- On September 21, 2013, Rosario Porto and Alfonso Basterra reported the disappearance of their daughter Asunta, whose body is found hours later next to a road outside Santiago de Compostela. The police investigation soon reveals evidence that points to Rosario and Alfonso as possible perpetrators of the crime. The news shakes the city and even the country, leading people to question what could lead two parents to end their daughter's life? The Spanish Netflix limited series The Asunta Case is based on true events, but does this create a compelling watch? Thanks for checking out my The Asunta Case (2024) Netflix Series Review!

One of the elements changed is the judge. Many people lawyers and professionals of law commented the judge is very professional and honest person. In the series was presented as the “bad guy”.
I propose that the probability is high that that there were multiple motives. Nothing is seldom linear, a single reason. Probable that wife did it to cut "ties" with the husband, no longer wanted to be tied down to mothering, and so that she could invest in her lover. And the husband for the tragedy that would benefit him in seeing his wife suffer as revenge for adultery, and trauma that would simultaneously bind them for life. People are complicated, manipulative, and self indulging.Preservation of self, desires, and being right/winning.
The most common theory is that the Father is a pedo who "prefers young asian girls" according to some of their close friends.
Chris has introduced me to loads of TV I simply would never have bothered watching my self and he rarely steers me wrong
Why was the judge leading the case? He is no detective or police officer. He should never have the right to be the judge, he blamed the parents from the beginning without any evidence! And tryed to do anything to find dirt on them. Feels personal.
He is the investigating judge. He is called juez instructor. Although it is a bit fictional here as it does not work the same way in real life.
Agreed that was weird! Blamed the parents from day 1, it was for sure verry personal
It was personal. Remember when someone noted something about Alfonso and the judge have some sort of history
Exactly! In the beginning, I thought they translated wrong, and then I was like wtf! Such a judgment system Spain has. I did not know that. The attorney can not even talk and defend his client. And what about those jails?
@@Rosalieburke I would have liked to have seen more or understood better the Judge's motivation for such intense bias and why others were so passively accepting of it. I suppose the writers simply did not know why he operated in the way he did.
I found this series extremely well acted, I wanted more detail to be shown to us. I found the actress who played the mother , played her role so well , never heard abt.this case .
The Asian porn on the laptop was not explained well enough for anyone to understand the extremities of it.. Was she the child being exploited sexually by her father? , and when the mother found out , she rather kill her child ,because she was mentally Ill herself , so the father covers it up by helping the mother cover it up cause he’s guilty himself . The acting never really shows any kind of emotion from them towards their child .However, It’s unlikely that 2 individuals of that intelligence would turn to be cold blooded murderers .. My skepticism makes me believe there was alot more to this story than met the eye . This is where I would of loved to see more detailed facts .. I just don’t understand 2 people would commit murder, especially to their adoptive child ., it just doesn’t add up for me , except the mother was completely crazy and the father a complete sexual lunatic and together they just destroyed eachother including the kid ..
i feel as if the mother did not want to be binded to her husband anymore and ausunta was that bind and she regret it and the dad being so in love maybe … jus helped his wife idek. she coulda be lying to shift it toward her husband
I read up a little about this case and it seems like there was in fact Asian porn on Basterra's laptop but also lots of different types of porn. So the laptop may not be relevant at all.
Right? Any person of some intelligence would know that a dead body would be tested for what’s in their system. The lorazepam and the buying of it just seems so obvious only a Moron would overlook. They don’t see dumb.
😂 You are the man ! 😂 I wanted a quick intro before I start watching this
The landscapers. Knew the family. Knew the layout of the house. If only restroom worked, they would know and feel comfortable enough to use it. They also knew this was not a full time residency. I didn't see any investigation on the landscapers. 🤔
I also felt there were parts of the investigation missing. What about the neighbour, a friend of the family, who was so sure he would have noticed the body by the road in pitch black darkness. Or the traces of semen from the Madrid guy - the technicians from the lab said repeatedly that if there had been a contamination at the lab, the sample would be on more than two segments of the top. The guy had an alibi of course but how did the so called contamination occurr then?
