Die Rote Königin

I am Spaniard so I was really excited about this one. I really loved to write a good review about something well made in my country like "Antidisturbios" for example. So, consequently I started to watch this based on a successful best seller. But I was wrong thinking this will be great. I am not sure why the hype of scoring this production as a 10.

First, the story is full of cliches, predictable and certainly boring. You can predict almost 95% of the story without reading the book.

Second, the acting seems forced and full of cliches again. Sometimes it looks like a soap opera mixed with Matrix and Saw. Terrible. Even the lead woman does a great job, sometimes is annoying because of her dialogues.

Last, the stereotypes here again are forced and nothing to do with the reality from my country. People from Vasc Country speak Euskera not like here a d*mb invented language.

Anyway, I do not recommend this series if you have watched similar ones. Boring, predictable and not clever. Even the stereotypes are wrong.

I don't like adaptations, from books, comics, games to series or movies, they always differ from what my mind has imagined and they don't let me and I am not able to enjoy them.

Red Queen scared me a lot, I was very reluctant to see it for fear of seeing what I found, of destroying the novel, the plot, the characters.

Matching or surpassing the novel was impossible; They are neither my Jon nor my Antonia, but you love them anyway. Brilliant/delirious moments like the one with the potato omelet make it unique.

As I said, it's not the novel, but you can't miss it. Looking forward to more Gómez Jurado's universe on the small screen. LOBA NEGRA YA!!!!

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.

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.

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.
