Fugitiva is a Spanish drama series originally premiered on RTVE. Now, the series is available worldwide on Netflix. The series depicts the selfless sacrifice of a mother, a victim of domestic abuse, to save her children from her abusive husband, his family, and his business enemies.
A Peek Into The Storyline
Magda is a victim of domestic violence. She is in a toxic relationship with Alejandro, a pretty successful and wealthy businessman with many business enemies. Magda has three children- two twin girls and one boy.
One day, her husband started receiving threat messages, warning calls, threatening videos, and similar things. Even though it was initially ignored to be inept, their son, Ruben luckily survived a bomb blast that was planted on Alejandro’s car.
After the mishap, Magda mustered all confidence and approached her abusive husband, and tried to coax him to shift their residence to a safer location. However, he and his family rejected the suggestion. To get rid of continuous insistence from Magda’s side, her husband threatened to kill her and their children if she dared to speak about changing residence one more time.
Magda, being a caring and selfless mother, wanted to save her children at any cost. She decided not to conform to her husband’s will, but at the same time, couldn’t escape very easily through proper channels. For this, she brilliantly fabricates an abduction of herself and her children, especially since the situations supported it, and escapes to Mexico. What will happen next? Watch and see!
The Cast

Summing It Up
With only nine episodes, Fugitiva earned a tremendous fan following and excellent ratings. The unique storyline depicting a selfless mother faking her own and her children’s abduction to save them from her husband and his business rivals is simply amazing and interesting. Considering the huge success of the show, we cannot totally undermine the possibility of a second season.
