Edward Gibbon wrote: “The history of empires is that of the misery of men. The history of science is that of its greatness and fortune. So the final sequence of Christ and King brings together Gibbon’s two passions (when Belén Cuesta and Cristóbal Suárez meet in secret, as the two characters they play have been doing for years).

I believe it was in 2001 when Aquí hay tomate announced during the after-dinner hours that there would be exclusivity about who Bábara Rey has been dating for years. The gossip predated the black thread, but it had never been said on TV. The program was limited to concatenating the words “Bárbara” and “Rey” to confirm what we already knew. And today there are already many documentaries, series, podcasts, articles and recordings by Villarejo, showing what everyone has commented. This is the story of our misery, that of a Vedette who betrays the entire secret service and thus an entire country because their head of state doesn’t know how to shut up or be blown. And now that it’s all so public it seems it doesn’t matter, it’s time to share how big and happy a love triangle was that I, as a viewer, can’t remember being big or lucky to have been being.
I remember, like you, shabby, dirty, grotesque. I don’t know if there is even an iota of truth in the Christ and King series. For now, it’s just a soap opera coming out. What I do know is that it’s fiction, and if it exists, it’s because the protagonists of our recent history are beginning to be more ghost than truth. And what the ghosts are is nothing more than the distorted memory of something we can never touch.
