TV Series

TV SERIES|The TV experience has significantly changed over the past decades. Before, we were used to wait week after week for the latest episode of our favorite TV series.

But hey, not all TV series are good. We don’t want to waste precious time on a TV show that we will not end up liking.

Here at salida|etc, our TV Series reviews will help you decide with two simple recommendations: Skip or Watch?

Netflix’ Kingdom Season 1 Review

Kingdom on Netflix
The image shown above is believed to be owned by the studio, and/or its graphic artist. No copyright infringement intended.

Netflix’ first original Korean series, Kingdom, a supernatural thriller set in the Joseon period and based on the webcomic series Kingdom of the Gods by Korean writer Kin Eun-hee and illustrated by Yang-Kyung-il, is here to revive the zombie genre.

Korean series/movie fans should recognize some of the actors in this series led by Ju Ji-hoon (Princess Hours) in yet another role as crown prince albeit a more mature but equally charming. Another familiar face that people will recognize is Korean actor Ryu Seung-ryong from the 2013 ultimate Korean tearjerker film, Miracle in Cell No. 7, although his appearance in the series is somewhat unrecognizable probably because he portrays a menacing villain. Rounding up the lead cast is Parasite director’s Bong Joon-ho’s frequent collaborator Bae Doona (The Host, Sense8).

Netflix’ Dracula Series Review

Dracula

“Sherlock” creators Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat reunite to bring us this new take on the notorious blood-sucking creature, Dracula. If you have watched Sherlock which of course stars one of our favorite actors Benedict Cumberbatch, then Dracula should feel familiar to you (more or less). But if you haven’t, then it’s not too late to jump in.

The Witcher Season 1 Review

The Witcher
The image shown above is believed to be owned by the studio, and/or its graphic artist. No copyright infringement intended.

Netflix’ adaptation of the book series of the same name by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, The Witcher Season 1 is streaming on Netflix now. Here’s what we think of it.

After hanging up his Superman cape, Henry Cavill takes on the mantle of Geralt of Rivia aka The Witcher, the monster-slaying mutant from the medieval fictional world known as “The Continent”.

The Mandalorian Season 1 Review

The Mandalorian
The image shown above is believed to be owned by the studio, and/or its graphic artist. No copyright infringement intended.

The Skywalker saga has ended with the release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker but there’s a lot more stories to tell in the Star Wars universe and The Mandalorian series from Disney+ is proof of that.

Our favorite Pedro Pascal (Narcos, Game of Thrones) stars as the titular character and he is spot on, which is weird, considering that he wears a helmet almost all throughout the first season.

The Mandalorian fans spot production mistake

The 8-episode Disney+ series, The Mandalorian, is a sure-fire hit and is already beating Netflix’ most streamed show.

Eagle-eyed fans, however, have spotted a seeming production error on the episode. Well, it’s not very clear for us but a boom mic apparently floated on the top-right portion in one of The Mandalorian and new character Omera’s intimate scenes. The supposed error comes near the 14-minute mark of the episode.

Marvel’s Agents of Shield Season 6 Review

Agents of Shield
The image shown above is believed to be owned by the studio, and/or its graphic artist. No copyright infringement intended.

Our favorite agents return for two more seasons with Agents of Shield with Season 6 completed and the final Season 7 scheduled to be wrapped up by 2020. The catch, however, is that the remaining two seasons are shortened with just 13 episodes apiece. Here’s what we think of Agents of Shield Season 6.

Money Heist Part 3 Review

The third season of the Spanish heist crime drama series is now produced by Netflix. Here’s our take on Money Heist Part 3 which debuted on Netflix on July 19, 2019 on the streaming giant.

“Mindhunter” Season 2 Review

Mindhunter
The image shown above is believed to be owned by the studio, and/or its graphic artist. No copyright infringement intended.

Set in the late 1970s, Season 1 was one of the most rewarding slow burn thrillers we’ve watched and Mindhunter Season 2 continues to build up on that reputation but at the same time giving the series a whole new dimension with clever storytelling and improved structure.
