The new Spanish-language action series “Sky Rojo” is sheer excess. The plot is simultaneously minimal and over the top: Three prostitutes are on the run, their vengeful pimp is after them. “What do we want to be, hares or foxes?” one of the women asks her friends. The action is nonstop, the ultra-vivid colors jump from the screen, the tonal shifts induce whiplash, and the soundtrack will fry your speakers. The only thing that is restrained about “Sky Rojo,” the first season of which dropped Friday on Netflix, is its running time: Each of the eight episodes clocks in well under 30 minutes.
