An eye for an eye
I'm so glad they decided to adapt the Gypsy Bride trilogy. The adaptation of the first novel left me very satisfied, as I mentioned some time ago. Then they adapted the second, The Purple Network, and I was eagerly awaiting the adaptation of the third book, The Baby. The series was very well received, and that undoubtedly influenced their decision to greenlight the entire trilogy. I don't mind the changes from the books, which I started reading after watching The Gypsy Bride.
The Baby concludes the trilogy, although there are a couple more books about the BAC and Inspector Blanco, and I'd like them to be adapted as well. There's no official news about that yet, and "La Nena" is still airing, but from what I've seen so far, I'm satisfied and very eager to see how they close the circle that began with The Gypsy Bride and that international trafficking and murder network.
This season and adaptation have one aspect that doesn't quite convince me: the scenes with a certain young character in prison. The scenes and the actor don't entirely convince me, but everything is independent and important to the story. Luckily, they're short and specific scenes, because even though they have the dark, cult-like, and fanatical tone of the network, that actor and his transformation don't ring true for me.
What excites me about this season is the trauma and what's going to happen to Chesca. In the last episode I saw, I enjoyed watching her enter the brothel Terminator-style and completely cross the moral line; her thirst for revenge has surpassed all limits. Her police badge restricted her, and it's time to break all the rules and become an earthquake that will devastate everything.
It's that darkness, after all the suffering her character endured in the second season, that will bring terrible consequences for Chesca. I hope the adaptation and the changes made will impact me in the end. I liked her character from the first season, and she was the one who suffered the consequences of all the intrigue surrounding the purple network. She also knows that after what she's doing now, there's no going back. In the end, he will only find peace, and there is only one way to find it.
Z谩rate remains El Capi's prisoner, forced to do whatever the Gypsy mobster orders. Will this cop be able to escape El Capi? He has him cornered, and I think that with time we will better understand this character. Elena Blanco continues to be an expressionless character, also dealing with the trauma of the Purple Network and her son, but circumstances will force her back into action to take control of the BAC. Ordu帽o remains another favorite of mine, although Vicente Romero's performance here is heavily influenced by him鈥攁n actor who gets the most out of any character he's given.
I invite you to watch La Nena, the final episode of the series that began with La Novia Gitana. If you haven't seen the previous two seasons, catch up; I like the tone of the series. Watch it and tell me what you think in the comments.
Me alegra mucho que hayan decidido adaptar la trilog铆a de La Novia Gitana. La adaptaci贸n de la primera novela me dej贸 muy satisfecha, como ya coment茅 hace tiempo. Despu茅s adaptaron la segunda, La Red P煤rpura, y esperaba con ansias la adaptaci贸n del tercer libro, El Beb茅. La serie tuvo muy buena acogida, y eso sin duda influy贸 en su decisi贸n de dar luz verde a la trilog铆a completa. No me molestan los cambios respecto a los libros, que empec茅 a leer despu茅s de ver La Novia Gitana.
El Beb茅 concluye la trilog铆a, aunque hay un par de libros m谩s sobre la BAC y el inspector Blanco, y me gustar铆a que tambi茅n los adaptaran. Todav铆a no hay noticias oficiales al respecto, y "La Nena" sigue en emisi贸n, pero por lo que he visto hasta ahora, estoy satisfecha y con muchas ganas de ver c贸mo cierran el c铆rculo que empez贸 con La Novia Gitana y esa red internacional de tr谩fico y asesinatos.
Esta temporada y adaptaci贸n tienen un aspecto que no me convence: las escenas con cierto personaje joven en prisi贸n. Las escenas y el actor no me convencen del todo, pero todo es independiente e importante para la historia. Por suerte, son escenas cortas y espec铆ficas, porque aunque tienen el tono oscuro, sectario y fan谩tico de la red, ese actor y su transformaci贸n no me resultan cre铆bles.
Lo que me entusiasma de esta temporada es el trauma y lo que le va a pasar a Chesca. En el 煤ltimo episodio que vi, disfrut茅 vi茅ndola entrar al burdel al estilo Terminator y cruzar completamente la l铆nea moral; su sed de venganza ha superado todos los l铆mites. Su placa de polic铆a la limitaba, y es hora de romper todas las reglas y convertirse en un terremoto que arrasar谩 con todo.
Es esa oscuridad, despu茅s de todo el sufrimiento que padeci贸 su personaje en la segunda temporada, la que traer谩 terribles consecuencias para Chesca. Espero que la adaptaci贸n y los cambios realizados me impacten al final. Me gust贸 su personaje desde la primera temporada, y ella fue quien sufri贸 las consecuencias de toda la intriga de la red p煤rpura. Ella tambi茅n sabe que despu茅s de lo que est谩 haciendo ahora, no hay vuelta atr谩s. Al final, solo encontrar谩 la paz, y solo hay una manera de encontrarla.
Z谩rate sigue prisionero de El Capi, obligado a hacer lo que el mafioso gitano le ordene. 驴Podr谩 este polic铆a escapar de El Capi? Lo tiene contra las cuerdas, y creo que con el tiempo comprenderemos mejor a este personaje. Elena Blanco contin煤a siendo un personaje inexpresivo, lidiando tambi茅n con el trauma de la Red P煤rpura y su hijo, pero las circunstancias la obligar谩n a regresar a la acci贸n para tomar el control del BAC. Ordu帽o sigue siendo otro de mis favoritos, aunque la actuaci贸n de Vicente Romero aqu铆 est谩 muy influenciada por 茅l, un actor que saca el m谩ximo provecho de cualquier personaje que le dan.
Los invito a ver La Nena, el cap铆tulo final de la cadena que comenz贸 con La Novia Gitana. Si no han visto las dos temporadas anteriores, p贸nganse al d铆a; me gusta el tono de la serie. V茅anla y d铆ganme qu茅 les parece en los comentarios.
