History YMMV / CocaineCoast

** The real Carmen Avendaño disliked that the show didn't include the petty crime wave caused by drug addicts trying to get money for their dose, which caused society and law enforcement to react first ''against them''. Érguete spent as much time trying to convince people that drug addicts were victims as they did to convince that the smugglers were responsible.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Charlín, Oubiña and Terito are the most singled for praise, along with their actors.

* EarWorm: The chant sung by the Érguete women to shame drug dealers (''La droga, la droga, la [[ClusterFBomb puta]] de la droga...''), a play on the song ''La Cabra'' by ''Los Legionarios''.

** The series doesn't show Lago and Oubiña's honeymoon in Morocco, despite the later role of Moroccan hasshish traders personified by Hassan. It would have been interesting to introduce him then and see Lago try to negotiate a partnership with him, a member of an even more patriarchal culture than her own.

** Something that could have been factored into the Charlín-Bustelo rivalry is that Manuel Baúlo (basis of Bustelo) started transporting tobacco for Charlín but "married up", to the daughter of Manuel Carballo. Carballo who was basically Terito before Terito. Baúlo's brother-in-law was also jailed for drug trafficking in the early 90s and died while incarcerated.

* OvershadowedByControversy: Pretty much seen as "that show which shows corruption within PP and they tried to censor with a FrivolousLawsuit".

** The only reference to Marcial Dorado is the [[DemotedToExtra extra]] "[[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed Doval]]" who leaves the "cooperative" with Terito. Yet the book identifies Dorado as one of the most powerful drug lords, with investments in construction and shipbuilding, a personal friendship with the future president of Galicia, Alberto Núñez Feijóo; and an influence that extended into Asturias and the Basque Country. He didn't go to jail for drug trafficking until 2009. He also [[RagsToRiches grew up poor]] and was the son of ''Terito's maid'', with Terito being rumored to be [[IAmYourFather his real father]].

** Since it is fictional anyway, Paquito's car accident could have been worse and kill one of his coke buddies (the obvious candidate being [[AutoErotica the woman in the front row with him]]). It is weird how the car falls over the opposite side to Paquito and yet he is the only one that has to be hospitalized.

** The RealLife versions of Javi, Leticia, Pilar and Ventura all went into the drug trade on their own and were jailed during TheNineties. "Leticia" (Yolanda Charlín) for [[FreakierThanFiction kidnapping a Turkish man she met at a disco in 1996 and holding him for ransom]].

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: "Wasted" is probably too strong a word, given that the show does a pretty well job at showing Miñanco's rise and the golden age of the drug trade in Galicia. However, there is just so much more material that could be turned into a choral series expanding several seasons, so it's disappointing there is only one.
** A common complain is that the series doesn't go far enough on the political sphere of the events. The show alludes to the dons lobbying to make Fraga remove Rajoy but neither appears as a character. Nor does the vote of no confidence against Albor appear in the series. While de jure unrelated to the smuggling plot, it could easily be rewritten as related.

* AwesomeMusic: When there aren't bagpipes, the show uses classic Spanish '80s Rock songs.

** Avendaño and her husband worry about their younger son becoming addicted like his brother. Unfortunately, he did.
