Today I will continue telling about the series I’ve been watching and I will also announce some I will be watching later this month. On Thursdays I was watching Scandal, an ABC series which follows Olivia Pope, an attorney with a special relationship with the white house and the president of the United States. This is a really good series, though I must say I used to like it more in the first two seasons, now the plot has gotten a little too twisted. Another series I would watch on Thursdays was The Vampire diaries. This is a classic for me, since I have been following Mystic Falls’ drama since it started long nine seasons ago. This season was the first one in which Elena was not going to appear, and I cannot say I have missed her a lot. It is interesting how they are now playing with flash-backs and how the series has gotten a little darker. Therefore, I will continue watching this series happily. In addition to this I was watching the spin-off of the previous series, The Origi...

Today I will continue with the series I’ve been watching. However, before going into the series I’ve been watching on Wednesdays I will like to add some series to the list I made about Tuesdays. This is because with the New Year there has been some series, which have been releasing new episodes, as well as, a new series I started to check out. The first would be Teen Wolf, which has continued with the fifth season. This fifth season it’s not really appealing to me. I find the plot quite twisted and difficult to follow. Although I must say I keep enjoying this series and I will continue watching it, as with each season starts a new plot, making the series interesting and avoiding being repetitive. Then, on Tuesdays new episodes of Pretty Little liars are released. I have just seen the first episode released and I liked it, nonetheless in my opinions I would have been better if they would have separated these new episodes from the previous ones by starting a new season, becau...

  As you know I have finally finish the Harry Potter book series this month. As I finish reading the book, “Harry Potter and the deadly hallows”, I re-watched the movies in which it was turned. The last book of Harry Potter was divided and turned into two movies, path that has been followed by other book series turned into movies, such as “Twilight”, “The Hunger Games” and “Divergent”. I can see that because it was a really long book it might seem obvious to be divided, however I don’t find it necessary since more than half of the book seemed a little tedious and uneventful. Both of the movies did a great job adapting the book, there are differences but they are minimal and the landscapes, and the characters the scenarios are amazingly portrayed. I haven’t jet seen a book to movie adaptation as well made as Harry potter. The first movie did an amazing job as it turned to be an interesting movie, even if the half of the book that corresponded to wasn’t really action-pack. T...
