As is customary in recent years, The CW is the most applied string of U.S. television, opening the fall season before any other. At most anticipated returns, the second season of The Vampire Diaries began last week and tonight again Gossip Girl - are also two premieres: Nikita and Hellcats, who come to occupy the few free holes in their programming. The chain specializing in risk adolescents products, keeping your grill in the series that are already safe bet and betting on two new series that have absolutely nothing new to offer. However, after seeing the pilots of both, I decided to continue to watch over and save me the pain that I would see the other, not Gossip Girl left to continue wasting time with products even more deplorable. Let's see which is which, and the reasons for my decision.
Nikita
The new series of CW action is approached as a spin-off or sequel to the original film by Luc Besson, Nikita , hard to kill (The Femme Nikita, 1990), their remake American The killer ( Point of No Return, 1993) and the Canadian series starring Peta Wilson, Nikita (La Femme Nikita , 1997-2001), however, do not drink from these titles, something that far from being paradoxical, is entirely logical and expected. Beyond the main plot, you should seek your immediate reference on American television in recent years, and this leads directly to the excellent spy series from JJ Abrams, Alias \u200b\u200b , and the recent work of Joss Whedon frustrated, Dollhouse .
is evident from the first minutes of Nikita that this is not another set of teenagers
the CW, or at least that seems to be the intention. The protagonist, an efficient but not outstanding Maggie Q, confesses to having 27, so the meat becomes geriatric by the standards of the chain. Supplement this 'deficiency' a young supporting cast, appropriately beautiful and terrible multiethnic-plus-players who make the series more easily be integrated into the editorial line of the chain, something absolutely necessary given the audience profile of the CW. To attract a more mature industry, we have members of the secret organization Division . Although from the beginning know that neither is Marshall Flinkman Birkhoff or Topher Brink, and Percy is Arvin Sloan or Adelle DeWitt. Lack of charisma can play all the characters very much against the series. Hopefully the presence of Melinda "Julie Cooper" Clarke will serve for something. As mentioned, Nikita is a right mix between Alias \u200b\u200b and Dollhouse -what not to say that these are two works that make up a genre, of course. The first takes the style and staging, some sequences refer unmistakably to the pilot episode of Abrams. A Whedon series reminds us of the idea of \u200b\u200bbuilding and deconstruction of identity, the protagonist who rebels against the organization that created-by Nikita comes knocking the "ghost" in this episode, and of course the girl power -the girls save the world. We do not know if just for driving a material that has already been proved efficient, but the pilot Nikita, though not innovative in any way, presents a solid and well-structured story that has all the elements efficiently, and most importantly, they engage and entertain. The problem with these products is to find the right tone. And unfortunately, Nikita fails in this department. If the series does not take too seriously to itself, estaríamos ante un producto sobresaliente, y no uno que roza lo camp peligrosamente. Para averiguar si se sacará provecho del potencial de la historia y los personajes, me quedaré al menos un par de episodios más.
Hellcats
El reverso de la moneda de los nuevos estrenos de la CW es Hellcats . Esta serie se ajusta con mayor facilidad a la imagen de la cadena, con
Marti Perkins's story is rooted in the most worn cliches of the genre. A young college cheerleaders that just hates, by quirk of fate, with pompoms in hand to keep his scholarship and continue studying law. Marti has a best friend is not gay, Dan, who fears that the cheerleaders absorb the personality of his friend and this ends forgetting who he is. Of course, Marti breaks into the computer, thanks to its anti-free spirit, and their "innovative" choreography-watching that scene, I vomited a little. The new co-Marti manual also conform to the genre: the bad that happens to be good and befriends the protagonist, an Ashley Tisdale who plays Sharpay Evans if he really had been renovated at the end of High School Musical - the ruthless bitch who fears being replaced and the athletic guy who is interested in the role. Clearly influenced by
Glee, "I wanted some kind of relationship between Kevin and Ryan Murphy, but have not found it," Hellcats seeks the approval of the audience through sports spectacular choreography, which serve as musical numbers, as well as the competition factor, which also involve teachers and coaches, vacuous and boring, how could it be otherwise - in the struggle for survival Hellcats. However, none of this will serve to overcome the tedium involved in attending to predictable and dull story unfolds, exhausted from the first act. Yes, you guessed it, Hellcats not be in my series schedule 2010-2011.
Just one more thing: who wanted to make these transitions between scenes with the animators doing tricks? Whoever it is, must be sacrificed.
