Invasion (2021–2024)

The story could be told in a movie

[6/10 · 3 July 2023]

I don't why the story takes so long although it doesn't happen so much. Sometimes they use some heteronormative clishees ("now you are the man of the family"). They steal out time with details that aren't important at all. The music is great and some actors act well too. I wish it could be more dynamic and shorter. The current trend of making series from a short and small stories is good for the business but not really good for the audience. Please, don't make boring series. Better make a movie instead of a serie. I think this is not one of the best productions of Apple TV. If you would like to spend time with your family and friends, please, do something else than watching this serie.

Variações: Guardian Angel (2019)

Wrong singing and not clear propose

[5/10 · 3 November 2021]

Almost 2 hours about an one of the most important rock musicians of Portugal and you get more a hart listening singing of the actor than the getting famous context in the Portuguese society which could be more interesting for the not-knowing audience. The actors are good (except the solo singing parts) but the propose stays unclear.

The Morning Show (I) (2019– )

Very good acting and dramaturgy

[9/10 · 20 November 2019]

I appreciate so much the acting of both main protagonists. Especially Jennifer acts believable. The dramaturgy is also well done. That's why I wanted to see all of the episodes one after another. The story is very good too.

I think it's important to show some critical views of journalistic work as well to understand a part of the context of it.

I think in this times with a few of narcissistic politicians it's necessary to appreciate a good journalism to know what we should protect and save.

The Silence of Others (2018)

The best documentary of the decade

[10/10 · 9 December 2018]

One of the most sensible documentaries about the fight of a few victims of Franco's dictatorship for justice. I saw it in Barcelona where the director and one of the fighters were. At the end the audience stood up and applauded a lot. The documentary has a few strong emotional moments. Now I understand more why Spain has problems with this part of its history.
