Instinto (lit. 'Instinct') is a Spanish erotic thriller television series starring Mario Casas. Created by Teresa Fernández-Valdés, Ramón Campos and Gema R. Neira and produced by Bambú Producciones for Movistar+, it was released on 10 May 2019.

Premise

Marco Mur (Mario Casas) is a successful businessman, the CEO of ALVA, a tech company about to launch an innovative prototype of electric car,[1][2] in which he works together with his friend Diego (Jon Arias) and Bárbara (Bruna Cusí). A newcomer, the ambitious Eva (Silvia Alonso), joins the company.[3][4] Marco is however introverted and emotionally blocked.[1] Dependent on his psychologist Sara (Miryam Gallego), Marco's only mental escape routes are sport and a private club where members receive sexual pleasure and give free rein to their erotic fantasies.[3]

Marco has an autistic younger brother, José (Óscar Casas),[n. 1] interned in a specialized center where the only person able to connect with him is Carol (Ingrid García-Jonsson).[4][6]

Cast

Production and release

Produced by Bambú Producciones,[11] the series was created by Ramón Campos, Teresa Fernández-Valdés and Gema R. Neira, whereas Carlos Sedes and Roger Gual directed the episodes.[1]

The series was shot in 2018. A former weapons factory in Guadalajara was repurposed as the premises of ALVA, the lead character's company.[3] The Palacio de Fernán Núñez in Madrid was used to recreate the club.[3][12] Mataelpino, in the Sierra de Guadarrama, was another shooting location.[3]

The series, consisting of 8 episodes with a running time of about 50 min,[13] was released on Movistar+ on 10 May 2019.[14] The supporting performance of Óscar Casas (rather than his older brother's leading performance) received praise in social media.[14]
