Two recent discoveries on Netflix

Image
Today, I want to share with you my impressions of the two brand new Netflix series (the more things I have to do, the better I organise myself and I have time even for series, it’s impressive, such a paradox). Anyway, the first series that I discovered and I am impressed by is “Tiny Pretty Things” .  It’s an American drama streaming television series (thank you, Wikipedia, for this comprehensive description, again) based on the book (which I didn’t know before watching). It premiered on Netflix on December 14 last year, so it is actually new. The series tells the story of group of young people, students of the prestigious Archer School of Ballet in Chicago . It all starts with an accident: a top student and the future of ballet, Cassie Shore, is pushed off the building by a hooded attacker during a party. But she survives. A new student is admitted to the school in her place, Neveah Stroyer (the main character of the whole series), and becomes a spark of rebellion and, at the ...

The greatest crime drama ever

I just love suspenseful content: plot, chapter in a book, action in a series. The latter is strongly present in the American legal thriller television series “How to Get Away with Murder” . 6 seasons, 90 episodes of mystery, strong emotions and holding my breath. But let’s start from the beginning.  I started watching this series a long time ago. I have always been drawn to crime stories, whether in book, film or series form. That’s why I liked this one from the start. A story about a invincible law professor who selects five the most ambitious and promising students to help her in conducting court cases... and suddenly and unintentionally they are themselves entangled in a crime. Can we imagine a better story for a thriller and legal drama? https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/english/2020/jan/09/how-to-get-away-with-murder-to-end-on-may-14-2087239.html https://www.abajournal.com/news/article/how_to_get_away_with_murder_takes_a_somewhat_realistic_look_at_law_schoo The le...

Series review: "Las chicas del cable"

It’s time for the first review of the series. Moreover, it is one of my favourite series in general. “Las chicas del cable” (eng. “Cable Girls” ) “is a Spanish period drama web television series that ran from April 2017 and concluded in July 2020 produced by Netflix” (first Spanish original produced by Netflix). Set in the late 1920s, more specifically, in 1928, the series is filmed in Madrid, the capital of Spain, in various locations.  You can tell a lot about this series. There is not only a captivating storyline, but also an interesting presentation of history, especially a little section of the fight for women’s rights in Spain. There is also no shortage of a beautiful love story, dynamic action and friendship that can survive anything. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_Girls The series tells about the lives of four young women who work in a modern telecommunications company as title cable girls. This job provides them a little bit of independence and decent pay. The series...
