We all Have a Dark Side “Night and Day, TV3’s revelatory series for this season, is very good. It is one of the channel’s best in-house productions, if not the best. Particularly because it aims to offer something that goes beyond what we have seen to date. In terms of script, acting, directing, setting and lighting, Night and Day has shown that the bar can be, and has been, raised for future productions.” Mónica Planas.

All of the characters have their light and dark sides: a judge trapped between a stale marriage and ambition; a psychiatrist traumatized by a previous event; unscrupulous executives and politicians; and hard-core delinquents. Events from the past that come back to haunt, more pow- erfully than ever, and a psychopath who plays the role of angel by day, and devil by night. “The puzzle that Night and Day lays out, addresses the dark side of the human condition. That is what makes it a grand series, demanding more of the viewers and perfectly capable of meeting their raised expectations.” Joan Burdeus. Núvol-Diari digital de cultura.01/03/2016 SYNOPSES- FIRST SEASON

“Night and Day” is a realistic thriller centered around medical examiners, police, judges… people whose day to day work brings them in constant contact with the darkest side of reality.

The story begins when Sara Grau (Clara Segura), a forensic pathologist happily married to a high-level corporate executive, is performing an autopsy on an unidentified body, and thinks she recognizes him as someone with whom she had shared a brief affair in the past. This discovery turns her life upside down, revealing a hidden truth lying beneath a veneer of apparent stability.

From that point on, Sara finds herself trying to juggle between determining the cause of death in a string of murders, and maintaining a stable and normal life that includes the deci- sion of whether or not to have a child with her husband.

But Sara is not the only one walking the fine line between life and death. Other characters in the series’ first season are also battling their own devils: Judge Casas and Sara’s husband whose ambitions have driven them to unexpected limits, and the judge’s wife who tries, to no avail, to gain control of her frustrated life.

Shot on location in , especially in the Ciutat de la Justícia legal complex, “Night and Day” is also a portrait of this city, with all of its lights and shadows. Very like Sara Grau. “...the series promises to keep us glued to the couch and leave us, if not biting our fingernails, surely without any excuse to not stick with it.” Fernando de Felipe.

MAIN CHARACTERS SARA GRAU – Clara Segura

Medical examiner. Rational, intelligent, with a scientific mind. She tries to keep work from affecting her emotionally, but doesn’t always succeed. She has a dark side which at times slips out of her control. Married to Lluís Forés, an apparently exemplary husband. She finds herself personally involved in a legal case about a serial killer in Barcelona.

In the second season, following the traumatic breakup of her marriage, Sara manages to rebuild her life, together with her work colleague, Aitor Otxoa.

After his and Sara’s divorce and the sale of the house they shared, Lluís Forès regrets that there is nothing that can tie them together again. AITOR OTXOA Miquel Fernández
