Reviews

Critically, Taller mecánico received a mixed reception. On IMDb, it holds a modest rating of 5.1/10 based on user reviews, indicating a lukewarm audience response. Viewers appreciated the show's attempt to capture the everyday life of working-class Spain and praised Antonio Ozores's comedic timing and the relatable character interactions. However, several critics and viewers alike pointed out that the series sometimes struggled with pacing and a somewhat predictable narrative structure. A review from a niche Spanish television blog noted, "While Taller mecánico admirably aims to shed light on the working-class experience with warmth and humor, its episodic plots occasionally feel formulaic." Currently, the show lacks aggregated ratings on major review platforms like Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic, suggesting it remains a relatively obscure title with limited critical analysis. Overall, while it has a nostalgic appeal for fans of early '90s Spanish TV and Antonio Ozores’s work, Taller mecánico did not achieve widespread acclaim during its original run.
