Mars - Zhan Shen (2004)
Old but gold!
This series is oooold! I mean, I discovered it 15+ years ago maybe? We rewatched it recently with my husband, and I have to say it doesn't matter when it was filmed, limited special effects used, how slow paced it is sometimes etc etc The core stands strong. I am perfectly aware that this is based on a comic book story, however everything starting from the casting, scenography, music(that intro, too!) is spot on. You are in from ep one, you can take something for yourself even from that first 40 minutes. It speaks loud. It's strong. It made me remember all the fire within me. The characters are beautiful, authentic, flawed but trying to better themselves, standing for something, fighting for something. I don't care this is not hyped as many new series nowadays - if you, by any chance, come across Mars, give it a watch. It will leave you touched, reflecting on so many things, still accurate in 2024... It will tell you so much about human nature. And love - the most important force in the universe. I want this on DVD to keep forever, anyone knows where to get one with English sub?
Berlín (2023)
How to ruin a series
Big disappointment! Series about cheating (disgusting how it is normalized!) and poor, childish sex jokes. Berlin's character became flat and shallow, the rest fo the cast is nonexistent. There's barely any heist going on, and even bringing back some old characters does not save this. It is made to be sold to masses, some of the events do not even make sense, the actions and decisions made by the characters are plain stupid, and almost every character here is disgusting and hold sno values. I mean, cmon. I saw those in Money Heist, so I don't understand why this series had to be so shallow. Time pressure? Desire to earn as much money from it as possible? Looks like it and it's sad.
