This series is not yet available with us on Netflix but already in Central and South America, the US and Canada under the title "Four seasons in Havana". The very first, and hopefully not the last, series from Cuban Netflix Originals! Based on Leonardo Padura's crime novels, this series of separate stories is set in and around Havana, the capital of Cuba, where the series was also filmed. This gives the whole a really special atmosphere and with a protagonist, an idiosyncratic police inspector who sometimes likes more than one drink, it tends to be a Cuban version of Philip Marlowe with the difference that Mario Conde works for the police. So Cuban "film noir" in which the temperature occasionally rises both literally and figuratively. Despite his troubles with booze and other devils, Conde is Havana's best inspector, and solving difficult or delicate crimes is invariably entrusted to him. All in all, a series that is worth taking the time to do and which hopefully can get a sequel as some more books were written by Padura in the same series about Mario Conde. he ventured to include themes in his books, such as homosexuality, which before were simply unmentionable, but also the fact that he did not shy away from portraying someone from the higher circles of the Cuban regime as the perpetrator or co-perpetrator of a crime was unseen. The figure of Mario Conde is seen as a representative of a disappointed and nostalgic generation, which - without considering itself as an opponent of the regime - sees little future prospects. His experiences were therefore primarily a reason for the writer to describe Cuban society extensively and critically. For those who, upon seeing the first images, might wonder what the purpose of the military vehicle is that blows thick smoke in the streets of Havana; This is done to combat mosquitoes that can carry malaria, the dengue virus or dengue fever and more recently the Zika virus, after an initial infection with that virus has already taken place in Cuba.
