Everything good, until the end..
The end is a punch in the stomach, at the opposite. Suddenly, it ends, with the most predictable end. This series had all to be good in its 8 episodes, but it fails enormously at the end.
The Truth About Franco: Spain's Forgotten Dictatorship (2020)
Is it a mistake of Netflix, or is the last episode (5) equal to the first???
Hellooooooo! What's happening? Such a good serie and suddenly the last episode is the first one???
Anyway, this documentary is exceptionally well done, in terms of description and imagery and also with graphic design supporting the story. I cannot say the same in terms of history, as many time Spain is described as the major country in its time, forgetting Portugal. In episode 4, a map shows Portugal as part of Spain. Although Portugal in fact has been part of Spain since 1580 to 1640, that is not relevant to the story that is told, when said that Spain loose importance since it's defeat in with North America war, in 1898. The graphic shows Spain loosing Portugal, and all the colony's while telling about that defeat, in 1898 (???)... That simple it's not right. As it not right to say that Spain was the biggest country ever. Portugal and Spain divided the world with the Tordesilhas treat, back in 1494, being both the TWO biggest country's in the world. I liked this documentary, because it shows how cruel a man can be and because it's very well done in terms of story about Spain society then and until now, but in fact it's not so precise in terms of history.
Ófærð: Episode #2.10 (2019)
Spoiler alert!
This second season was good, although a little slow. But the last episode - 10/2 - is just not credible. The detective had a difficult relationship with his daughter, trying to get her love and attention during all episodes of season 2, but in this last episode, when she's kidnapped, he drives normally to the place where she's supposed to be, interviewing a person of interest meanwhile, in the same trip. Come on guys! Do something better with your endings in your Scandinavian movies..
1971: The Year That Music Changed Everything (2021)
Somewhat boring.
Perhaps all episodes could be filled with more music, and with a little less conversation, that in many cases is superfluous. And BTW, skip episode 3. Totally vain.
