METASTASIS
June 8, 2014  | By David Bianculli

Univision, 10:00 p.m. ET

 
SERIES PREMIERE: Now here’s something really interesting. It’s a Spanish-language version of Breaking Bad, a reimagining of the original with an all-new cast but with a marked amount of fidelity to the spirit of the original. Metastatis is being produced with the speed of a telenovela, which means the show’s meth-making protagonist will go from cancer diagnosis to final standoff in about three months of TV time. Instead of Walter White, he’s called Walter Blanco, and is played by Diego Trujillo. Tonight’s premiere is simulcast on Univision, Unimas and Galavision, after which the series begins running weeknights on Unimas. Televisión, perra!
