That says new week says new episode of the HBO Big Little Lies. Check out our criticism of “Serious Mothering” and pay attention to spoilers.
The event miniseries HBO continues this week and after you have unveiled the promotional video of episode 2 of Big Little Lies , we now offer you our criticism of “Serious Mothering” , also broadcast on OCS City Generation HBO. This week the war between Madeline (Reese Witherspoon) and Renata (Laura Dern) continues as Ed (Adam Scott) asserts himself and shows us a new facet of a character much more endearing than in the pilot. It must be said that in front of a woman like his, difficult to impose, but it is with disarming honesty and impetus of determination that Ed places himself on the front of the stage and it succeeds . The series is not full of exemplary husbands and next to the nonexistent father of Ziggy and Perry, hard not to find Ed sympathetic. But let’s get back to Perry (Alexander Skarsgard) and his relationship a disturbing hair with Celeste (Nicole Kidman). As often in this kind of series, the masks fall quickly and under the appearance of a loving and perfect couple, they are two torn beings that one could see.
Perry’s rapid transformation from a loving husband to a violent lover is particularly frightening and one wonders what is the exact nature of her relationship with Celeste – who, in fact, realizes the strangeness of the thing when she Talks with Madeline. How far will the series go? There is some fear of seeing it and it is strongly hoped that this relationship will not become more problematic than it already is by flirting with marital rape – unless the subject is properly addressed. Finally Jane (Shailene Woodley) remains the lost mother who always tries to flee her past – and especially the famous night on the beach – with subtle parallels showing her running . It must be said that ”
Ziggy was not invited to the birthday of Amabella – shocking – and Madeline decides to organize a nursery version of the evening by inviting the whole school Class at a Disney show. In other words, the atmosphere with Renata is stretched to the possible and that the next episode is likely to be full of scathing replies and ingenious low blows. In the end “Serious Mothering” was more revealed to be focused on the different psychoses of the characters rather than on murder always as mysterious . Madeline continues to be exuberant and human at the same time in good Queen Bee as she is while the characters of Jane and Celeste are revealed more slowly. The series offered us a second episode satisfying and surprising but that continues to install a climate quite disturbing and glaucous. The main plot does not lend itself to fun and everything is done, from the soundtrack to the aesthetics of the series, to immerse us in a special atmosphere. While waiting for the continuation of which the promo video is available above, we have already revealed to you who died in Big Little Lies . And you, what did you think of the episode?

The day when … Riverdale has shaken up the kind of teen show!

