Due to undeniable success of "Red Eagle", now to different televisions, through private producers who think they have discovered the garlic soup, have taken to make time series and adventure set in Spain, which, years ago (do not know if you remember) was already an extraordinary TV English, you just have to refer to featuring the great Sancho Gracia, among others: "The Black Mask", "Disasters of War" and, of course, "Curro Jimenez, the forerunner perhaps of this curious product with Telecinco now delights us, "Tierra de Lobos." "Curro Jimenez" was once the "western" Hispanic par excellence (in fact, many episodes were given to directors with experience in "gazpacho" western "in previous years, as Rafael Romero Marchent), and that witness has now collected "Tierra de Lobos", a product that at the time I thought it was a more than English soap opera that mimicked a scarecrow come across the Atlantic (In fact it works María Castro, one of Hollywood's "it" was called "Sin Tetas no paradise ")... What would happen to my surprise to see the first episode, which moved to rural Spain of the mid-nineteenth century all the typical elements of a distinctly American genre: the bank robbers, the saloon, prostitutes, and, of course, the evil landowner who wants a powerful complete control over the region where are located its extensive land and thus per on impoverished people living in it, his evil minions ... With all these elements a priori targeting a male audience "Tierra de Lobos", also and as it can not be otherwise, including aspects that appeal to female audiences, and the ultimate feature in this type of series (remember "The Lady") is the impossible love, whether between persons of different level or branch, or between members of feuding families (already showed us that William Shakespeare).
Therefore, "Tierra de Lobos" is nothing original, as well as being greatly influenced by the great English television production seventies above, enters all the topics of gender to the West but traspolados our old skin of a bull, so even very accurate, it greatly odd-and even funny, to see the lead character holding a Winchester 73 in full English-Portuguese border ... Heck Who would in Spain and a repeating rifle in the nineteenth century?
Moreover, "Tierra de Lobos", so far, is proving extremely repetitive, since all the episodes aired so far about the same thing: the landlord is to make the two brothers puñeta actors using the most colorful methods, and these, of course, always manage to overcome the difficulties it imposes, it is clear that the genre "western" is very limited, but the writers would have to be a little something more original and change the subject. Something difficult, I know, but if the action is repetitive, I know it will solve it with business as usual: sex, which sells more.
And finally, would affect me one thing that has attracted the attention and I can not ignore: it has become clear that "Tierra de Lobos" is significantly influenced the "western", but with English roots, and This inevitably leads me to think that, well before such influences, the creators and writers of the show have turned to another that falls closely: "The Coyote", Joseph Mallo, the undisputed creator of the "western" Hispanic . Even the protagonist TDL Home called Caesar, as Caesar Echagüe, the alter-ego of Coyote ... Coincidence? Naaahhh !!!!!
