerous drug lord like Pablo Escobar but more like a daredevil who taunts the authorities in a game of cat and mouse.
In this context, the romanticization of the character raises questions. However, this isn’t likely to hinder the series’ success on the platform, as has been the case with many other Spanish productions like Entrevías or Consumed by Flames.
“Coke Clans” is now available on Netflix.
