Greetings Hive people!
**
This time I bring you one of my top best series I have seen so far, which a friend recommended it to me telling me that since I like philosophy, history and drama she said I would love it, and she wasn't wrong. Definitely if you like some of these elements, especially philosophy, this series is for you. In Merlí I think I learned more about philosophy and history, than I did in philosophy when I entered university, and I'm not exaggerating hahahaha.
But it is not only the fact that it teaches philosophy as an educational series, it is how the series captures real problems and situations of everyday life in each of the protagonists, where each person with their freedom of thought must question the actions they will take and the consequences they always bring, and how this in turn gives meaning to the philosophical concepts that Merlí gives in his classes. If you haven't seen them yet, I hope to stimulate your curiosity with this post.

Summary
**
"Merlí" is a series originally from Catalonia that tells the story of a philosophy teacher named Merlí Bergeron (Francesc Orella) who gets a job at a high school. As the new philosophy teacher he sets the goal of turning his students into the new Peripatetics and the like a kind of 21st century Aristotle, and it doesn't take him long to gain the receptivity of his students due to his particular methods of teaching philosophy, which leads him sometimes not to follow the rules of the institute, which brings him constant problems with the principal and other teachers. Merlí tries to be the teacher who befriends his students, although his biggest challenge is to win the approval and affection of his son Bruno Bergeron (David Solans) who is in the same class and does not feel very comfortable that his father is the one who teaches philosophy, but to win the majority of students generates some resentment and envy to his colleagues, while he begins to deal with the personal and family problems of his students, which also makes him have to face the parents of his students.
The series is available on Netflix, consists of 3 seasons of 13 to 14 episodes with a duration of 54min per chapter. In addition to having a spin-off "Merlí. Sapere Aude" as a sequel.

As in every review I offer an analysis of characters or characters that are essential to the development of the plot, but Merlí has many characters that are not wasted at any time. That's why I will only talk about the fundamental piece of the series, the character of Merlí.
Merlí Bergeron (Francesc Orella): Definitely Merlí would be the kind of philosophy teacher that just seeing him we all would like to have or have had, especially for his particular way of teaching and getting along with students, his charisma, irony and say what he thinks without any problem, but for this character the reality is that this is not always beneficial, since he is a person totally isolated affectively from his loved ones, despite saying what he thinks it costs him a lot to say emotional words for his son which generates a certain envy since it does not cost him to do the same with his students. He almost always gets others to give their arm to twist for him but it costs him a lot to give his arm to twist and also to accept when he is wrong, which would face on many occasions with their own students when they decide to question him, plus he is already heavy that his students always look for him as the one who has the answers to all their problems because they see him as a friend and ironically with those who sometimes had roses, they also seek in some way his advice.
He is a person with very clear principles and values, who is aware that the world will not turn to what his morals dictate, but he invites people to question things not because it is wrong or right but because of what their own critical thinking indicates to them without any management or obligation on the part of anyone. Truly a character to admire and to question.

Something I can point out about the series is how it covers almost all the problems that happen universally in almost all regions of the world and how the series itself questions and makes you think about even the smallest things you do every day and at the same time teaches you to appreciate what you have. It is not an educational series, but it really educates in many aspects of the human being and how he carries the consequences of his actions.
The adolescent drama, besides being funny, seems to me one of the important things developed in the series, since each protagonist has his own personal, family and social problems, we can see how the characters take that problem to their attitudes with others, the justification of why they do things, how the justifications are insignificant for the consequences that you do things have in the present, how others do not have to support your behavior despite your problems but they can help you if you let them and at the same time that we are not the only problems or those who suffer the most. Most of all it teaches how important it is to validate what others feel, especially if they are close to you or you want to help them.
And finally, each character is very well developed and fulfills its function, no character is wasted in the least, even if it appears 2min on screen. And not to mention the ending that was totally unexpected, that is to say the series at the beginning shows you how it develops with a similar dynamic in each episode, but at the time of the end this catches you by surprise that you do not expect it, and I really cried! I thought it was very good because it is not forced, it makes sense and has a why, but it affected me very emotionally.
Well my dear readers, thank you for making it to the end, I hope you liked my review of this great series, if you have any comments you want to share, I'll be glad to know what you thought.
