Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Fans of Spanish TV shows, this post is for you.
- The defendant (Presunto culpable)
- in recent years, Ion Aristegae has been living and working in Paris. News of his father's sudden death took him by surprise, and he went to the city of his childhood for the funeral of his deceased parent. However, not all the townspeople, and family members, are happy to see the prodigal son return.
The fact is that six years ago there was a terrible tragedy. After a solemn dinner party, under mysterious circumstances, the bride Jonah, Anne, disappeared without a trace. That fateful night, John himself suffered. He was hit hard on the head and he still has no idea what happened to Anne. Despite this, the girls' families and loved ones firmly believe to this day - John killed their daughter and "came out of the water dry", covered with amnesia.
Therefore, Yon understands that returning to his native penises does not bode well for him, but this time he is determined to stay and find out what happened that night.
Ooh, I love Spaniards. For their perseverance, for their insurmountable desire to remove a good psychological thriller. The accused is another attempt. Alas, and this time nothing "thriller" has turned out).
And it turned out to be a long, tangled movie, "tearing" impressionable persons "in the shreds", where all the canons of the "Spanish series" are observed without flaws: A huge number of about-subject lines; "roundabout" of incomprehensible characters and everything is under suspicion, even children; endless, hot, temperamental dialogues on the verge of hysteria and nervous breakdown; completely unexpected "zigzags of fate" from the category "suddenly from nowhere....from nowhere and it has come"; the mandatory secrets-skeletons-interrigue-codes; crazy love, cunning, treachery, broken hearts and broken hearts....an unpredictable ending.
While watching the series, I did not leave the cowardly thought that this story is desperately similar to another. Two influential families have hated each other for many years, and the children, despite everything, fell in love and almost got married. This a-la "sad tale" of Romeo and Juliet in a modern way with Spanish motifs).
However, we must pay tribute to the Spaniards, no matter how much the writers wrapped up the story, they still managed to bring to a reasonable end all the story lines to a reasonable end, more or less clearly explain the illogical motivations and actions of the characters, unravel the disappearance of Anne and in the final dazzle us with the main bad thing. What can I say? They do, devils!
I can't even evaluate this creation, because Spanish TV series are only for amateurs. You're either ready to go, watching the song and forgiving the Spaniards all the mistakes, or you can't be lured to watch the show made in Spain with any mats).
Shall we draw a line? The series Accused - a love affair with elements of a detective for rest and relaxation. And not to look, dear readers, I leave to your discretion.

2. The open sea (Alta Mar) - 1940. A transatlantic white steamer departs from the Spanish coast for South America.
The sisters Caroline and Eva are in a hurry to the port to take their seats in the first class cabins, according to the tickets purchased.
But on the way there is an unpleasant incident - under the wheels of their gorgeous car a woman has landed. A stranger, wringing her hands and crying in front of her eyes begs her sisters for help, asks her to secretly escort her aboard the ship, because if she stays in the country and finds her angry groom and kills her all the time.
The angry sisters stuffed the poor girl in a large chest and brought her aboard without a word to anyone.
That evening Eve witnessed a terrible incident - a woman fell overboard from the upper deck of the steamer. Did she fall or was she helped?
Who knew that this nightmare would only be the first link in the chain of mysterious, mysterious and sinister events.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not afraid of this comparison - the beginning of the story is in the spirit of the unique Agatha Christie. A white luxurious steamer, the deck of the first class, blond Caroline and her fiancé (for a moment, the owner of this floating miracle), Eve and the captain's assistant (burning, hot brunette), a strange stranger in the trunk ... everything and shouts that on board just have to find a "corpse in the library", who died "in the clouds").
Netflix tried his best to contain the fierce onslaught of Spanish temperament, giving the series a raid of English restraint and stiffness. Whatever! By the end of the second series of temperament begins to "seep out of all the cracks", not leaving the "primness" of the stone on the stone. And then Christie fades away, and the events in the series begin to develop in the usual manner for the Spaniards - chaotic and illogical. You look and wonder where else the fantasy curve of the writers will lead?
However, closer to the end of the season, even I fell into a siege when the plot acquired a vivid shape of Indian films, and even with the admixture of Mexican soap operas. It's a hell of a mix).
And when I realized that we are waiting for the second (!) season, I was even afraid - in the course of the visit to Buenos Aires will come a ghost ship with a bunch of bodies on board, because "during the journey" will kill everyone. Yes, the Queen of detectives was right - "death comes at the end").
The open sea is an incredibly lovely nonsense. I will definitely watch the second season! I'm curious - who will be killed next and whose relatives will come back unexpectedly from the "other world"?)
