A powerful new Spanish drama has quietly landed on Disney+ in the UK – and with a 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes is already being hailed as one of the best recent series of its kind.<\/p>\n
I, Addict was originally aired in Spain to critical acclaim, starring Oriol Pla in a career-defining performance as M\u00e0rius, a man struggling with drug addiction whose path to recovery is as emotionally raw as it is deeply human.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What sets I, Addict apart is its refusal to simplify or moralise the experience of addiction. As one viewer wrote in a Google review: \u201cAddicts are rarely portrayed as what they truly are: human beings. It’s tough but very beautiful and handled with great affection.\u201d<\/p>\n
The series explores not only substance dependence, but the complex emotional terrain surrounding it \u2013 trauma, guilt, shame, forgiveness, and the day-to-day struggle of learning to live again.<\/p>\n
The relationship between M\u00e0rius and his therapist, played by Nora Navas, becomes the emotional core of the series. Together, they embark on a journey that moves far beyond recovery and into the realms of identity, belonging, and self-respect.<\/p>\n
Pla\u2019s performance has been universally praised, with one fan review stating: \u201cOriol Pla’s performance is sublime… How he manages to make you go from detesting the protagonist to completely empathising with his reality\u2026 making you laugh, cry, feel his existence beyond addictions\u2026 A must-see series.\u201d<\/p>\n
The show also dives into the social and familial environments that shape M\u00e0rius\u2019 world \u2013 from strained relationships to a society not always equipped to offer support.<\/p>\n
Another viewer noted: \u201cA very well-interpreted social reality\u2026 The family, social, and work environment is portrayed in a faithful and contemporary way.\u201d<\/p>\n
“It stirs things up,\u201d\u00a0one reviewer wrote.\u00a0\u201cFeelings and experiences, both our own and those of others, that we’ve gone through.\u201d<\/p>\n
With a gripping narrative, emotional depth, and stellar performances,\u00a0I, Addict\u00a0has quickly become a standout among international dramas, featuring universal themes of pain, healing, and the messy, nonlinear road to self-acceptance.<\/p>\n
I, Addict is now available to stream on\u00a0Disney+.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A powerful new Spanish drama has quietly landed on Disney+ in the UK – and with a 100%…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":203215,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3937],"tags":[81918,11458,11161,77,15748,81919,81920,11727,382,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-203214","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-addict","9":"tag-disney-plus","10":"tag-drug-addiction","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-i","13":"tag-oriol-pla","14":"tag-spanish-drama","15":"tag-television","16":"tag-tv","17":"tag-uk","18":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114722875884607402","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/203214","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=203214"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/203214\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/203215"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=203214"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=203214"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=203214"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
