Wow, this could have been a great series, but unfortunately the network botched the rollout, the ratings crashed, and the series was cut short.
The conflict pits a hard-working police inspector against a very sharp band of thieves. The thieves steal valuables on commission and always seem to be one step ahead of the police. The thieves pull off sophisticated heists, like stealing a Van Gogh or a Faberge egg. They rely solely on their smarts, no guns or violence. Their schemes are clever, to the point that you almost find yourself rooting for them to pull it off.
"Guante blanco" could have been great. Unfortunately, because of low ratings, the network produced only 8 episodes instead of the originally planned 13. As you might imagine, the truncated season results in a very abrupt ending that wraps things up but leaves no one satisfied. At least the first 7 episodes are well done and definitely worth watching.
