Greetings @Movies&Tvshows community.…

It's been such a long time since I made a review of any TV series, but this is a series I can't just get past without writing about it; it won't be fair on my part to just let this slide.

So here I am, talking about Outlander, the most epic love series I have watched so far. I reluctantly started watching this drama series when I came across it online. The universe must be really trying to get me entertained. Out of all the series screaming for my attention, I get to choose this rare gem by chance.

The story started when Claire, who lives in the 20th century and is on a holiday, a second honeymoon with her husband, was mythically transported and traveled through time as she found herself 200 years before her time.

What if your future was your past?

Struggling in a strange land to survive and find her way back to her time, without being given a choice, Claire had to marry a Scottish fighter and a Highlander, Jaime Fraser. That was when her future, which was her past, began to unfold.

Outlander is a historical drama series that was adapted from the book series of the same name by Diana Gabaldon and developed by Ronald D. Moore. This storyline, though fictional, feels so real, as all the actors involved embodied their characters so well you are invested deeply in every one of their stories.

Warning:

There are brutal rape scenes close to the end of season one. I found it so troubling to watch, I had to skip that part, but aside from that, this story will make you laugh 😂, blush, feel emotional, and sometimes be so intense that it will make you cry. Yeah, I cried at some point watching this series. It is that great and powerful. Also, it's very addictive; the moment you start, you might get hooked until you finish, but it will all be worth it.

The series started in August 2014 and has seven seasons so far, with fans expecting the eighth season. I was lucky to find and start watching at the seventh season. So I never had to wait a bit to watch what was next.

These are reasons you will want to watch outlander;

First, for love, lol, do not act surprised. I am a lover girl, and Outlander will make you re-evaluate a lot of things you know about love; it will make you fall in love again with your love life and can make you love harder.

For family values:

Outlander highlights what family is all about: love, patience, sacrifice, and creating and strengthening bonds. So if you are a family-oriented person like myself, this series is for you.

The adventure;

If you love adventure, romance, and time travel series that are deep-rooted in Scottish history and rich culture, historical places, and politics, then you will so much enjoy Outlander.

The outstanding actors

A lot of the actors performed outstandingly, so you won't be able to get enough of them.

We have Claire Fraser, played by the highly talented Caitriona Balfe. She is someone you enjoy every single time she appears on your screen.

We have Jamie Fraser, played by Sam Heughan, every girl's dream man (hehe), romantic, charismatic, strong, loyal, and a great fighter.

Then we have Murtagh Fitzgibbons Fraser is played by Duncan Lacroix. A loyal godfather to Jamie Fraser. He is the kind of godfather you will die peacefully, knowing your kid is in great hands.

The antagonist

One of the main antagonists in the series is Jonathan Randall, Frank Randall. Played by Tobias Menzies. You are going to enjoy hating him so much that even when he plays the good guy in his future life, you won't be able to shake off the things he has done in his past life. Yeah, he is that great.And a host of other actors you will enjoy seeing, but I will leave their names for you to find out when you watch this series.

Under hyped I think:

I think Outlander was very under hyped; otherwise, with how epic and spectacular it is, I shouldn't be finding out about this series only at the seventh season. What do I know? Maybe I have taken a backseat in recent years when it comes to following drama series.

Rating

outlander is 10/10 for me; it's simply spectacular and one of a kind.It's a drama series I planned on watching over and over again, and oh, how I wish I could unsee it so that each time I rewatch it, I would get to experience every single scene as intensely as I did the first time. There are only a few movies that have such a great impact on me, hehe.

So, have you watched Outlander, or will you give it a watch? Let me know what you think in the comments section.

And if you have similar drama series, kindly recommend them to me; I will so much appreciate it.

Thank you so much for your time and support, happy watching when you do.

