Los muertos

Los muertos (2010) 

Season 1: well-done work that has issues mainly in melodramatic dialogues, but otherwise excels in weedy Atlanta and excellent twists (home for the elderly, digging graves, etc.). Some conflicts between characters are defined as bearable, others are completely forgettable, but the atmosphere is daunting enough for a person to go through the first season in the pleasant tension that similarly realistic visions of the end of the world evoke. [75%] Season 2: phenomenal start, the atmosphere of the first two episodes whipped to the max. Then, unfortunately, the redneck syndrome begins, and all the characters (with small Daryl-sumps) degenerate into rednecks chasing their own tails and saying the same things all the time. It’s been a long time since I've hated anyone as much as Dale and his skunk suffering. What would be enough for three episodes is stretched to a good 7 episodes (not counting the strong start and solid ending). Even new acquisitions will have to be defended in the next series, because almost nothing works out here. A very “dead" experience. [55%] Season 3: or how interest became passion and quite sympathetic characters become regular family members. Compared to the second season, everything is good - the beginning is not overdone, the individual situations are played out, the chemistry of the characters is variable, the situations and dilemmas are repeated only minimally (they benefited a lot from the removal of the love triangle), the return of Merle confirms the greatest foreign exchange of WD: the ability to unpredictably change attitudes towards the character on a very small area. The poetics of post-apocalyptic disruption go much further in psychological and ethical depth than any similarly oriented film. The way walkers become more of a facade in the conflicts of extinct civilization is chilling. If it wasn't for the fact that the last episodes of the series sometimes "pull time" a little (13 would be just right), I'd go into euphoric turns. Even so, WD is becoming something I enjoy, and Rick and Daryl are some of the best characters in current TV. [85%] (10.11.2010)
