As a summer series in the wake of World Cup fever, perhaps Matador's biggest success it having arrived at the right time.

The show is weighed down by clunky dialogue and a lead who was not particularly dazzling in the initial episode sent out to critics. Luna's Bravo lacks that James Bond je ne sais quoi, even if he's a reluctant participant in his own plot.

The show is a compendium of high-octane clichs, just clever enough that you can't call it stupid and just stupid enough that you can't call it clever. That's a sweet spot, maybe.