Hola Hivers cinéfilos, espero estén bien. Tenía bastante tiempo sin pasar por acá, digamos que estos últimos meses no he estado viendo tanta televisión y películas como antes por falta de tiempo pero este fin de semana me lo tomé para mí y para tardes de cine así que le traigo algunas recomendaciones, la primera es una película Argentina que me dejó con buenas impresiones, desde hace un tiempo pienso que el Cine Argentino específicamente ha avanzado muchísimo y ha crecido bastante a tal punto de hacer series y películas muy buenas que merecen ser vistas, está película es de 2018 y la conseguí por casualidad buscando que ver en MAX y no me decepcionó.

Hello Hivers cinephiles, I hope you are well. I had quite some time without stopping by here, let's say that these last few months I have not been watching as much TV and movies as before due to lack of time but this weekend I took it for me and for movie evenings so I bring you some recommendations, the first is an Argentine film that left me with good impressions, for some time now I think that Argentine Cinema specifically has come a long way and has grown quite a lot to the point of making very good series and movies that deserve to be seen, this movie is from 2018 and I got it by chance looking for what to watch on MAX and I was not disappointed.

Dolores Dreier en una joven acusada de asesinar a una de sus amigas, al principio de la película no se cuanta nada con tanta contundencia pero sabemos que pasa algo y eso te atrapa desde el primer momento, Dolores vive encerrada en su casa desde hace dos años y medio esperando el juicio que le puede cambiar la vida por completo, su entorno familiar es bastante tenso con unos padres muy estrictos y meticulosos que piensan en cada paso que dará su hija ya que no quieren que termine en la cárcel, la película por momentos se puede poner muy densa pero no es para menos pasando por todo las situaciones que están pasando, por momentos puedes pesar que está viviendo dentro de la historia, Dolores por momentos piensa rendirse y no seguir con su vida a pesar de saber que ella no es culpable pero sabemos que hay algo que ella no quiere contar así que te deja con la intriga de saber sí es culpa o no hasta el final de la película, pues e suena situación bastante complicada, al llegar el día de juicio la declaran inocente pero sabes que ella siempre llevará esa carga para toda su vida.

Dolores Dreier is a young woman accused of murdering one of her friends, at the beginning of the film nothing is told with such forcefulness but we know that something happens and that catches you from the first moment, Dolores lives locked in her house for two and a half years waiting for the trial that can change her life completely, her family environment is quite tense with very strict and meticulous parents who think about every step that their daughter will take because they do not want her to end up in jail, the movie can get very dense at times but it is not for less going through all the situations that are happening, at times you can feel that she is living within the story, Dolores at times thinks to give up and not continue with her life despite knowing that she is not guilty but we know that there is something that she does not want to tell so it leaves you with the intrigue of knowing if it is guilty or not until the end of the film, because it sounds quite complicated situation, when the day of trial she is declared innocent but you know she will always carry that burden for her entire life.

Lo que más me atrapó de esta película fueron las actuaciones y lo densa que pueden ser algunas situaciones familiares y con la gente en general, dónde cada quien tiene su propio punto de vista y cada quién decide sí pensar que ella es culpable o no. Espero les haya gustado este post, nos vemos en la próxima.

What caught me the most in this movie were the performances and how dense some family situations can be and with people in general, where everyone has their own point of view and everyone decides whether they think she is guilty or not. I hope you liked this post, see you in the next one.

¡Hola! Soy Equipodelta y vengo a recomendarte esta película ambientada en la época medieval. Conocerás algo de historia acerca de la guerra de los Ochenta Años donde se llevó a cabo el Asedio de Haarlem, podría parecer un documental de aquellos sucesos de la historia de los años 1572 y 1573 cuando los españoles querían invadir Harlem. Sin embargo, no se centra como tal en la historia de la guerra sino, en la vida personal de la heroína Kenau, una mujer que gracias a su inteligencia, usó su dolor de pérdida por su hija y luchó en el asedio, convirtiéndose en líder de un ejército, odiada por los españoles de aquella época, que nos hacen ver en la película no podían creer que una mujer podía derrotarles sus planes una y otra vez.

