Atk Engines Why Atk Engines Lie,?

Analysis: Social Network (spoilers) Three good news

Guys, I may be naive but ... the last few weeks have made me to be somewhat optimistic about the future of television series in our country. For three reasons.

I'm sure you all know one of them.

Hispania

A very solid series, with a technical bill with little precedent in our television country, well written, well acted and believable. One of its greatest merits in my opinion, has not been sufficiently stressed: "Hispania" is epic and ... work. Fiction in our country (and I speak not only of the television) was generally funny or, at best, realistic tone, manners. I do not remember another recent case of film or series where the characters fight for something large, collective ideals in a serious and credible. Our fiction, perhaps a nationalist epic excess lived during the years of the Franco dictatorship, perhaps to continue a tradition rather cynical, had recently been unable to count an epic story. The few attempts were masked after failure of poetic exaltation ("Alatriste ) or revisions little concerned with historical accuracy passes through the filter of the comedy of manners and comics (" Red Eagle ). In that sense, "Hispania" is not just a series of success, not just the phenomenon of the season, but for our fiction opens new ground for many years. Of the credit for the Bamboo series Antena 3 is that, precisely because to enter a field almost untouched, has been forced to lay down rules to create a universe through which pass (no doubt) many series from now. I mean, the writers, directors, actors ... have had to establish how these characters speak, to what extent they are needed the archaic language, how far they should be faithful to recorded history, until they can get the cleavage of actresses ... The actors (and those who direct them) have had to establish to what extent should express natural tone with which tend to talk and how to use the formal tone without accents and almost unconsciously associate with that time ...

Eye

obviously as a spectator, I have a few reservations about the series (in my case, I would epic tone that will get better from time to time, there was a dramatic time of diminished excitement, which enabled us to see the daily life of these people and the relationships between their characters) but, as even its top officials have written here in Bloguionistas, we all know that this is not a perfect series, but the best we have been able to do. And, in my opinion, of course, what they have achieved has been a lot. Lot. Ultimately, in my opinion, the best of "Hispania" is not just to be a great series, but also opens the path that will move many more, and hopefully be as good as this. At least for me, the second good news of recent weeks has been ...

Coconut Museum The first sitcom "chanante" was released last Monday in Antena Neox. As the host of "Hispania" has been almost unanimously positive, "Coconut Museum" has received a much warmer response. The hardest critical have arrived, in an apparent paradox, of those who call themselves big fans of the "chanante. Clearly this something like the fan syndrome independent group begins to despise his favorite band before it was bought by a multinational and begins to sell many more records: the fans are more cerradis assumptions that the artists and despair because "Coconut Museum" there Celebrities section, does not leave or stop Enjuto Mojamuto repeated phrases of previous flagship programs. Fortunately, the "chanante" are more flexible than many of his fans. Not a perfect series (do not think there such a thing, of course) "Coconut Museum" is a sitcom that lasts long it should last a sitcom based on clearly defined characters and, in my opinion, properly mixing surreal humor the chanante with the requirements of a frame (in which there is obviously less freedom than a succession of sketches.)

is true that laughter (recorded live, not canned) are somewhat exaggerated and annoying (although one does not take long to get used to them) and a series is visually unattractive, but I think not in neither in these areas, too far from international series as "The IT Crowd ." Indeed it seems that "Coconut Museum" series shares with a bundle of British sitcom classic (almost ancient) and a surreal and subversive content.

Just the opposite is what makes the third good news this week:

What happened to Jorge Sanz? I have seen the entire series in one pass prior to the issue, which begins on Friday 12, Digital + (later to non-subscribers, will be available on the website of the chain and DVD). As has repeatedly said the creator of "QFDJS?" (Abbreviated as from now), David Trueba, the reference is clear from his series "Curb Your Enthusiasm by Larry David, ie, a series in which reality and fiction intertwine in which genres (comedy and drama) are mixed. No laugh track here, not a single set, not a traveling

or steady

... but also, paradoxically, there are images just seen in our series: conversations in the cockpit of a full-speed AVE train, walks on the beach in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bto a shooting accident in Guatemala ... Everyone seems to travel home recordings of Jorge Sanz, unflappable hero, into misery, or, to be somewhat less dramatic, to the misery it is for an actor forgetting.

The series is full of actors and celebrities playing themselves: Santiago Segura and Juan Luis Galiardo, in an equally anthology anthology episode spent on the Goya Awards, Antonio Resines, Juan Diego Botto ... they all agreed to appear on the show making fun of themselves, or, more precisely, the image they project. Curiously, but also logical, that the formal renewal of the hit sitcom, the arrival of our screen television "look pseudodocumental " and the bittersweet tone (which also has much to do with the British series as " Extras "or"

The Office "Ricky Gervais) come from the hand of a director and screenwriter from, especially the world of cinema.

"QFDJS?" Is not set for viewers who expect a breakout fiction, full of jokes and supposedly surprising twists and turns. Unlike most of the television drama made in our country, the series directed by David Trueba wants to be like life, it happens off screen, and perhaps because of it, tells the story of someone who barely knows live off them. best of three series is that, as stated in the case of "Hispania", opened three new roads, almost unexplored, to television fiction. Three tones finally have nothing to do with the dramedy pseudocostumbrista to which we are accustomed. It is no coincidence that none of these three series majors proceed arising from the arrival of private television. Nor that two of them, the two comedies, aimed at audiences of varying dimensions, derived from chains that, until now, had not opted for their own production: Antena Neox and Digital Plus. Are we at last before the arrival of more specific series, for a more defined? I would say yes. I think that finally, after a long wait, I think the times are changing. For good.
