The Wire shows a realistic vision about Baltimore’s life, specially focus on drug trafficking. A lot of its characters have been based on real persons of Baltimore in USA. Few secondary actors are amateurs who perform their own character in the real life because they considerer that the story is so real that they want to participate in it.

The central subject in the development of series is the use of electronic vigilance technologies for Police, thanks to it its title The Wire (La Escucha in Spanish). This technologies appear reflected in both faces of Law, in a way systems and techniques used for criminals to avoid vigilance and in the other way systems used by Police.

Series starts with the links between two apparently opposite worlds and develops gradually strong cross between situations and characters of the two antagonist faces of society. Good and Evil faces of world are together because they need theirs to exist. To be in a face or in the other face of the line is often a perspective thing.

Charlie Parker (Charlie Sheen) is a sought-after bachelor with a beautiful beach house, a big car in the garage, and a special gift to woo women.
However, his dream life is to see something disturbed by the arrival of his brother Alan (Jon Cryer) and his son, Jake (August T. Jones).
Alan just got divorced and is deeply depressed, so he moved to his brother's house. Both brothers are like night and day, but despite their encounters there is one thing they agree: Jake.
Both brothers agree to create a stable home for children in Charlie's house. Thus, together these "Two and a Half Men", they initiate a path where they face the challenges they mature slowly.
But the story does not end here, let alone, to complicate matters further, we found a bunch of eccentric characters, such as self-centered and controlling mother of Charlie and Alan, Evelyn (Holland Taylor), former wife of Alan , Judith (Marin Hinkle), who just found their identity, Rose (Melanie Lynskey), a very attractive woman, unconventional and possibly a little crazy, a neighbor of Charlie, who had a brief affair and who is determined to stay in your life the way it is needed, and Berta (Conchata Ferrell), the dominant housekeeper Charlie.

Opinion:

I think this series is fantastic. In my opinion, "Two and a Half Men"is a comic series that involves, although the series is predictable and without grace monent. Sometimes I wait to advertising break to get up off the Sofa.


No is hardly surprising that this magnifies series has gained many awards and is made out in many countries. Have emitted seven periods of this series, now issues the number eight. It seems that they will not give more because they have fired one of the principal actors. I will give much trouble.

The Big Bang Theory

Penny is messy and disorganized, but appears to like it that way. After several relationships with tall, handsome but few intelligent, just having a relationship with Leonard. is always harassed by Howard. Although is very different from the boys is learning to live with the geeks they are.

The recommendation:

- Hello friends! I just want to recommend the series that I liked The big bang theory, because to talk about new sitcoms, it seems that new chapters will be front and center of the girls and even the girlfriend of Wolowitz render him independent.

Over the chapters I check that Sheldon and Amy are the most stable couple in the series because maintained a curious relationship with Skype.
With respect to the argument of the girls, it seems that Amy, Penny and Bernadette will be front and center from now on. The girls are forming a very strong bond, but Penny is still feeling the ugly duckling because her new friends are scientists.
So women feel like Penny Rarita the group. In addition, Amy Farrah Fowler believes that she and Penny are best friends, Let's see what will happen.

In the second part, Wolowitz have to make a big decision: choosing whether it is to live with his mother and moves in with his girlfriend. Lorre says that if Wolowitz still living with his mother will not be easy to maintain a relationship. Prady says Bernadette is going to set foot on earth and it will force a choice. Although never completely lose the insults and quarrels of Howard with his mother.
It will give a lot to say this series!

Cuéntame is based on the American series called “The Wonder Years”, which shares a lot of points in common with Cuéntame. For example, in both series is there a character who tells the story in the form of a voice in off, in the context of a lot of years after. In the case of “Cuéntame”, the narrator is the youngest son, Carlos. The name of the series is based on a very popular song of the seventies, singed by Ana Belen (In fact, it is the song which sounds in the opening of the series).

I recommend this series because is very funny, and you can see in it some of the best Spanish actors, like Imanol Arias, Juan Echanove or Tony Leblanc. In my opinion, each period of time has his own personality and essence, and Cuéntame is able to show perfectly each essence of each period of time in our history.