Esta película la amé, porque me encantan las peliculas que nos cuenten acerca de la historia de un país o un personaje, tipo documental pero sabemos que no es tan real como "la vida real" a veces puede ser exagerada o puede ser "suavizada" sin embargo, no conocía esta mujer heroica y me ha capturado tanto la atención que comencé a investigar sobre ella y su historia y el asedio de Haarlem para poder discernir entre la película y la realidad. He quedado impactada y con muchas ganas de saber mas.

Me hizo recordar tanto a una de mis varias películas favoritas de historia medieval empezando por Juana de Arco, luego William Walace, Draco, entre otras. Me flippan.

Hello! I'm Equipodelta and I come to recommend you this movie set in medieval times. You will know some history about the Eighty Years' War where the Siege of Haarlem took place, it might seem like a documentary of those events in the history of the years 1572 and 1573 when the Spanish wanted to invade Harlem. However, it does not focus as such on the history of the war but, on the personal life of the heroine Kenau, a woman who thanks to her intelligence, used her grief of loss for her daughter and fought in the siege, becoming the leader of an army, hated by the Spaniards of that time, who make us see in the film could not believe that a woman could defeat their plans again and again. I loved this movie, because I love movies that tell us about the history of a country or a character, documentary type but we know that it is not as real as "real life" sometimes it can be exaggerated or can be "softened" however, I did not know this heroic woman and it has captured my attention so much that I started to research about her and her story and the siege of Haarlem to be able to discern between the movie and reality. I have been shocked and eager to know more. It reminded me so much of one of my several favorite medieval history movies starting with Joan of Arc, then William Walace, Draco, among others. I flippancy.

Centrados en la historia de Kenau, una comerciante de madera, viuda, tras la muerte de su esposo quedó sola con dos hijas y sobrevivir a todo le hizo desarrollar un agudo sentido en los negocios, en tiempos con de su esposo se oponían al control de los gobernantes, mas aún a las invasiones españolas, sin embargo, al morir su esposo, se centró en sus hijas y en su economía.

Una de sus hijas siguió el ejemplo de su padre y se unió a los opositores de la iglesia católica, tras varios sucesos la capturan junto a su novio y fue quemada como hereje, su madre no pudo hacer nada, sin embargo su hermana para salvarla de morir de manera horrible ejecutó un acto que dejó a su madre impresionada. Ella como madre no podía sacar la imagen de su hija sufriendo y quemándose en la hoguera, su otra hija le reclama quedarse de brazos cruzados. En su despertar, se une en la defensa de la invasión española y se convierte en líder y heroína, cuidando de no perder a su otra hija.

La criticaron de dura, cruel y hasta querer ser como un hombre, llenándola de humillaciones y sobrenombres, pero en el fondo, era la venganza por el dolor de perder a su hija.

Focused on the story of Kenau, a wood merchant, widow, after the death of her husband she was left alone with two daughters and surviving everything made her develop a keen sense in business, in times with her husband they were opposed to the control of the rulers, even more to the Spanish invasions, however, when her husband died, she focused on her daughters and her economy. One of her daughters followed her father's example and joined the opponents of the Catholic church, after several events she was captured with her boyfriend and was burned as a heretic, her mother could not do anything, however her sister to save her from dying a horrible death executed an act that left her mother impressed. She as a mother could not get the image of her daughter suffering and burning at the stake out of her mind, her other daughter claims her to stand idly by. In her awakening, she joins in the defense of the Spanish invasion and becomes a leader and heroine, taking care not to lose her other daughter. She was criticized for being hard, cruel and even wanting to be like a man, filling her with humiliations and nicknames, but deep down, it was revenge for the pain of losing her daughter.

Detrás del dolor de una madre...

El imperio español no podía creer "la mujer que lucha como un hombre" Kenau por parte de su pueblo era vista como una mujer valiente.

Acerca de los escenarios, tiene una estupenda fotografía, efectos especiales y audiovisuales, lo hace ver una producción costosa.

