Attracts attention that The gardenerSpanish Spanish series in Netflix During the last weeks, it is not based on any novel. Because the material offered by the story pergeña by Miguel Sáez Carral (Hunting, without tits there is no paradise) seems to be extracted directly from a “noir” best-seller from those who abound so much on the same platform.
An observation perhaps Baladí, perhaps not, but that directs directly The gardener In the center of attention of that consumer that devours the format of mini series of mystery, either of national production as international, that usually the criminal with the convenient batch of family dramas and traumas of the past.
The gardener It points directly to that nerve center, with the promising extent a twisted Hitchcockian and romantic component. The almost-love triangle that is formed between Elmer, the young apococus who lives under the wing of a controlling mother and falls in love with the young woman to whom they had agreed to kill, without a doubt offers an opportunity for a twisted trip to the abysses of the crime that collects many reasons of the British director and creator of the Norman Bates of the big screen, a character that undoubtedly inspires to some extent the adventures of Elmer.
But The gardenershot in nostalgic locations of a winter Pontevedra, bets on the path of the fairy tale, offering Álvaro Rico and Catalina Sopelana the opportunity to become other youth lovers in a hostile environment. The commitment of the series to please a youth audience instead of exploiting the darkest and psychological facet of its condition, evalted many minutes in a series that bets on the most fatalistic and easy and stuffed vein with an insufficiently developed police procedure. The series advocates to reflect on the need to even feel the saddest emotions but along the way it rejects all the opportunities to make something else darker, murky, fun and interesting.
The result is another series that deals with the emotional and unsolved problems of its protagonists – even adult police seem possessed by that force – than a murky or emotional thriller, obviating in passing the moral implications of crime. Neither murky nor emotional, only the Mexican Cecilia Suárez Get transfer the screen with an enigmatic and complex character harmed by images of languid video clip. Otherwise, The gardener She is pregnant by youthful naive interpreters for forced in a Hitchockian thriller too diluted in the needs of a fatalistic and easy family drama, without the romantic thriller who intends to be to create something distinctive.
