THE CLONE WARS

-

Every great adventure ends. The Clone Wars needed a great ending, deserved a great ending and had a great ending. The animated series “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” started in 2008 and then in 2013 after 6th season of the show was cancelled but in 2020 after Disney purchased Lucasfilm, announced to resurrect the series for a grand finale under the management of the director of the project, Dave Filoni, a man who has been at the birth of this series, during the hardest times and times of worship.

The objective of The Clone Wars has always been to fill the "gap" that existed between Star Wars episode II: Attack of the Clones and Star Wars episode III: Revenge of the Sith. The title said it all, the series showed Clone Wars from the beginning to the end of the conflict. George Lucas planned a long-term series, ignoring criticism and rejection. And finally, the series gained followers among the fandom, offering more interesting elements from the Star Wars universe: Boba Fett's life as an orphan, the arrival of the Nightsisters, the resurrection of Darth Maul, etc. 


The finale season is split up into three distinct story lines, each containing four episodes per arc. The first story line introduces us Clone Force 99, nicknamed “The Bad Batch,” a group of genetically defective clones. Because of their unique defects, each one is highly advanced in a certain field of warfare, giving them the upper hand in combat as a combined team. In this set of episodes, we can see many interesting aspects such as Obi-Wan’s clear knowledge of Anakin and Padmé’s relationship and Anakin’s lean to the dark side. 

In next four episodes we can observe Ahsoka Tano, former Jedi and apprentice of Anakin Skywalker, that leaving her old life, meets two sisters, Trace and Rafa Martez, that try to survive in the criminal underbelly of Coruscant. 

The last arc occurs at the same time as the movie “Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith” and is presented from point of view of Ahsoka Tano and general Rex. After capturing the former Sith Lord Maul on Mandalore, Ahsoka and Rex take him back to the planet of Coruscant to the Jedi Council. But unfortunately, they never arrive to the destination of their trip.

The final episode titled “Victory and Death,” released on Star Wars Day May 4, illustrates the shift from the Galactic Republic to the Galactic Empire. For the audience it is an emotional sequence: the clones that I have grown up with are dead victims of the Empire and Darth Sidious’s plan. As someone who has watched this show since I was a kid, it has been exhilarating to watch this show evolve and grown alongside all these beloved characters.

THE BOYS

Obraz
“The Boys” is a superhero series created by Eric  Kripke  (who created also “Supernatural”) for Prime Video, Amazon’s streaming platform. This series is based on the comic book of the same name written by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson and published by DC Comics between 2006 and 2012. What the Amazon version of “The Boys” did perfectly was update the original message to contemporaneity. The idea of Ennis's comic was to show superheroes as creatures without morality; products that under a false cloak of goodness hide a corrupt ideology. The series, instead, puts an accent on the sinister corporation, Vought, that presents an absolutely inhuman capitalist morality. Source: serialowa.pl “The Boys” shows us the world where heroes work for the powerful corporation Vought International, which markets and monetizes them. The series is focused on two groups: The Seven, superhero team, and the Boys, who want to bring down Vought and superheroes. The Boys are led by Billy Butcher (Karl Urb

EUPHORIA

Recently, streaming platforms are full of various types of young adult and new adult productions, but the original purpose of these series (confrontation with teenage traumas) has been changed into entertainment. “Euphoria” is a very original teen drama series created and written for HBO in 2019 by Sam Levinson (who also wrote and directed Another Happy Day and Assassination Nation). Levinson, seems too old to be a representant of young generation, but his life seems to reflect the drug-sexualized problems of current teenagers. “Euphoria” is based on the Israeli miniseries of the same name. The second season was announced in July 2019 and should be available in 2020, but was delayed due to a COVID-19 pandemic. “Euphoria” received nominations for the British Academy Television Award for Best International Programme. For her performance, Zendaya won the Emmy Award and Satellite Award for Best Actress in a Drama Series.   Source: hollywoodreporter.com The eight-episode series shows a grou
