Peaky Blinders (s01-s04) - review

Hi everyone! In today's post I want to tell you something about one of my favourite series, which is Peaky Blinders. This show is based on affairs of an actual British gang, which was functioning in the 1920s in Birmingham. The director was inspirated by his parents, because they remembered times when Peaky Blinders' gang was popular in Britain. It has four seasons so far, the fifth has been announced, but nobody knows when it'll come. 

Thomas Shelby (Cillian Murphy) is the most important preson to this story, he's a boss of the gang and most of the plot involves him. At the beginning you can think that he's a ruthless man, but later it came out that he's quite sensitive and reasonable. He's definitely my favourite character in this series, his emotions seems so real that you can fall in love with him (not for real of course)! 

Another really relevant character to this story is Polly Gray (Hellen McCrory) and she's Shelby's aunt. She's one of the most stubborn and resonable people in the series, but by the time, her mental health is closes in. However, she's a strong women character most of the time. She often counsels Tommy in many cases.

Whole series is great and I enjoyed it very much. I love the characters, costumes and especially music, because it's a fantastic modern-sounds and old times atmosphere combination. It's truly worth to watch. I hope you liked this post, bye!

Riverdale (s01) - review

Hello! Today I want to present to you Riverdale, but I'm going to describe only the first season, because I think that other parts aren't worth to watch and they lost their potential. This season is about the murder case of a teenager, which his friends and sister want to solve. By the time, the story takes more threads and engages a viewer very much. I reckon this series is rather for teenagers, but everyone has their own taste!

(In order) Cheryl Blossom (Madelaine Petsch) is the sister of the murdered boy, she has a specific character, not everybody will like her. She's a little bit superior and very daring. Next person is Betty Cooper (Lili Reinhart) and she is quite bright, serious and sensitive. Third character is Veronica Lodge (Camila Mendes), she likes risk and that's why she's usually in trouble, but she's also disposing of them really quickly. Another hero in this story is Archie Andrews  (K.J Apa), he's a brave young man, at the beginning he loves music, but by the time he forgets about it. Next is Jughead Jones (Cole Sprouse) he's rather an artistic soul, quite sensitive, but also intelligent. The last person is Josie McCoy (Ashleigh Murray) and she has her own girls-band, she's nice and helpful.

This part of the series is the best for me, I've had a great time watching it. The idea is very interesting and well created. I can recommend it for you if you're looking for something light and in teen-drama style. I hope you liked this post, bye for now!

Mindhunter (s01) - review

Hi! Series which I have for you this time is Mindhunter. It's a Netflix Originals production based on Mark Olshaker's book, it takes place in the late '70s about a couple of FBI agents who are working together to develop methods for prosecuting serial killers and analyzing the causes of their crimes. The main character is meeting and having conversations with the most awful murderers in America's history, like Edmund Kemper or Jerry Brudos. So far it has one season, but the second should come soon!

Holden Ford (Jonathan Groff) is the most relevant person to this story. He's mainly meeting with the murderers and 'solving their minds'. He's very intelligent, but also engaging, he creates the whole atmosphere in the series. I think everyone loves this guy!

This series really deserves to have more popularity, because of a great realization, atmosphere and idea. I'm waiting impatiently for the second season and I think that every fan of crime fiction should watch it.

I hope you liked this post, bye!

Pretty Little Liars (s01-s07) - review

Hi everyone! Today I'm going to present you Pretty Little Liars. This American series isn't really true-crime, it's rather for teenagers because of mentality of characters and their (love) stories. The production is about a group of friends, who are trying to solve the mysterious case of their friend's death. Whole story has many different threards and this is why it's quite interesting. Pretty Little Liars was created in 2010 and broadcasted until 2017, so it has seven seasons.

(From the left) The first character is Emily Fields (Shay Mitchell), she's a swimmer who really cares about her hobby's development, she's a sensitive and emotional person. Usually she depends on somebody else's opinion, because it's safer option for her. We can also see that she has a problem with discovering herself. 

The second girl is Hanna Marin (Ashley Benson) and she has quite tough character. Almost always, she gets her own way. She can be also iritating, but that depends on somebody's taste. 

The third person is Aria Montgomery (Lucy Hale), she's really creative, her interests are art and books. She's definitely humanist. She's quite sensitive too, in many situations her movements were guided by emotions.

The last character is Spencer Hastings (Troian Bellisario). She's probably the most intelligent member of this group, because she becomes from the family of lawyers and she takes care of school. In my opinion she's the best character in this series! She's also bitter if needed.

Whole production is OK, but not incredible. As I said, I think it's mainly for teenagers, because of many threards that sometimes end up without any sense. However, I have a fondness for this series and if you are bored and looking for something light to watch, I recommend it for you!

Alias Grace - review

Hi! Next series that I want to present to you is Alias Grace. It's a mini serial, it has only six episodes and just one season. This production tells a story about an Irish girl who was accused for brutal murders of her employer and his housekeeper. After many years in jail, she starts a therapy with an young and clever psychologist to eventually acquit her from the charges. Whole story goes on in the 19th century in Canada.

The main character is Grace Marks (Sarah Gadon), she's a poor, Irish imigrant. She arrived to Canada when she was a very young girl. She had to work as a housekeeper in house where she met her best friend. Her father was an alcoholic and he commanded Grace to send all the money to him and other children in family, but she knew that he'll get drunk for this cash. That's why she cut herself off from them. Some people may call her a weirdo, because as a viewers we usually see her in the time when she's in the prison, where she lost some of her mind, but we can see her in times when she was free and happy in retrospections. It's really hard to describe her character, because the series moves between the past, present and even the future of Grace's life.

This series is tough, requires a lot of thinking and reflection. The ending is very confusing and whole story is a mystery untill the final scene. It takes many difficult issues, for example: unprofessionally made abortion by Grace's teenage friend and ways how people with mental illnesses were treated those days. After all, I think it's worth to watch and I highly recommend it for everyone who likes mystery and psychological theards.

I hope you liked this post, bye for now!

My first post!

Hi, I'm Ola. I'm new here, as you've already noticed and I'd like you to know me better. I'm 15 years old, I'm from Poland and I live in Szczecin with my parents, brother and dog. I have short, brown hair (it's not my natural color haha), green eyes and I usually have a smile on my face :) I am rather of medium height.

I'm quite positive person, but sometimes I have a bad day. I often joke, but I can be serious, you can talk to me about many things. I like biology, books (especially Stephen King) and makeup. Except English, I learn German and want to  be fluent in these languages. Maybe my third language will be Spanish. Music is very important to me. I listen to many types, from rap (Polish, English, German) through rock and metal, to typical pop music. However, I'm going to write reviews about series, because I also spend a lot of time watching them. They will be series mainly with a criminal or mystery.

I hope you will like my posts :)