Acerca de los actores, son desconocidos para mí pero puedo asegurar que estuvieron espléndidos en cada una de sus interpretaciones. Esta película no tiene ningún tipo de desperdicio para mí, nada qué ponerle ni nada qué quitarle, al principio pensé que era un documental de la guerra, pero rápidamente el guión nos hizo comprender que se trataba de la historia de una mujer.

Ahora investigando de historia real, tengo una mujer héroe más en mi lista, mujeres que dejaron huella, que dejaron un legado y una historia, de la fortaleza que podemos tener, la inteligencia y la resiliencia para enfrentar grandes desafíos.

Si pudiera ponerle más estrellas de las 5 que normalmente pongo como máximo, le pondría 10, que aun desconociendo la historia completa de Kenau la película me atrapó y me encantó. Pero sí los productores dejaron claro en las críticas que, gran parte de la historia contada en la película acerca de Kenau es ficción.

Disfrútala en familia, en estos domingos de película.

Behind the pain of a mother... The Spanish empire could not believe "the woman who fights like a man" Kenau was seen by her people as a brave woman. About the scenery, it has great photography, special effects and audiovisuals, it makes it look an expensive production. About the actors, they are unknown to me but I can assure that they were splendid in each of their interpretations. This film has no waste for me, nothing to add and nothing to take away from it, at first I thought it was a war documentary, but quickly the script made us understand that it was the story of a woman. Now researching real history, I have one more woman hero on my list, women who left a mark, who left a legacy and a story, of the strength we can have, the intelligence and resilience to face great challenges. If I could give it more stars than the 5 I normally give it at most, I would give it 10, that even if I didn't know the whole story of Kenau, the movie caught me and I loved it. But yes the producers made it clear in the reviews that, much of the story told in the movie about Kenau is fiction. Enjoy it as a family, on these movie Sundays.

When we talk about Dying of Pleasure, we think of sex until you feel you can’t have any more, and although this miniseries has some of that, it’s more about the road to death. It is difficult to think about what we would do if one day we are told that we have little time to live, although death is part of life and we know it is going to happen, nothing prepares us for such a news. Maybe we have a lot of unfinished things and maybe we have spent our lives living just to pass the time without feeling really happy and satisfied, thinking that we have a lot of time left to live.

When I started watching the series I did imagine a woman looking for sex but I didn’t read why and I didn’t read how sad it was going to be for me. But this production is not only sad, it is also very funny with a lot of dialogues and scenes that give what we would call “Pena ajena” but who cares about that, if we are walking the road to death.

Cuando empecé a ver la serie si me imaginé una mujer buscando sexo pero no leí porqué y tampoco lo triste que iba a ser para mí. Pero es que esta producción no es solo triste, también es muy divertida con muchos diálogos y escenas en las que dan lo que llamaríamos “Pena ajena” pero a quien le importa eso, si estamos andando el camino hacía la muerte.

Molly, embarks on a journey of sexual rediscovery after she is informed that the breast cancer she had gone through two years ago has metastasized to her bones. She realices she has little time left but what she really regrets is not having lived her sexuality to the fullest, not having been able to have an orgasm with anyone other than herself, so she leaves her husband who although well intentioned does not provide her with what she wants before he dies.

Her friend Nikki is the one she chooses to accompany her in this moment and with whom she wants to die. Watching this relationship I felt lonely because I have never had a friend like this, the character of the unconditional, loyal best friend who leaves everything to accompany her friend, is the most emotional I have seen and Jenny Slate’s performance is spectacular, it made me cry a couple of times but at the same time it also made me laugh because when these two women were together accepting death it was a learning journey and not only for them but for everyone who watches the series.

