Narcos (s01-s02) - review

Hi! In this post I want to present to you Narcos, but only two seasons of it, because those seasons are about Pablo Escobar and the third is a different story. The series shows us Escobar's life and activity, but also the cooperation of American DEA and Columbian government, established to catch the drug baron. Narcos is based on real events and producers even show the real pictures of relevant incidents. The narrator is Steve Murphy (Boyd Holbrook) and he's a DEA agent, during the series we can get to know him a little bit. First episodes show us how Pablo Escobar (Wagner Moura) created his drug cartel. Then the action expands more and we can see how Pablo manipulated the Columbian government and his first political performances.

Those two seasons are amazing, really addictive and interesting, in fact, this series inspired me to become a criminal stories freak! So, if you are keen on this kind of entertainment - Narcos is definiately a great choice for you!

Quicksand - review

Hello! In this post I'll tell you about a new Netflix's mini series - Quicksand. It's a Swedish production, which puts the topic of school shootings and many other teenagers' problems  forward. The firs scene begins when the main character is in a terrible shock after the shooting, in which she took part, then she's arrested for a participation in this crime, but as a viewers we don't know the exact course and reasons of this tragedy. By the time we discover more and more circumstances leading to the crime. Quicksand has six episodes, so it's easy to watch in one evening.

Maja Norberg (Hanna Ardehn) is the main character in this story. Because of her boyfriend, she starts going to parties and taking drugs. Maja really loves Sebastian (Felix Sandman) and when she discovers the truth about his home situation, she wants to help him, but by the time Sebastian becomes unpredictable. In my opinion Maja often acts stupid and it isn't my favourite kind of character in TV shows. 

For me, this series is quite interesting and imaginative, but some of my friends didn't like it much. It isn't really a masterpiece, but certainly worth watching if you are a fan of crime stories and if you want to know how a lawsuit looks like.

I hope you liked this post, bye for now!

Bodyguard (s01) - review

Hi! In today's post I want to tell you about series which I recently saw and I think it's really worth watching. Bodyguard is a British series about a man who's hired in Secret Service to protect controversial politician - Julia Montague. Her new counterterrorism bill and political ambitions make her a target. It has one season, but the second is officially announced.

David Budd (Richard Madden) is the main character in this story. He has quite specific charm in both his character and appearance. He's a tough guy when he has to protect Julia and face his family problems, but deep down he's sensitive and caring, like for his kids and wife, with whom he's separated. He's struggling with the traumatic stress after being in the army, but because of that he's more alert and smart when it comes to life-threatening situations in his job. In some of the moments in the show, he seems to be depressed and for me - it's important thread.

If you like stories about conspiracy,politics and terrorism danger in influential countries, with some love plots-Bodyguard is definitely series for you. I was really moved while watching it and I recommend it for every crime fiction fan.

I hope you enjoyed this post, bye!
