Charles V abandons Spanish TV until after Christmas – Blasting News

On Monday November 23, TVE surprised us with a double strand of Carlos, King Emperor . After a series of episodes in which death gave no respite to the Spanish court he lived a hard setback. The Emperor (Alvaro Cervantes) fell off his horse and kept everyone in suspense and the kingdom to the brink. Fortunately he recovered and slowly return to the chores themselves an empire. However, the misery would not abandon the Spaniards, since in the second chapter death snatched his empress, Isabel of Portugal (Blanca Suarez).

No doubt the series was fired at a good time, since the death of Isabel of Portugal marked a before and after in the life of Carlos V , but did with good results? No to be a Lynx to realize that the series has not achieved the same results as its predecessor, Isabel. comments on social networks are much smaller and very different opinions. What are the reasons for their lack of success?

First, it is very complicated to tell 40-year reign in 17 chapters. This rush to tell everything that happened during those years that the series can not breathe or evolve naturally. We can not forget that in addition to telling the story of Carlos, the series also tells the history of France, England, Netherlands, New Spain … And during that period of Spain’s history was the history of Europe. The Catholic Monarchs laid the groundwork for his grandson created his empire, but it seems that Carlos, King Emperor has failed to pick up everything left strewn Elizabeth . In this production, the audience could see the evolution of the love story of Elizabeth (Michelle Jenner) and Fernando (Rodolfo Sancho), growth of Elizabeth as monarch, the relations with his subjects … The audience lived with the series, Isabel lived with his struggle for the throne and wept on his deathbed. He had three seasons and although the writers had to summarize, the characters could evolve. However, the 13 chapters that Spanish TV has issued Carlos, King Emperor have been a succession of surprises. The public does not have time to empathize with them. For what is this? I can think of no better answer than this: “powerful gentleman is Don Dinero”

Elizabeth Sergio Peris-Mencheta <. /> strong> complained about the lack of funds in the series. Many of the battles

that are recounted in it could not shoot in conditions due to lack of money. In our Caesar so does he. We have just seen battles in these 13 chapters. Surely, if a series of this style fell to the HBO , the financial contribution would be very different. This leads us to ask the following question: why in Spain we do not invest in television series? Simply, we do not assimilate our culture that television, cinema or theater can contribute to economic growth of a country. That makes financing a television product is difficult and you have to adapt to certain characteristics to get issued and remain on the screen.

Finally, there are differences between the distribution of Isabel and Carlos, King Emperor . While at first almost all the cast harbored and helped Isabel a rookie in the second relapse in many important roles with actors and actresses less traveled or with little experience in this type of production. It seems to be more important to have familiar faces a higher quality work. Nevertheless, the production of the public broadcaster worth it.

After Christmas, the public can see the end of the reign of Carlos V , which marked a turning point after in the history of Spain. Only time will tell if they also mark a before and after in the history of Spanish TV .