Michelle Williams is who plays Molly, a difficult character because in addition to knowing she is dying she is also dealing with a sexual trauma caused in childhood and with which she has had to live all her life, but she leaves everything no matter what anyone says and although she does not know what she is looking for she is willing to try everything until she finds what really makes her feel alive. It is a journey that may seem unnecessary but since she had nothing more to lose, everything she learned about herself was going to be a gain and the most important thing is that there was no limit, since she was willing to try and test herself.

Su amiga Nikki es a quien escoge para que la acompañe en este momento y con quien quiere morir. Viendo está relación me sentí sola pues nunca he tenido una amiga así, el personaje de la mejor amiga incondicional, leal y que deja todo para acompañar a su amiga, es lo más emotivo que he visto y la actuación de Jenny Slate es espectacular, me hizo llorar un par de veces pero a la vez también me hizo reír pues cuando esas dos mujeres estaban juntas aceptando la muerte era un viaje de aprendizaje y no solo para ellas sino para todo el que vea la serie. Michelle Williams es quien encarna a Molly, un personaje difícil porque además de saberse moribunda también trata con un trauma sexual ocasionado en la infancia y con el que ha tenido que vivir toda su vida, pero que deja todo sin importar el que dirán y aunque no sabe lo que está buscando está dispuesta a probar de todo hasta encontrar lo que de verdad la hace sentir viva. Es un viaje que puede parecer innecesario pero ya que mas podía perder, todo lo que aprendiera sobre ella iba a ser ganancia y lo más importante es que no había límite, pues estaba dispuesta a probar y probarse.

The parts about the hospital and the illness and coming to terms with it and living through those moments, I don’t know if it will ever work for me but I felt so at peace with the theme that it made me stay inside the series. I really liked Molly finding what she was looking for and making peace with her past, getting the inner peace she so desperately needed and having the people she really loved with her.

That last chapter was to cry snotty but also brings you a little joy, they are feelings that I do not know if they go well together but with this series you get to feel them because you cry but you feel good. I really recommend this series that is based on a true story and that makes it more emotional, but it is not that you are going to spend all the chapters crying, NO, here they know how to mix sex, illness, friendship and comedy very well. You have to see it because it leaves a feeling that I can’t explain.

Ese último capítulo fue para llorar a moco suelto pero también te aporta un poco de alegría, son sentimientos que no se si llevan bien juntos pero que con esta serie logras sentirlos porque lloras pero te sientes bien. De verdad que recomiendo esta serie que está basada en una historia real y eso la hace más emotiva, pero que tampoco es que vas a pasar todos los capítulos llorando, NO, aquí se sabe mezclar muy bien el sexo, la enfermedad, la amistad y la comedía. Tienen que verla porque deja una sensación que no se explicar.

Many times we think that we deserve a vacation, to get out of the routine, to leave everything behind and enjoy the wonderful things in life...To be free.

I feel that we can feel dissatisfied when we arrive at a place, we start to argue, be upset, not wanting anything, spoil the life of our travel companions and if it is with the family we seem to transform, we seem strangers. Can you imagine for a moment finding out that a great tragedy is coming, that we can lose our lives by panicking.

Can you imagine that on that day you may die by a tsunami, we may die at the hands of an unscrupulous person who abuses our good heart, or simply by someone who loses control of his emotions.

In this miniseries called “La Palma” I could live moments of great tension, I was very attentive and I think this even unbalanced me a little, to the point of watching another comedy movie to try to balance myself. In some scenes I tried to say as I do in other films that this is a lie, but this happened, that is, it is something based on real life.

The eruption of a volcano called Cumbre Vieja in La Palma, Canary Islands, in 2021, was based on the lives of some residents who were affected. I think knowing that filled me even with a lot of sadness, but I'm sure many will see it as something normal and enjoy it.

You can imagine for a moment the eruption of a volcano, then the sea breaking loose and sweeping away everything in its path, experiencing those moments of anguish due to the great professional burden of its protagonists is truly capable of keeping us paralyzed and imagining what we can do in those moments.

Without more to say, I can only recommend it as it invites reflection on how fragile life can be and that union in the community in times of unexpected events.
