THE WALKING DEAD:

The walking dead, released in 2010 is a story that only lovers of the genre established by Romero can come to love. A simple plot, this series is set in a post-apocalyptic world where the idea of ​​zombies did not even happen in movies. Here the human social law is called into question, the new status quo is the law of the strongest. The appeal of the series is not the action of the zombies, on the contrary, these peculiar characters pass into the background, the real threat are the living. This we see season by season; In 7 seasons each one more graphic and implies that the other. The first chapters are slow and we see the living dead, what they call walkers, much more agile and intelligent than the later work, this is due to the evolution from the adaptation of the comic.

Personally this series at first I did not like the simple fact that it is one of the many arguments of gender. However, what stands out from others is the development of characters, which develops along with the seasons, for example, Rick the main character; Begins as a man full of hope, that circumstances not only showed him that the world changed, also learned that if it does not change with the world would end all his group. Rick lost everything, his house, his wife, his best friend, his house once again, many members of his post-apocalyptic family but even after losing hope completely still tried to live, and of course this would be much easier without antagonists So eloquent.

I honestly do not recommend this series at all, for the simple fact that without enjoying the genre a story a little quick and vibrant, The Walking Dead will not quench your boredom or your thirst for amusement. But if you have already seen the series I invite you to read the comic, where the story changes in details sometimes very significant, but maintains the thread, nonetheless, the characters change, even in its development. The comic is completely graphic and dry to the eye, it is enjoyed in a few days and its pages are relatively short.

HOUSE OF CARDS REVIEW

HOUSE OF CARDS 

As introduction, House of Cards is a famous serie with a political and power ambition thematic. It’s a Netflix original series, which means it is exclusively streamed on Netflix movies and series platform. Actually, House of Cards is one of the most popular Drama series, nominated to some distinctions and awards, such as some Emmy`s for the serie, and nominated to some Golden Globe´s awards for actors like Kevin Spacey (protagonist) and Robin Wright. Within the story, basically it is based on the ambitious and dangerous road to the presidency of The United States of America, which Frank Underwood, a recognized politician and the story protagonist, should face.

As my personal opinion, being totally objective, If you like Drama, excellent scripts and dialogues, and very good plots, you must watch House of Cards, I`m totally convinced that watching the first four seasons, you will wait impatiently for the fifth season, available in May 2017. Real feeling and connection with the characters; innovative narration, referring to the interaction between the protagonist and the spectator, when the protagonist refers to you in some dramatic and specific moments during any chapter, giving a new sensation to stories; very well plot structure; and a extraordinary group of actors, are other of the main positive components that make this serie one of the most acclaimed of the last years.
