    Hello to all movie lovers, welcome once again to my blog! Since a few days ago I was eager to start watching a new series, which by the way I have several on my list that I already enjoyed and I have not yet shared with all of you, I hope to update you soon. To continue, I started watching a series, which personally became very addictive, I got so addicted that I managed to watch it all in two days, it is called The society, it has only one season (10 episodes), it is a drama and a lot of mystery. Therefore, I want to share briefly without spoilers my experience and whether or not I recommend watching it. Without further ado, I invite you to stay and read until the end.

    ¡Hola a todos los amantes del cine! ¡Bienvenidos una vez más a mi blog! Desde hace unos días estaba con muchas ganas de empezar a ver una nueva serie, que por cierto tengo varias en mi lista que ya las disfruté y aún no la he compartido con todos ustedes, espero pronto ponerlos al día. Para continuar, comencé a ver una serie, que en lo personal se volvió muy adictiva, me envicié tanto, que logré verla completa en dos días, la misma tiene por título The society, consta de una sola temporada (10 episodios), es de drama y mucho misterio. Por ello, quiero compartirles brevemente sin spoilers mi experiencia y si recomiendo o no verla. Sin más que acotar, te invito que te quedes y leas hasta el final.

    The reason why I decided to check it out was for the simple fact that one of the protagonists of the series is one of my favorite actresses; Kathryn Newton. Now, quickly, I'll tell you what it's about. The society, tells the story of a group of teenagers who are strangely transported to their own city, but they are the only ones who live there, so this causes a lot of despair, where they must manage every resource they have and for their part, find out and find a way to find an answer to what has happened and why they are there without their loved ones.

    From the first chapter, I loved the fact that each time the mystery increased this generated me a lot of desire to continue watching it until the end, however, the way the series was structured in terms of time in the episodes was a lot, so, I felt for a moment that there was too much filler and already halfway through the series I was getting too desperate. I didn't want to get discouraged with this, so I continued, since the scenario in general had caught me and I wanted to know how they got there, the only thing I can tell you is that the ending I wasn't expecting, so I've been waiting for the second season, I have a feeling it will be very good.

    La razón por la cual, decidí echarle un vistazo, fue por el simple hecho de que una de las protagonistas de la serie es una de mis actrices favoritas; Kathryn Newton. Ahora bien, rápidamente, les platico sobre qué trata. The society, relata la historia de un grupo de adolescentes que son extrañamente transportados a su propia ciudad, pero, ellos son los únicos que la habitan, por lo que, esto ocasiona mucha desesperación, en donde deberán administrar cada recurso que poseen y por su parte, averiguar y buscar la manera de encontrar una respuesta con relación a que ha sucedido y por qué están allí sin sus seres queridos.

    Desde el primer capítulo, me encantó el hecho de cada vez el misterio aumentaba esto me generaba muchas ganas de continuar viéndola hasta el final, sin embargo, la manera en que se estructuró la serie en cuanto al tiempo en los episodios fue mucho, por lo que, sentía por momento que había demasiado relleno y ya a la mitad de la serie me estaba desesperando demasiado. No quise desanimarme con esto, así que continue, ya que el escenario en general me había atrapado y quería saber cómo fue que llegaron allí, lo único que puedo decirles es que el final no lo esperaba, así que, he estado esperando la segunda temporada, presiento que estará muy buena.

    In addition to this, I didn't like the development of the characters, I think that the acting potential of each protagonist was not fully exploited, I didn't even feel completely identified with any of them. On the other hand, it's crazy how at the beginning they try to create order without adults, they even unite in order to find out what happens, but every time you advance everything turns into revenge and who was better to have control of the situation, even some things happen that I did not like but that's what it's about, we always expect the best in movies and series, and when those scenes happen they make you fall into the harsh reality of how power really works. Later on, divisions are generated bringing more disagreement and clashes between the teens. Also, there will be love scenarios of course, lots of rebound, and some paranormal parts.
    Aunado a ello, el desenvolvimiento de los personajes no me gustó tanto, creo que el potencial actoral de cada protagonista no fue del todo explotado, inclusive no me sentí del todo identificada con ninguno. Por su parte, es una locura como al principio intentan crear orden sin adultos, inclusive se unen con el fin de descubrir lo que sucede, pero cada vez que avanzas todo se torna en venganza y de quién era mejor para tener el control de la situación, inclusive pasan unas cosas que no me gustaron pero, de eso se trata, siempre esperamos lo mejor en la películas y series, y cuando suceden esas escenas te hacen caer en la cruda realidad sobre cómo es que realmente funciona el poder. Más adelante, se generan divisiones trayendo consigo más desacuerdo y enfrentamientos entre los adolescentes. Asimismo, habrán escenarios de amoríos por supuesto, mucho despecho, y algunas partes paranormales.

