American Gigolo, the series, is a concoction of things, but the recipe is well calibrated and the drink tastes rich. It is a bit sad that it arrives in Spain invisible within the colorful initial catalog of SkyShowtime.

The eroticism and suspense of the new series will soon show us that they are not those of then. American Gigolo is a sequel to which one approaches with the knife in the teeth, expecting an absurd nostalgic slapstick. And it is reinterpretation and nostalgia, but not one that takes the viewer to a foolishly idealized past.
