House of the Dragon: The Heirs of the Dragon (2022)
Give it a try, you won't regret it
I am from the group of people who was reluctant to see the series. But after throwing myself into this first episode, I'm glad I did.
The difference with Game of Thrones is impressively noticeable. Just by the fact that George R. R. Martin is an active part also marks the distinction. I recommend watching the episode in a comfortable room, focusing solely on the plot, the characters, and how George weaves the story together to give it the sense we all love.
La Nieta Elegida (2021)
If I could turn back time, I would and tell myself: DON'T WATCH THIS!
I watched the complete telenovela. I didn't miss a single moment. Which is disappointing. Each chapter, I hoped everything would get better, that the story would make sense or at least, the narrative would be more credible and logical.
It started very intriguing, but as the story progressed, they loosened up on important details, effects, transitions, narrative.
There are amazing performances, though. Incredible staging and an impressive cast. That's why I'm so amazed that they (producers, directors, etc.) couldn't do a good job of storytelling with such good actors.
Consuelo Luzardo made me feel everything, she is not only a great actress but an acting school walking, every single scene of her comes to you, you believe her, she is tremendous. Along with her, Juliette Pardau made (as usual) a wonderful job, Geraldine Zivic, Adriana Arango, Marcela Benjumea is actually my favorite, Stephania Duque, Margalida Castro and Silvia de Dios left me speechless with their interpretations. Likewise, Juan Pablo Gamboa, Carlos Báez, Gregorio Urquijo, Claudio Cataño and Carlos Torres. Because of them I saw the whole story, and made an effort not to think or feel that their talents were being wasted in this production.