    I must emphasize that I have higher expectations regarding the second season, I was reading information that since the second season was planned for 2020, which was the time of COVID, Netflix canceled it. Hopefully at some point it can be released, because imagine the intrigue that we were left with and with that ending even more.

    Debo resaltar, que tengo mayores expectativas con respecto a la segunda temporada, estuve leyendo informaciones que en vista de que la segunda temporada se tenía planificada para el 2020, que fueron tiempos de COVID, Netflix la canceló. Ojalá y en algún momento pueda estrenarse, porque imagínense la intriga que nos quedó y con ese final aún más.

    Finally, it is a series that generates a lot of intrigue from the beginning, it entertains you and as I emphasized at the beginning each time it makes you want to keep watching and see what happens, although the context of the story with teenagers is a bit messy and immature. In short, I do recommend it. Finally, based on my experience I give it a score of 3.5/5, Thanks for making it this far movie buff! Blessings.
    Finalmente, es una serie que te genera mucha intriga desde el comienzo, te entretiene y como destaqué al principio cada vez te genera ganas de seguir mirando y ver qué sucede, aunque el contexto de la historia con los adolescentes sea algo desatrosa e inmadura. En definitiva, si la recomiendo. Por último, en base a mi experiencia le doy una puntuación de 3.5/5, ¡Gracias por llegar hasta aquí aficionado del cine! Bendiciones.

  2. The Society (Netflix series): Kind of corny and impractical, but there's potential here@gooddream2606d

    The Society is a teenage drama / mystery series with a cast of characters that would normally be a real turn-off to me but since Netflix recommended it to me I am obligated to watch at least a few episodes.

    The story here is that a bunch of high-school students go on a field trip to the nearby mountains and the buses turn around due to a rockslide and drop them all back off where they were originally sent off by their families at the start. When they return, no one can get in touch with their parents / loved ones and when they eventually walk home they realize that no one is in the city at all except for the students that were on the buses.

    They party at first, celebrating their new freedom but the next day they start to get a bit concerned and go to travel out of town to investigate only to discover that they can't leave and the roads all abruptly end. They are trapped in their own town. This leads to a very Lord of the Flies type situation as a bunch of snotty teenagers have to determine the hierarchy of who remains on their own - and this is actually kind of interesting for the same reason that LOTF was.

    What isn't interesting is the extremely stereotypical social groups that exist inside this group of teenagers and how they are presented.

    The mindless, rich-boy, partying jocks are of course the most irritating. I went to 3 different high schools when I was growing up because my family was going through a "let's move every 6 months to a new city!" phase. I NEVER saw this actual demographic of letter-jacket-wearing neanderthals who just bully everyone.

    There are also the nerdy kids who have a logical solution to everything but of course no one want to listen to them and there are also the outsider kids who you can tell right from the start are going to have an instrumental role in the series because of their untapped brilliance.

    I can see this series fizzling out just like almost every series on Netflix but for the time being it is actually pretty interesting (i'm only 3 episodes in.) I can see them running out of plot lines pretty rapidly. The seemingly obligatory teenage stupidity (such as partying just because you can regardless of how dire the situation at hand happens to be) is annoying, but that might be simply because I am in my 40's and it seems impractical to my adult mind. In order to counteract this annoyance I just keep the PS4 controller in my hand and skip all these parts because they also don't add anything to the story. The series (so far) also doesn't address certain things like who keeps the power on, where they are getting food and water from, etc.

    Overall, i would say that I am definitely going to keep watching, but I end up skipping about 10 minutes of each episode on fast-forward. If you do the same thing, i believe you can enjoy this series.
