Justo ayer terminé de ver la primera temporada de Cómo defender a un asesino en Netflix. Lo cierto es que la tenía en mi «Lista» para verla, pero no me decidía porque tenía otras series que, a priori, me llamaban más la atención. Sin embargo, vi un comentario positivo en Facebook sobre ella y, estando libre de series, pues comencé a verla y desde el primer capítulo me enganchó.
Me gustó mucho el ritmo que tiene, sin dejarte que te tomes un respiro, con continuos problemas que los protagonistas tienen que resolver. También me pareció acertado el juego de los flashbacks que, en este caso, su función no es otra que de enganche, de ponerte el caramelo en la boca, lo saborees y luego te lo quitan para terminar dándotelo, capítulo a capítulo.
Con que esta primera temporada está bastante bien y la serie cumple con su función, que no es otra que entretenerte y mantenerte con la atención puesta en el desarrollo de la trama.
Vamos a ver qué nos depara la segunda temporada, esperando que se resuelvan las cuestiones que se quedaron abiertas al finalizar la primera temporada.

SINOPSIS
Cinco alumnos son elegidos por su profesora de derecho para que hagan práctica en su bufete, al tiempo que están estudiando la carrera de derecho, pero se ven involucrados en un asesinato que les cambiará la vida para siempre.
Before yesterday I finished watching Bandersnatch on Netflix and the truth is that I was very surprised when the Playstation controller (I see Netflix through a Playstation III just use it for that) began to vibrate and wondering if I had understood how the film worked, I said yes, but the truth is that I had no idea, although when I had to choose whether to have breakfast Frosties or Sugar Puff, I understood what the film was about.
I immediately thought of Julio Cortazar's novel "Rayuela", which has a similar scheme, in which you can read the chapters in the order you create and their endings will be different.
Netflix has made with Bandersnatch a risky bet, a proposal that many will like and others not so much. I'm in the middle. I admit that I liked the film, especially its interactive approach and that, somehow, you are part of the film and that the endings depend on your decisions, although the interactive game, to me at least, I get tired. I have to admit that I'm not much of a game, and maybe that's where you have to look for the answer.
On the other hand the Black Mirror series has its stamp of identity and that is none other than future technologies and their consequences and Bandersnatch moves away from this approach, although if we spin very fine we could find some fit in that stamp of identity.
So Bandersnatch is a film that has to be seen, there is no doubt about that and its lace in the series is another singing.

SYNOPSIS
A young programmer is making a video game in 1984 that is based on a fantasy novel, whose main argument is the multiple options you can take while reading the novel. He tries to replicate this argument in the game he's making.
Te vas sin apenas reconocerme, sin quebrar mis huesos, sin que quede una fugaz imagen en tu cerebro, ni una sombra de mi cuerpo en tus pupilas, sin un terremoto en tu pecho, sin mis manos cálidas; solo sé que te vas.
Te encontraré en las calles de la mano del extraño, tu mirada me atravesará y llegará más allá de tus recuerdos, me buscarás en los rescoldos de tu hoguera, en el vertedero de las efemérides desafectadas, en las fotografías del año que no recuerdas.
Me quedaré solo, manteniendo la mirada, echaré el ancla para permanecer en el bancal de arena, y no dejarme llevar por la tormenta de tu olvido perpetuo.
Entonces me sentaré a esperar a leer lo que me dice el horizonte, a comprender los mapas de los caminos que tengo que recorrer, sin la comprensión de tus palabras, sin el calor de tu presencia, tendré que romper las cadenas de tu fantasma, y enterrarlo en el cementerio de los recuerdos.
We are not in spring, I know, we are in the early winter, but the Canary Islands are very grateful and since a little rain falls and a pinch the sun comes out (the sun always comes out in these lands) the countryside blooms in all its splendor and the flowers do not wait for spring to show us their beauty.
Then the fields, the ravines and any place where there is a piece of land, the vegetation does not lose the opportunity and are filled with greenery.
It is true that temperature helps because in the middle of winter we rarely have temperatures below zero, if at all in the peaks it reaches zero degrees, but on the islands the temperature ranges between 15 and 24 degrees.
So the plants also have spring in winter and bloom when conditions allow it, as is the case of the white tajinastes, which, in many cases, are blooming, like this one I found along with others in the ravine of Tamaraceite.

The tajinaste (Echium decaisnei) is a shrub endemic to the Canary Islands, there are several types and can be found on all islands and its maximum flowering is in spring, but, as is the case, can bloom in winter.
In this ravine there are many white tajinastes and all were blooming or beginning to bloom; a spectacle I say to be photographed.
