Los hombres de Paco (English: Paco's Men) is a Spanish television series that originally aired from 9 October 2005 to 19 May 2010 on Antena 3. Created by Daniel Écija and Álex Pina, it stars numerous actors; primarily Paco Tous and Pepón Nieto. The fiction primarily focused on a group of clumsy yet good-hearted police agents.

General[]

The fiction focused on a group of police officers in San Antonio, a fictitious neighborhood in Madrid, originally following a trio of clumsy yet good-hearted police agents: Paco, Mariano and Lucas,[2] overseen by Don Lorenzo Castro Riquelme. The "forbidden" love story between Lucas and Sara (Paco's daughter) was another of the main storylines of the series,[3] later turned into a love triangle with the addition of Aitor.[4] Season 6 featured a big jumping the shark moment, by retconning the non-death of Lucas.[5]

The series had seasons six through eight centered on a lesbian relationship between officer María Jose "Pepa" Miranda Ramos and forensic scientist Silvia Castro León. Season 8 ended with a finale, "Todos los planes de Lucas Fernández", that brought the wedding of Pepa and Silvia, which resulted into a blood bath and the tragic death of four main characters (Silvia, Montoya, Nelson and Quique).[6]

In season 9, dubbed as Los hombres de Paco 66.6, the series jumped the shark again, taking a supernatural turn by bringing Silvia back from the dead as a phantasmagorical apparition and pitting the lead characters against Satan.[5][4]
