ZORRO RETURNS!!!
I Love everything about this new "Zorro" series!
So much so that I almost BINGE WATCHED the entire series in one go!
The first episode is a powerful hook that TRAPS THE AUDIENCE.
The WORLD is California in around the 1830s - inhabited by Native Americans, Chinese, the Spanish, the Russians, and the Mexicans.
The CHARACTERS are a range - good and bad - of all of the above.
The PLOT - involves a series of Native American Zorros, until the son of a rich Spanish landowner assumes the role and conflict ensues with the original tribe of Zorro - and everyone else!
COMPLEXITY & CONFLICT - Two Zorros battling Mexican, Spanish & Chinese protagonists - and each other. One vengeful, the other battling Injustice.
Even after one Protagonist is dispatched, another appears in his place - in the form of a twin brother! Worthy of A GREAT SOAP OPERA!!
This SPANISH SERIES was filmed at Souix City Park in Grand Canaria in the Canary Islands. The cinematography & vistas are brilliant and breathtaking.
The ACTORS are all well chosen for their roles & extremely talented.
(I don't understand why the first Zorro in the first episode - played by Cristobal Fernandez of "Ted Lasso" fame doesn't appear in the credits.)
Although not action packed by American standards, the STORY IS COMPELLING, driving the series forward.
KUDOS to any SERIES that puts NATIVE & HISPANIC AMERICANS & POWERFUL WOMAN at the center to its story.
LONG LIVE ZORRO!!!
