I'm back!

Hello!

So, it has been like 4 years since my last post, some series have ended, others have been cancelled and for better or for worse there are always new ones.

In the last couple of years superhero series, or Marvel and DC characters (mostly DC), have become the new focus of young, and not so young audience. Arrow, Agents of SHIELD, The Flash, Agent Carter, Jessica Jones, Daredevil, Supergirl, between others. I love it, I'm a big fan of action movies.

I'm from Spain and only last year Netflix came into my life. Even though it doesn't have the extensive catalogue as the US or Canada it's pretty great. Every week they add something new and their original movies or series are available fairly quickly, excluding some series they had sold to other tv channels before they came to Spain, like House of Cards and Orange is the new black. I think Netflix subscription is very cheap as in the rest of the world (I have the 4 accounts subscription and is about 12€).

Netflix resurfaced my love for documentaries, there are tons, the first one I watched was Making a Murderer, it is a series but a documentary also. It's OK, boring at times but overall interesting. One documentary I loved was Going Clear, I didn't knew anything about Scientology and of course is a bias way to get any knowledge about it but I believed everything about it. And there are a lot of documentaries about how badly we eat and how everything is full of sugar and the overweight problem in the US , they are cool too but if you watch maybe two of them I think t you have seen it all. Another good one is The Propaganda Game, about North Korea, I like it, very informative.

I hope I won't forget about writing again.

Cheers!

Some new stuff you may like

Hello!!!

2012 is here, I hope everything goes according to yours new year plans and that the world doesn’t end, there are a couple of things I want to do before I die actually.

This last week I started watching a tv series called Misfits, is British so for me is quite hard to understand, my ears are custom to American english, but you know if you get the context and what is happening you don’t need to understand every word they are saying, I think. Misfits is in its third season and is very cool. Is about some guys that have to do community service for some criminal stuff they did, and a very strange storm came and they all got a super power, and the super power is linked to something they want or miss. They aren’t the only ones who got powers, there are a lot of people affected by the storm but most of the powers they got are harmless. There are like 7 episodes per season so you can get up to date very fast, well am only finishing the first season but I highly recommend you to give it a try.

So in the spirit of new things here are some new series I like: Homeland, Pan Am, The Walking Dead (well not that new), Ringer, Revenge, American Horror Story, Terra Nova (maybe is cancelled) and The Killing.

Homeland, is about the CIA branch trying to stop terrorists, and the main character (an agent) is certain that that the newly US hero is a terrorist. Pan Am is about the pilots and flight attendants in the 60’s, maybe it sounds boring but there is a back story about the cold war that makes this series watchable. The Walking Dead… well zombies, what else? Ringer, the main character sees a murder and is the main witness so she is in protected custody but she knows that she isn’t save so she escapes from the police and the murderer, and goes to her twin sister for help, the sister kills herself and she takes her place, but it seems that her sister was also involve in something bad. Revenge is a bout this girl who wants to, turum tum tum, revenge her father who was accused of founding terrorism, so she takes a new identity and gets into this social circle of betrayal and starts destroying peoples lives from the inside, but some things don’t go that well. American Horror Story, if you like creepy things this series you will like. Terra Nova, Dinosaurs!!!!! Well maybe this series will be cancelled, so if I where you I would wait if it gets renewed. The Killing, a murder, many suspects and politicians involved, a very refreshing police series. 

In the lighter side there aren’t many new comedies that worth it, I started to watch New Girl and it got future, and Up All Night for those fans of Christina Applegate. There are a few starting this month like Are you there Chelsea? With Donna of That ‘70s Show. So in this subject I recommend you to get up to speed with the good old comedy series.

Have a great start this year!!!!!

Ana is blogging, the horror!!!!!

Hello!!

I have seen some of my friends blogging, and one of them is getting really good at writing in English, so I decided to start my own blog to practice and share some of my worldly knowledge LOL. Actually the only thing I can think I could write about is Tv series, movies, webcomics and maybe books and music.

Normal people have hobbies like sports, music, personal projects, learning new languages, crafts... Me? Well, I notice that my hobby is to watch tv, a lot. I think that my brain is half baked because of it, many hours in front of the box can make you no only sedentary but lonely too, not in the sad way, but in the way that you not need real people as much (I know is kind of weird and sad). This makes me think that in the future I will become the crazy cat lady that my friends are predicting, LOL. Yes I have two beautiful cats, and no I don't want a third one.

So enough about me, lets talk about tv or some other crap.

These days there are like a hundred tv series that are watchable, really, I don't watch a 100 series but close to 50 for sure. There are of course my favorites and the ones to fill time. I love the ones that have those little details that only people who have seen the show from the beginning can get, like How I Met Your Mother. HIMYM is like the modern version of Friends, but better. The concept is very simple, is about a guy (Ted Mosby) telling his siblings how he met their mother. Yes is a comedy, but like any other comedy there are some sad parts, romantic parts and mostly hilarious parts :D . The stories of Ted always involve his friends: Barney, he always wears a suit and always hook up with girls and makes a challenge of it, and all his stories are “true stories”. Robin is the Canadian girl who wants to make it big in journalism and has some intimacy issues. Lily and Marshall are a couple since college and Ted oldest friends. Lily is a teacher and an artist wanna be and Marshall is a lawyer who wants to make the planet better. I forgot to tell you that Ted is an architect who really, really loves buildings and falls in love quite easily.

HIMYM is a show that I think anyone can enjoy.

Well this is all for today I hope that this didn’t suck as much, and I’ll love some review, questions or inputs.

Until next time!!!
