Synopsis
Cocaine Coast (Fariña, 2018) is a Spanish crime drama series you can watch online on iFILM — set in Galicia in the 1980s, when the fishing economy collapsed and a generation of broke shipowners found a more reliable trade.
A young man starts by running cigarettes across the border; by the time South American cocaine cartels come looking for quiet Atlantic coves, he is already in position. Javier Rey plays the lead without a hint of glamour — flat calculation, no swagger — and the show keeps the same register throughout. Tristán Ulloa and Carlos Blanco fill out the supporting cast.
The series adapts journalist Nacho Carretero's true-crime book Fariña — Galician for flour, which was slang for cocaine — briefly pulled from shelves by court order after a real drug boss sued the author. That fact stays with you while you watch. Stream Cocaine Coast online on iFILM.
