Anecdoted or skipped?
There is a certain feeling that this type of multi -generation drama is usually; It tends to move slowly, reveals the secrets of the family and their friends in parts and pieces. But the feeling that you tend to get from them is a certain warmth, even if the family members are not walking all the time. This tends to fill the gaps in the plot, as we see in a new family drama from South Africa.
summer: Anecdoted or skipped?
The opening snapshot: Pacific Ocean, circulating. We raise and see the village of Simon in South Africa, and a car driven on the road along the water.
essence: Martin Field (Frank Rutnabach) returns to his hometown with his son Tizitian (Jean Comperenk) and his daughter Lucy (Evangelina Haluk). After the death of his wife, Julia (Amalia Auiz), he wanted to fulfill the promise of returning to Simon, where both grew up, and they met and fell in love. But for most children’s lives, they lived in Cypress. Lucy sees it as a new adventure, but Tizitian is not happy with this step, especially as he leaves his girlfriend behind him.
They arrived at the home of Martin’s parents, Jack (André Jacobs), a former naval officer who is not a great admirer that his son Mahfouz Bahri and Willma (Terry Norton). His younger brother Gavin (Tirion Qi) also lives there. Wilma has already volunteered Martin’s services to the Local Penguin Institute, where Martin is unintentionally discovered when he was reprimanded due to almost running a bird that does not flight around the city.
When he goes to find a boat to start achieving his goal and Julia to clean the local Gulf, he finds a rusty ship in the market that looks familiar to him. She is currently owned by Rebecca Suleiman (Monique Rockman), and she is a friend since her studies. She was a chef in New York, her restaurants got Michelin stars, but she surrendered and returned home to run the family restaurant when her father died. It also inherited the boat. Currently, she is Javin together, but in a very informal way that Javin was 100 percent in favor.
Of course, Martin is chasing the death of Julia, where he discovers when he goes into diving with Gavin and Rebecca. He still felt that this type of Father Jack, and builds a new dissatisfaction with him because Jack still believed that his forty son is immature and irresponsible. But the tension with Tizitian surpasses all of this, and comes to his head when he enters Tizitian with Wesley de Pleisis (Matthew Vie), whose father Hans (the head axis) seems to have an impact on the city. Tizitian ends up escaping after his girlfriend wrote a plane ticket to return to Cypress.
What appears will remind you of it? summer Like EvoodOr modern offers like Sullivan crossing.
We took: summer It is one of those slow and gifts that have a general conspiracy to start-here, he is a person returning to his hometown after the death of his wife-but he ends deeply in the history of his personalities, from multi-generations family sedition to old and new romantic relationships. In the first episode, the show can do a good job in creating the world around Martin Field, even if there are some errors in telling the stories along the way.
The mistakes are not simple, and this is mainly because they feel that they will get a conspiracy point very early if they are logically. Often it includes tenditian escapes. We did not even realize that the family used to live in Cypress until we saw the volleyball ticket from Tractian’s friend appearing on his phone, and we looked at the airport code. Then we heard the word “Cypress” at least 4 times. It looked like a strange part of writing to us.
Then Martin and Rebecca are driving around the train stations looking for tenditian, when what they should do is waiting for him at the airport; It is not as if they did not know where he was going. Finally, a reserve tenditian appears, but we have no idea if he has returned alone (he was kissed by a girl in the Friend Group in Wesley) or if someone finds it.
The reason is that we enter into such details about one conspiracy point is that we hope that it does not hope that it does not indicate writing for the series. As we get very superficial information about how Julia dies, although it may be associated with diving or water. Rebecca may want more Gavin and vice versa, but she thinks he wants to stay unofficial; Its low expectations are confirmed, at least for the audience, when Gavin faces a waitress (Tania Van Gran) with which he seems to have a romantic link.
Looking at the fact that the first season of summer It consists of 52 loops (!), There may be a good reason for these details in small pieces. But the good thing in not accelerating the plot is that it gives relations between every person at the time of the field family for construction, growth and transformation. There is definitely a warmth in chemistry among actors, even when their characters fight together on old and new beef. This will carry the series while exploring tangles.
Sex and skin: no one.
Parting snapshot: While Rebecca Martin and his family see watching the penguins from the boat bracket that he just sold to them, it revolves and gets rid of sadness in her eyes. There is definitely an element that may be in this sadness.
Sleeping asleep: We will give this to the Penguins wandering in the city (if you are thinking, “The penguins? In South Africa?”, Watch the documents Penguin city To learn more).
Most of the pilot’s line: The battle between Tizitian Wesley begins for very stupid reasons. Then again, they are teenage children, so it doesn’t take much to remove them, right?
Our invitation: splash. summer It is an offer that you need to be in the long run, because telling stories will not move quickly. What should carry you, though, is the scene of South Africa, the warm multi -generation drama, and the discovery of the cross penalty.
