Made in Chile!
In nicer news, last sunday I watched with my family the first episode of Profugos, the new HBO series, the first one MADE IN CHILE!!!
The basic plot is not exactly new and it's not exactly flattering. The subject of drugs and corruption pretty much shows up in every tv show that has been promoted from Latin America to the world the last few years. But this time, it's MADE IN CHILE!!!
I'm sorry, it's just... I wasn't really expecting much, I didn't even know what it was about except for the fact it was promoted as a show with a lot of bullets and explosions, things I don't really care about if the context isn't exactly right. But the group of actors that were chosen for this production is the very best that Chile has to offer (like, seriously!), and I LOVE that they decided to use Chile's beautiful and diverse landscape as an extra character in the storytelling.
So, if you get the chance, if you have HBO or you can download it, give it a chance? Even if it is just to see the Chilean geography. It's pretty damn awesome!
