TV SERIES

GAME OF THRONES (SEASON 2)

THE BEST

Based on the novel book A Song of Ice and Fire, from George R.R. Martin, the story has a huge club of fans all over the world. But you don't have to particularly be a fan of this type of narrative to enjoy this powerful TV adaptation. In short, it's about a medieval dispute. Seven noble families fight for control of the mythical land of Westeros.

If you haven't read the book nor have watched the first season, it will take some time do understand which sides are which, but you'll surely be surprise by the pervasive political and sexual intrigue. Even if it seems to have lost some of the initial magical and mystical strengh and intensity, Game of Thrones remains as one of the best on the air.

NYC 22 (SEASON 1)

THE WORST

The structure of the first episode of NYC 22 takes us back to the old Hill Street Blues, a famous TV series of the 80ies, but after 30 years of cops running and driving like crazy in pursuit of the bad guys, we are now presented with six rookie cops fresh out of the academy.

Brand new cops in action on NYC 22

The don't run nor drive. In fact they walk as they talk with each other. Not in the pace of New York, it's more Malibu rhythm without the music.
After all, they are dropped on a street corner to patrol a foot beat and they don't really know what they are doing there. Neither do we (waiting for the next job, i suppose).

Unconvincing acting in a surrealistic presentation from CBS.
It's also not the line of work director's James Mangold is used to.
