Die Rote Königin

Thriller, intrigue and more thriller, I love it. Although the bar was very high thanks to the magnificent book, the series hooks you more and more as the chapters go by and for that reason alone, if you like intrigue, it is worth watching, so if you have not read the book yet, take advantage and Watch the series before because you will probably like it more. Regarding the main actors, I have read many different opinions but my opinion is that they fit perfectly and together they are even better. I congratulate you Juan Gómez-Jurado for wanting to make a series of one of your books, I hope it is the first of many and I encourage other writers to do the same because very good series would come out.

What a disappointment!!! I approached this thriller TV series blindly trusting the many positive reviews... nothing could be more wrong nowadays, where professional reviews are often entrusted to business interests and amateur ones to donkeys who are satisfied with banal plots, some visual effects, and ridiculous twists from kids' films. This series, a mix between The Silent of the Lambs, Saw, True Detective, Nikita... and many others even mentioned, here with an excellent sense of humour, by the actors during the development of the plot, does not make an impression anywhere, and, indeed, it leaks from all of them. It's a loop of scenes with no purpose, and ends in themselves, to arrive at nothing, except a very banal ending, which could have been resolved in a 5 minute short film. The beginning is promising, certainly intriguing, as the plot unravels, it makes us wonder why we wasted almost 7 hours for... NOTHING!!! THE VOID!!! Negative, from all points of view, even the characters do not create any empathy. FAILED!!!

A disparate couple defines the success of Red Queen series. I don't care if the series is similar to or well adapted to Juan Manuel Gomez Jurado's Reina Roja (Red Queen) novel. Should it be that way? Absolutely not. I think what really matters is that a series gives you something good, something that you're not used to or may be that day was a really bad one and just want to forget about it. Red Queen gives you that and more. Vicky Luengo acts like she were Antonia since a long time ago. It wasn't easy but she made it. What can I say about Jon? Hovik Keuchkerian is the best Sancho Panza I could ever think of. Moreover I guess JM Gomez Jurado pretended that when created this characters. The missing parts fits like a glove: CGI, secondary roles ( don't forget Jon's mother actress and her famous Spanish omelette!), Madrid locations and so on. I would say this series is a great candidate to conquer your hearts. Please do not hesitate: Watch it and you will love it,

I've seen the series in one sitting and to say I loved it may be an understatement. Very good adaptation!!!

It is always risky to adapt a successful novel, with many followers, but the result has been much more than satisfactory. We love Antonia and Jon very much for their adventures in the novels and in the series they have been very well characterized.

Well-chosen locations, good production, it shows that every detail has been taken care of, even the actor who plays the Control Assistant does a good job.

I hope I don't have to wait too long to be able to enjoy the adaptations of the next two novels.

If you have read the novels from the Red Queen's universe, you won't be indiferent. And if you haven't read them yet, it doesn't matter: you'll enjoy the series anyways.

Noir series with mysteries for discover and with plot twists that will make you want for more. With a season finale that is asking for a second season immediately.

The characters are well defined, and although the readers of the novels have imagined their ones while reading, the Jon and Antonia of the series are faithful to the books.

The soundtrack is spectacular and it makes you enter in the mystery.

I recommend it and looking forward for more.
