Who is Erin Carter? While this may not be an Emmy-worthy show, we’re here for the quick pace of the action-filled narrative. The fact that the events take place in Barcelona also helps with our habit of living — as well as traveling — vicariously through screens. When Erin, played by awardwinning Evin Ahmed, hastily leaves the UK with her young daughter, we can tell she’s running from trouble, although we are not sure what kind, exactly. When the pair relocate in Barcelona and start a new life together, things are looking up, particularly when Erin meets and marries Jordi, a nurse. Stability is finally here: Harper loves her stepdad, Erin works as a history teacher in an international school in the city, and all is well…

…Until that one fateful incident: An armed robbery takes place in a supermarket one evening and Erin’s instincts kick in to protect her child. But what we see is far more than a mama bear in action — it is the work of a skilled professional who leaps at danger and gravely injures an armed criminal, who — plot twist — happens to recognize her. Erin’s propensity to confront danger ironically seems to have put her on a new level of jeopardy — one that makes even her own daughter Harper, question who she is.
