Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area (2022)
Korean actors make a difference (for good)
Copy & paste of the original but with interpretations 1,000,000 times better than it. I had a hard time watching the Spanish one, even though I really liked the script, because I was bored of not understanding most of the actors, because of their horrible vocalization and lack of credibility (I'm Spanish), and I saw the Korean one straight away.
The Nest (2020)
I NEED PREQUELS!
Entertaining, but the fact that most of the characters have such special circumstances makes it less believable and makes me lose focus on the main story and creates the need for several prequels that would surely be more interesting to me:
- EMILY, prequel title: The princess. A typical person with a vocation for the center of the world. Once something happened to her and, consequently, life owes her the fact that everything is as she wishes. I hated the character for being a 'posturing person' and the actress left me cold.
- DAN, prequel title: The criminal. I can understand what he did in his past, but boy, ending up in the brick sector, I am not going to comment much more ... The evolution and logic of the character seems quite credible and I liked the actor.
- KAYA, prequel title: Opportunity and improvement: poor kid, bad life from the beginning, with a mother more than despicable. A survivor. Logical evolution of a strong character. Convincing work of the actress.
Even more could be added, since the secondary characters are also endowed with history: Dan's sister and nephew, Kaya's mother (excellent character for excellent actress, perhaps the best of the series) and Kaya's social worker ...
In summary, the surrogacy theme and the power play that this can bring is well developed, but the only thing in the series that I consider pure gold is when it shows us how you could let yourself go through life if you let others decide for you.
Run (2020)
WAST OF TIME LEVEL 1,000,000!!!!
First half of third chapter, and I can't continue watching it, it's so booooooooring and I have no interest in knowing what'll happen to the main characters (they are absolutely petulant and hateful): death by meteorit, self-boredom extinction, ..., anyway, I'm gonna stop right now, it's a pity because I'm really wanted to know more about Merrit's acting abilities, but I'll try it in future occasions...
Exit (2019)
Poor rich boy (or not) ...
If the objective is that from minute one, I want 95% of the characters to die among atrocious sufferings, I must say that: objective accomplished.
Other than that, the series is fine, it's entertaining, but somewhat repetitive and empty (like that kind of person, I guess). The cast defends those 'bugs' well, the storyline could have been somewhat stronger, but hey, with such human monsters their life explains itself.
If it is really based on conversations with real people, deep down I pity them, being so miserable, hidden under a super facade, I don't know ...
YG Future Strategy Office (2018)
FANTASTIC BABY!!!!
Hilarious!!! Very very funny, in a rare way, with self-criticism, great sense of humor and many winks to the special fame that Seungri brings. All the actors are great, including Seungri himself, which I think is very good comedian, is a great loss that has been removed from the entertainment industry.
Highly recommended, especially if you have any knowledge about the Kpop or hallyu industry in general. With the collaboration of Daesung from Big Bang, iKon, Blackpink, Winner ...
Back to Life (2019)
A bit of human warmth
Good plot, good characters and very good actors. Thanks for giving me hope.
Hereditary (2018)
Very promising, but no ...
The movie does not start badly, it is entertaining and a good story is expected. Then, in my opinion, it is diluting itself to justify the lousy and laughable end to which we are doomed, making me wish that all the characters (for being so bored) die painfully and quickly so that it ends already and to go home.
Derry Girls (2018)
Worse than bad!!! Seriously, very very bad
Full of all stereotypes and cheap jokes. Boring and predictable. Most of the characters speak with strange voices and some of them gesticulate as if they suffered nervous spasms. It's been years since I've seen anything so uncouth and of such low quality. A waste of time
Le chalet (2017)
Very French (female characters tend to bend to the wishes of men)
Rocambolesca although quite predictable. It is entertained, the interpretations are good and the village, the landscape, is beautiful although, unfortunately, it does not become a character as in the Nordic noir. The writers have fit all the pieces of the script well and they have given us some well-built characters that, in general, are not pleasant, in both periods (at least to me). Highly recommended.
Arvingerne (2014)
Very human and unforgettable characters
Good story, good script, magnificent interpretations. Entertaining, comical, dramatic, it has everything, it's a great series. The naturalness of the interpretations, the realism and the lack of pretensions are magnificent. At the time I missed it because here, in Spain, has not been just publicized as other more famous series (some of them very overrated and boring). I need a fourth season! Please, please, please
Game of Thrones (2011)
Goodbye, overrated creation!
Repetitive, boring, more appearance than content (like most of HBO's hits, it's more a video clip than something with sense), extraordinarily overrated. Booooooooring
Andið eðlilega (2018)
The beauty of pure solidarity
The film correctly shows us the issue of immigration, including the despicable people who take advantage of the circumstances. It focuses on the vicissitudes of an African woman who will soon be deported from Iceland to her native Guinea-Bissau, where she fled for feeling her life threatened. In spite of all this, she sympathizes with an Icelandic mother and her son, to whom life is not going very well either, and shares what little she has with them. Emotive and beautiful film, which keeps the spirit warm. Highly recommended!!
Westworld (2016)
Infinitely empty and pretentious
The first season is not bad but the second is maximum posturing, so many unexpected twists of script that make it capriciously cheating, narcissistic, distant and empty. The only thing that is not bad is the cast. A pretentious waste of time, if there is a third season I will not see it!!
