Series I've been watching on... Tuesdays

Today I will continue with the series I’ve been watching this fall. On Tuesdays new episodes from three different series I follow aired.

First, “The Flash” which second season started this fall and will continue after the Christmas break. “The Flash” follows Barry Allen, who got struck by a lightning and since then is able to move faster than any other human being. He soon will find out that the lightning bolt that gave him his powers was caused by the particulate accelerator that failed, and that also gave super-powers to other human beings, transforming them into meta-humans.  He will fight these meta-humans as the flash.
In the second season when Barry destroyed the murderer of his mother he created a portal that communicates this universe with an alternative one, in which meta-humans also exist. In that universe, there were also two speedsters, one was transported to this universe with no powers, the other, called Zoom, is trying to kill Barry by sending meta-humans from his universe. This season has been interesting, however I haven’t liked it as much as the first one since it lacks of an ultimate goal. In the first one you could see everything was leading towards finding the murderer of Barry’s mother; however in this one is destroying Zoom, from who we do not know anything about other that he is bad. Nonetheless, I think the flash is an amazing series worth watching.


The same thing happens with the second series I’m going to talk about, since it seems to have lost its direction. iZombie is a series that follows Liv, who was a medical residence about to get married turns into a zombie. She changes her life drastically becomes a forensic scientist, with access to human brains without the necessity to kill, and uses the fact that brains give her visions about the human lives to help solve murders. In this season while Liv, continues with her role as police psychic, Mayor has been killing zombies under the owner of Max Rager orders.  As I said, the episodes so far have been more about the cases and less about finding a cure or finding the reason why zombies are zombies. However, I think it is an enjoyable series, funny and easy to follow and I recommend it.


And last but not least we have “Finding Carter”, an MTV series. The series follows Carter a teenage girl whose life turns upside down when she discovers she was kidnaped as a baby and the woman she thinks it is her mother is actually her kidnapper. Then she moves with her real parents who have been looking for her since she disappeared. In this family she has a twin sister and a little brother. However, she doesn’t find easy to stop loving her mother and start loving some strangers, even if she is supposed to. In this second half of the second season Carter has to deal with the fact that she has a new brother and that he lives with Lori. Apart from that a lot of things start changing in her life, starting with the fact that she wants to leave school and start working in a bar.

Finding Carter is a drama series with a lot of twists and turns. I have been enjoying this season as much as the previous ones. It’s a raw series with no taboos, teenagers do what they do in real life, they drink and they go out and it is because of that that I really like it and highly recommend it.

Thanks for reading,
