13 Reasons Why

By Angela A really good television program I have been recently watching is called 13 reasons why created by Brian Yorkey. It is a T.V series available on Netflix about the events leading up to a teen suicide as well as the tragic and problematic aftermath. The main storyline of the series focusses on the life of the late Hannah Baker and how her mistreatment at school eventually led her to take her own life. However, the story is interesting as before Hannah committed suicide, she created a series of tapes documenting 13 reasons why she chose to take her own life, each tape dedicated to a specific person who played a role in her death.

I really enjoyed watching this show and would recommend it to anyone, because although the show is mainly for entertainment purposes, it does a great job raising awareness to the issues of teen suicide as well as sexual assault, and the events that lead up to them. The program also depicts the struggles of a teenager today in high school in a real and authentic way (although somewhat dramatized) and helps many teens going through similar struggles. 13 reasons why spreads an overall positive message of showing love and sympathy to those around you rather than gossiping and spreading false rumours. However, many critics argue that something problematic about the show is that it glamorizes teen suicide, which is something I agree with to a certain extent. Because of the graphic depiction of suicide and the drama surrounding the event, these factors could potentially cause a chain of undesirable and dangerous events.

PASAPALABRA

By Enol My favourite TV programme is Pasapalabra. Pasapalabra is an entertaining programme where the players have to solve some questions to have more seconds for the last game.

Each day there are different players and two of them are famous people, for example football player. I like the programme because you can learn things and words that you hadn´t heard before. There are many different games such as songs and you have to know them, or vocabulary questions.

I would recommend you to see this programme because it is funny and sometimes the players say words without any sense. In my opinion it is the best TV programme in the TV history.

THE WALKIG DEAD

By Gorka Nowadays the TV shows are very popular, because the people watch less films and consuming more TV serious. Personally, my favourite is "The Walking Dead".

This show deals with the extinction of the human race due to a zombie apocalypse. In this show every person on Earth is infected with a new kind of virus which makes you turn into a zombie when you die, people have to take care in order to not be bitten by a zombie because they can turn into one of them. This show has seven seasons each composed by sixteen episode, these episodes can last up to one hour. My favourite character is Michone because she is a strong independent woman who can take care of her self.

To conclude, this show may be appealing to people who like drama, action and zombies.

Grey’s anatomy

By Marta This show talks about a group of first surgeons that over time, they become really close and good friends. The principal character is Grey (played by Ellen Pompeo), she is a very good student and doctor that eventually falls in love with his boss, Doctor Shepper (played by Patrick Dempsey). Grey’s best friend, Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh) also falls in love with his boss. The two surgeons try to get time off from the operations to spend it with their boyfriends but many different and difficult problems arrive.

I enjoy watching this show because in every episode a new thing happens, so you can’t stop watching it. Also, I love medicine, so I enjoy watching how an hospital works in different situations. I recommend this show because apart from the problems they have to face, there are many scenes of humor that I’am sure they are going to make laugh everyone.

TU CARA ME SUENA

By Cristina I’m going to talk about a very popular TV programme , originally , from Spain called ‘Tu Cara Me Suena’.

It is a talent show created by Gestmusic Endemol and it takes place in Barcelona.

Althought the host of the show has always been Manel Fuentes , the judges have changed several times. Only Àngel Llàcer and Carlos Latre have been there since season one (they’re currently on season 5) .The other two judges are the ones that keep changing , this season they are Chenoa and Lolita Flores , two spanish singers.

The contestants are new each season , they all must be celebrities. It doesn’t matter wether they are singers or actors/actresses , … The only thing that matters is that they have to do their best impressionating the singer they have to impressionate that week (they change it every week).

That’s what the show is about , celebrities trying to imitate famous singers. The contestants rehearsal during the week with coaches that teach them and help them with their voice , because they want it to sound as similar as the original singer as possible. They record the process and before performing they show it.

They also have to dress up like the singer and try to look alike them using make up.

Finally once all the contestants have perfomed the judges decide and judge them giving them points. And the one with the highest mark wins that night , they do it every week until the final of the season. When the final arrives they reveal the winner that the audience (not the judges) voted , who wins €30.000 and has to donate the money for good causes.

This talent show has also several spin offs with unknown people ‘Tu Cara No Me Suena Todavía’ and with children ‘Tu Cara Me Suena Mini’.

They are all funny and very entertaining to watch and everyone that wants to have a good time should watch them.

La Que Se Avecina

By Lucas La Que Se Avecina is a Spanish commedy programme. It’s really funny and you can laugh everyday watching it.

It’s about a neighbourhood called Montepinar where about 15 people live.

The episodes are about everyday issues and funny problems between the neighbors.

The main characteristics are Amador (Pablo Chiapella) and Antonio Recio (Jordi Sánchez) I like La Que Se Avecina because the neighbors makes jokes mutually and I like the way they say it.

If you want to spend a fun time I recommend you this comedy programme about the adventures that happen in that neighnourhood.

PEKIN EXPRESS

By LucĂ­a V. Pekin express is a reality-quiz show,and in my opinion it's one of the best I've ever seen.

Evere season the programm changes its contestants,so they are not always the same.

The show its about different pairs who play between them,and whose aim is winning an amount at the end(the amount of money you win depends on the number of amulets you have).

Each year it takes part in a different Asian country. For example,last year it took part on Sri Lanka.

On the on hand I like how entertaining it is,what is more it's very funny. But on the other hand I don't like the fact of not winning a predeterminade quantity,like 100,000â‚Ź.

So,in my opinion the people who read this should watch this programm,because they will surely enjoy it. They will like watching how different people live in other countries,and how kind are the ones who have less.

CSI: NEW YORK

By Carmen CSI: NEW YORK is a crime drama that shows the work of a team of criminologists whose job consists of solving murders using different methods. It’s one of the best crime dramas on TV. In CSI: NEW YORK the detective Mac Taylor (played by Gary Sinise) and all his team work investigating several types of crimes. In this drama there all many kinds of genres such as police, action, crime, drama, mystery, comedy and romance as there are different affairs.

Mac has a good relationship with his co-workers. However he is very shy and he doesn’t share his private life. He is very good at his job in spite of losing his wife in the attack in the Twin Towers. All of them make a great combination resolving crimes as they are the best.

I like this drama because I’m interested in crime, mystery and suspense and also because I love watching how the forensic doctor opens the bodies; that’s why I will study medicine. Although there are a lot of blood and death bodies, you will enjoy this drama

Modern family

By María Suárez García

Modern family is the best comedy on TV nowadays for me. It shows us the lives of a very strange family.

In the programme we can see three types of families.

One of them is the ordinary family composed by three types of children (the girl that studies a lot, the smug and biggest sister and the lazy boy), the bossy mother (Claire Dunphyn played by Julie Bomen) and the stupid father (Phil Dunphyn played by Ty Burrel) The second family is formed by the bossy mother´s brother (Mitchell Pritchett played by Jesse Tyler Fergusa), his funny and immature boyfriend (Cameron Tucher played by Eric Stonestreet) and their little and Chinese daughter.

And the last family it´s about the bossy mother´s father (Jay Pritchett played by Ed O´Nell), his very young and Colombian girlfriend (Gloria Delgado- Pritchett played by Sofia Vergara) and their formal son.

I love to watch the programme because it makes me laugh a lot.

If you think watching these families´ lives sounds boring, you are very confused. Moreover, it´s very entertaining and funny. It´s your perfect serie if you want to have a great time. You have to see it!
