Description

Jean Reno plays Hèctor in A Private Affair. The veteran actor imbibes the true qualities of an artist and throws open an in-depth presentation. His heavy yet controlled voice accentuates every scene Jean is a part of. Moreover, the actor aces hidden sarcasm flawlessly using his impromptu behavioral arcs. The writers have done a great job in preparing a fulfilling tale. Though I initially expected the series to explore a different case in each episode, it instead went on to focus on one religiously, which works well. Additionally, the show manages to avoid dull moments for the most part. The series has a very cheerful environment because of the main character, Martina. She has a very chirpy personality that lifts the entire series throughout. She is a woman of opinion and does not want to be pushed over by society just because she is a woman. She wants to follow in her father’s footsteps and become a police officer. The series shows us how Martina and Hector overcome the obstacles and the prejudices they face as they go on their journey of investigation. In the end, I learned an effective new method of carrying excessive luggage and I also solved the Mysterious Case of The Missing Station. Like the dog that did not bark in the night, Marleybone turned out not to be missing at all. But given the era that it is set in, women are not allowed to join the police, leaving Marina to her own devices as she hones her detective skills.

Aura Garrido ( The Innocent) as Marina Quiroga, a girl with a detective's soul but who cannot join the police force. The staging, in this sense, sometimes seems very unnatural due to its excessive theatricality. Everything is too high and clean, impinging on certain air of unreality that accompanies a ton of chronological licenses. Spain, at the end of the 40s, was immersed in Francoist repression and a woman with the freedom and cheekiness of Marina Quiroga would be inconceivable.As to the keystone comedy type chase scenes and some of the other supposedy amusing touches. Unnecessary and they don't work in what should have and could have been a serious piece of drama and been directed and written that way. I didn’t find anything wrong in A Private Affair. This is precisely due to the show’s ability to convince me wholly about the surroundings of the 1940s. Final Word So expect lots of over the top drama, running along rooftops, dangling from towers and cat and mouse chases as the intrepid duo try to catch the serial killer. The length of the second show is a little longer because there was a bit of boredom in the mid-part of this series. In this, many times the main character has been taken out by putting it in the problem. So when we are coming out again and again in dangerous situations, then we as an audience tension and care stops failing because we understand that these characters will come out of every situation. And this is the only problem in this series as well. In this series also there is tension and suspense in starting but later this series disappoints about the same thing. Despite having some issues like this, in my eyes, it is a fantastic and drastic show. Un romanzo da cui emerge la voglia di riscatto personale, il desiderio e lo stupore di scoprirsi amata e desiderata, la fuga dalla famiglia per affermare se stessi lasciandosi alle spalle ogni ombra, la furia e la violenza che esplodono lasciando dietro di se dolore e morte. La speranza di poter ricominciare con la propria determinazione ma anche con il prezioso aiuto di chi ci vuole bene.

L'autrice non si limita a raccontare solo storie d'amore, d'amicizia e d'inganni ma è anche l'occasione per descrivere la vita di un soldato e in particolar modo cosa si prova ad essere la moglie o la compagna di uno di loro (una vita per niente invidiabile). As to the lead character. Well, it's not the actress's fault. She can only do what the director and the writer tells her to do. But the character is just incredibly annoying to the point we just had to give up watching after only two episodes. In my opinion, this show was fabulous and mind-blowing.This series has all the elements we want to see in a top-class series and in a good detective show. If you watch only the first episode of this series, then your interest will increase in this series. Its characters and mystery will start to interest you. The mystery of this series will keep you engaged from a decent start. And what are the investigation processes of Mariana and the actors of this show They are actually watchable? And you will find a fun kind of relationship dynamic between Mariana and Hector. a private matter takes us to the city of Vigo at the end of the 40s to meet Marina Quiroga, a woman of high class and detective skills thanks to the teachings of her father, a deceased police officer who has always been the mirror in which look at each otherSecondly, this isn't a dark and brooding Nordic Noir-style show. It is more of an old-fashioned crime caper. I’ll start off by saying that I actually really enjoyed the main characters in this book; however; was a little disappointed when it got to the end and only 3/4 of the characters had actually met. Not only did they not even meet Dani; they were never even aware of her story. Therefore while I really enjoyed Dani’s story; it kind of made her a bit pointless. I was looking forward to seeing how she’d interact with the other 3 but nothing ever materialised so that was quite disappointing. She is accompanied on her adventure by her faithful butler Héctor, a kind of Watson who is always attentive to details, helpful and audacious, who manages to turn Marina’s investigations around. She, for her part, will often be forced to fight to remove the obstacles that stand in her way because of her gender bias and the unusualness of a female figure with her abilities and ambitions. The show is fascinating and also thrilling, to some extent, thanks to the layered plot. Furthermore, it gives you enough reasons to cherish the surroundings of the 1940s. Storyline Her brother Arturo (Pablo Molinero) is now the new Commissioner, and Marina is seen as nothing more than a flighty woman who needs to be married off. That is until she accidentally stumbles across a murder.

I felt the camaraderie between Aura Garrido and Jean Reno worked as a charm for the series. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been this refreshing. Performances They may very well make a second season, I just don't know if I would be bothered enough to watch it. A Private Affair TV Series Cast I don't know what it is, but although Jean Reno is one of our favourite French actors, he just doesn't work here in the role of the butler. Neither my wife nor myself could put our finger on it but he just wasn't convincing. We don't know why, but he doesn't work.A murder mystery must hook the viewer to the core. I didn’t have many expectations from A Private Affair; however, the moment it began, the show completely denounced my prejudice. It comes wrapped in clever humor, sparkling suspense, and a touch of thrill.

E' un romanzo corposo e profondo (i temi affrontati sono interessanti) ma i repentini cambi di punti di vista e i salti nel tempo non rendono sempre scorrevole questo libro. The casting is solid (who knew famous French actor Jean Reno was also fluent in Spanish!), but the characters are deliberately dumbed down to ensure that Marina comes across as the only intelligent person in the show. Director: Paolo Taviani. Screenplay: Paolo Taviani, Vittorio Taviani, freely inspired by the novel “Una questione private” by Beppe Fenoglio. Camera (color, widescreen): Simone Zampagni. Editor: Roberto Perpignani. Music: Giuliano Taviani, Carmelo Travia.A Private Affair is an original series recently released on Prime Video. This Spanish series has a total of eight episodes, with each having a time duration of fifty minutes. Now, for some bad: (1) the show is full of anachronisms (as others have mentioned), normally not a big problem but in this case you start to notice them and they become a bit intrusive; (2) the main character actively and annoyingly avoids opportunities to reveal the bad guy on many occasions; (3) several times she switches from "this person must be the murderer" to "I'm going off alone with this person to find a clue" in a matter of seconds; (4) she has superhuman powers of recovery from serious injuries; (5) the ultimate motivation for the murders is not at all convincing. Keep reading my review to know how several other things fare for A Private Affair.

She is a bold upper caste girl who has the genes of a detective but cannot join the police force due to gender inequality.