Last but not least, was Charo's lover ever investigated properly?
Fascinating case, I just watched it. I would just like to point out that the man Rosario had an affair with, kept a very low profile and walked away without anyone noticing him. And nobody ever identified the intruder in their flat. Just putting that out there.
This process was weird. Obviously our legal system is different from Bears because I don’t see how they convicted them beyond a reasonable doubt
Neither do I because there was no concrete evidence proving their guilt.
Like the landscapers.
International adoptees are often 6ually abused and narcissistic behaviour is not uncommon in adoptive parents.
Do you have any references to support this? Keep in mind, people all over the world adopt children, not just Spain.
@@jAITtROtULL The topic of adoptive parents is one on which I write. I have never encountered any evidence of narcissism beyond what is in the population at large.
Might have been an editing issue of the juror.
Chris, I LOVE your reviews but true crime - just depresses me so I have not heard of this crime and probably don't want to watch it (:
However, Chris, review Xmen 97 when it's done. It's FANTASTIC. A karate chop to Marvel's struggling lineup lately.
Me too
I will watch it this coming weekend
How’d you like it?
The mother & father were pissing me off sooooo bad ugh
There is a documentary about the case also in Netflix
That’s literally what this video is about 😂
@@rebekahnoel79 No it's not. This video is about the series on Netflix, not the documentary.
@rebekahnoel79- The Netflix Series on The Asunta Case clearly states that characters and scenes had been dramatized and storylines were altered so why would you call it a documentary? It has actors, documentaries don’t have actors.
@@jAITtROtULL there are two different shows: the series and the documentary.
Must not be available in my country.
Interesting to watch. But the Spanish legal system here seems so different from other countries. Here the judge is the investigator, the police, the prosecutor and the person who delivers decision. So strange. The mother was such a complicated weak character. The father was weird like hiding something. Everyone acted very well. Especially the judge. He reminded me so much of that American actor Michael Keaton.
I appreciate that insight! The legal system was intriguing and very different, but still also very much the same when it comes to bias and potential corruption. The US is chock-full of that!
Cool
There is a case like this or worse happening everyday in India
India is a hell hole. Be safe
Goodbye earth review?
It makes no sense why the parents were blamed so easily but the other guy who was arrested was easily let go. Near the end, I think the parents were innocent but all the biased people found them guilty.
No innocent parent drugs a child during 3 months and feeds her 27 pills.
Also, if someone kills your child and you are innocent, you say and do anything you can to catch the real killer, not stay silent like he did, and still does
What I don't understand is how they could be charged with murder instead of manslaughter. It just seems much more likely to me that either one of the parents snapped and smothered the - for whatever sinister reason already drugged - child, or that there was abuse going on with the orange wires and she wasn't supposed to asfixiate..
Because it just makes no sense why they would commit cold blooded murder and risk life in prison if they had the funds to just send her off to boarding school. Both parents seem emotionally unstable but capable of logical reasoning.
The parents were innocent? 😂
Well if you actually look at evidence vs your belief then it's easy to make the deduction. The other guy can't be in two far away places at once and lab showed how they could cross contaminate. He was not drugging the child for 3 months either.
I believe the parents were innocent.
Can't say for 100 % they were guilty but they have a lot of evidence leading to why they could be guilty
@@shanesexton8359 I was stumped at the finding of semen from the Columbian guy, but after watching the rest of the movie, I know the story has changed for the movie. However the evidence is starting to look like the parents were guilty.
Me too or at least there was no enough evidence. It scares me, how they got declared guilty that easily
Maybe they weren't the ones who killed her but they were hiding something else that they felt could ruin their reputation. Something very dark related to the Lorazepam..
