Club of Crows was a Mexican comedy-drama television series created by Gary Alazraki and Michael Lam. The show premiered on August 7, 2015, on Netflix and ran for four seasons until January 25, 2019. It is the first Spanish-language Netflix original series, and it quickly became a fan favorite, especially in Latin America.
The show follows the story of the Iglesias family, who are owners of a successful soccer team called the Cuervos FC. The family is made up of Salvador Iglesias Sr., better known as Chava, his two children, Isabel and Salvador Jr., and his grandson, Hugo. When Chava dies, his children start fighting over the team's ownership, causing a power struggle that sets the tone for the rest of the series.
Isabel is the smart and cunning sister who is desperate to prove herself to her father. Salvador Jr., on the other hand, is the spoiled and incompetent brother who believes he is entitled to everything his father built. The two siblings clash frequently, and their struggle for power only becomes more intense as the show progresses.
One of the most significant aspects of Club of Crows is the way it tackles sports and politics. The show provides a realistic and somewhat cynical view of the world of soccer, exposing all its corruption and dirty tricks. It also portrays how the sport is frequently intertwined with politics, and how both worlds are ruled by greed and power.
Despite its heavy themes, Club of Crows is a comedy at its core, and it is full of hilarious moments. The show features a fantastic cast of characters that includes players, coaches, fans, and politicians, all of whom add a unique level of humor and drama to the series.
One of the standout characters is the Cuervos' star player, Salvador "Chava" Iglesias Jr. He is portrayed by Luis Gerardo M
