The show was previously available on Netflix for streaming but was removed in December of last year. The show has returned once again. And we are here to tell you whether or not you should invest your time in it and what the series is about. So let's find out.
The miniseries focuses on the history of the country of Cuba, the country that faced invasion from foreigners, and the struggle of freedom fighters to achieve freedom in the context of the Cold War. The documentary was created by interviewing many Cuban experts and witnesses of the time. They were supporters or opponents of Fidel Castro and Fulgencio Batista.
The documentary series can be enjoyed exclusively on Netflix from now on. The mini-series was made available on April 22, 2022. However, the show originally hit the streaming platform in December 2016. But it was removed thereafter last year. It has been released again this year and will be available to stream on the service.
The Cuba Libre story has an IMDb rating of 7.6. The show forms a good watch for those interested in political and historical genres. The show focuses closely on the thunderous history of Cuba and gives a comprehensive view of the events that have transpired since then.
But somehow, the narrative sometimes seems to be portrayed from the perspective of one side. This makes it go downhill from there. But viewers have had a lot of mixed reviews for the series. Many fully praised the documentary's overall narrative; while others simply blamed it for being a one-sided story. Whatever the case may be, this limited series definitely brings a glimpse of the country to those who haven't been privy to its historical events and struggles and nails to do so.
The limited series has a total of eight episodes to its credit. The duration of each episode is approximately 52 minutes. The subtitles for it will also be available in multiple languages.