Hello everyone! On this rainy Sunday, I find you for a whole new chronicle. While I invited you to relive the day when … the superheroes came to power on American television , I wanted to come back to one of the events of this mid-season on the CW : Arrival of Riverdale. Based on the Archie Comics, the series plunges us into an atmosphere as captivating as disturbing contrary to the clichés that usually make law in teen-shows. Riverdale is a modern-day series that draws on the problems of our generation without worrying about the scenarios seen and revisited. For if the series offers us the stereotypes of the characters that we are accustomed to cross in teen shows, it is to better break the codes and denounce the injustices yet too familiar of the high school students . Produced by Greg Berlanti, past master in the art of getting strong messages across the small screen, Riverdale almost did not happen. Indeed, a pilot had already been refused in 2014 before being improved in 2015 when the success of the producer has completely exploded. Thanks to an irreproachable staging, a gifted cast and a red thread, Riverdale brings together all the ingredients that could make her a huge success.
And his first asset lies clearly in his way of associating a very 60’s style with extremely modern characters. This offers a very interesting contrast. And to tell the truth, I had the regular impression of seeing Sandy or Danny de Grease at a time when everything would be allowed including getting out of the boxes. The women who, at that time, had to struggle to impose their views, are real fighters here. Secret, strong, intelligent and determined not to let themselves go, they have everything to inspire us in a world where sexism has unfortunately not disappeared . Everything is subtle in Riverdale and above all, everything is assumed. So yes, the basic recipe follows the pattern of hundreds of teen shows before it but if you really pay attention, you will see that it often comes out of the box. The last episode has brilliantly addressed the delicate subject of slut-shaming unfortunately so present at the time when all our actions and gestures are tracked on the internet.
But Riverdale also stands out by offering to follow the adventures of heroes far from being irreproachable. Even Betty, who seems so smooth and sweet at first, proves to be complex and unsuspected. Where we would have expected clear intrigues from the start, we had the right to total blurring. And yes, the love triangle Betty / Archie / Veronica that would have been so easy to exploit lasted only one episode. Likewise, Archie, crazy in love with his music teacher, nevertheless cracked for Veronica. This translated to perfection the sometimes confused feelings and emotions that one can feel when one is a teenager . Riverdale is also returning to the teen show’s first steps by focusing on young people rather than lingering too long on the problems of adults … at least for now. In doing so, the suspense grows thicker and we are still more delighted to know what really happened in order for Alice Cooper to commit such hatred to Jason Blossom.
Personally, I think I first cracked for the beauty of the pictures. Riverdale has a rarely matched aesthetic that gives it a real identity . A universe clearly enriched by a soundtrack deep and well brought. No question of turning the show into a musical, music serves, embellishes and highlights the storylines in order to give them that timeless dimension that we love so much. Because even if the series were to be canceled in the coming months, it will have left its imprint on the American network. Do not rely on appearances, Riverdale is far from being a teen-show like the others. As for the murder of Jason, I still have the feeling that Miss Grundy is too wary for it to be really possible. Why did you stop Archie from entrusting what he had heard? He never intended to involve her. On the other hand, it is clear that she exerts a very unhealthy influence on the young man. Does it have anything to do with Jason’s disappearance? One thing is certain, this series is a real breath of fresh air in my eyes and after having literally cracked for Dawson, Newport Beach or even Les Frères Scott, I am eager to fall in love with Riverdale.
That’s all for me meltynauts! Do not hesitate to take a look at the day when … Clem has become a must on TF1 . We meet on 26 February for a new chronicle <3 And by then, take care of yourself. Have a comment for Riverdale?

Riverdale: Episode 3, The Revenge of Veronica and Betty, Our Critic

sivertime — Fri, 10 Feb 2017 20:00:53 +0000

A few hours after the broadcast of the episode 3 of Riverdale, discover our review!
Last night, The CW was broadcasting episode 3 of Riverdale . Entitled “Body Double” , the episode dealt with a very current subject and yet quite recurrent in teen-shows: slut shaming. It all starts with Veronica, who agrees to go with Chuck, one of the most popular guys in high school. But after the evening spent with two, Veronica finds herself in the middle of a scandal in high school, with a picture of her that turns on the students’ phones. Determined to take revenge, she embarks on Betty’s adventure and other girls (including Ethel, a character played by Shannon Purser, known for her short role as Barb in Stranger Things) in order to make masks fall in the high school boys. This intrigue once again allowed Betty and Veronica to get closer, thus sealing their friendship for good . The dynamic between the two protagonists is in any case formidable, showing us that this friendship is a real highlight in the series.
Parallel to all this, Archie confessed to having heard a shot at the night when Jason disappeared. Obviously, he left the name of Miss Gundry out of all this, but the end of the episode reveals that the secret relationship between the two characters could well be revealed to the big day soon. In any case, the father of Archie seems to have kiffé the teacher of music and one already imagines complications thereafter between father and son. The hero of the series clearly did not have the most interesting role this week. As we said above, the girls were at the heart of the plot. Besides, Betty’s revenge revealed a rather bizarre side of her personality when she took herself for her sister, Polly, addressing Chuck as if he were Jason . One wonders what the writers reserve us on this side …
One thing is certain: with this episode Riverdale proves once again that this is one of the best series of this mid-season. The mystery intensifies around Jason’s death and the Blossom family seems to hide many secrets . For the moment, no character attracts suspicions, but the whole thing should unveil in the coming weeks. In any case, we are already fan of the series and we look forward to discovering next week on the CW or on Netflix. In the meantime, discover our Top Series of January 2017!
