Der Gärtner

"The Gardener", one of Netflix new series of only 6 episodes, than heavens, is about a manipulative mother who dotes on her emotionally devoid son, who through her manipulative nature, coaxes her son to become a serial killer. An accident caused Elmer to have a brain tumor which makes him emotionless. This translates to the audience who is emotionless watching this poorly dubbed, poorly acted Spanish and ridiculously plotted series of characters who we don't care about, but are at least good looking." Sincere it is only 6 episodes I decided to watch the whole thing. If it was 10 or 12 episodes, I would have bolted after episode 3. Not the worse series on Netflix, but certainly not one of their best!

It was one of series who I wished to see. Starting from the point than I will like it. And, indeed, I liked it. For what I real expect - dark connection between a young man and his mother - the rings, the moments front to photo of her late mother, the dream about house from Mexico are great good points- and for connection of young Elmer with plants.

And , sure, the source of their prosperity , starting with radical reaction of boy to protect his mom, becoming a business.

I repeat, the only significant part was, for me, the romance between Elmer and Violeta, fake at whole. But, sure, the perspective of director matters. And for me, the good part is substancial.

In short, charming dark story.

This is an interesting story and the acting is solid. However, all of the characters are so selfish that I did not enjoy it very much. I almost wish they would all be murdered as it would be very satisfying from a karmic perspective.

The actress who played the mother of the garden, as well as the actress who played another mother in the story were brilliant.

I kept wanting to attach to one of the characters as my protagonist, but one by one they failed the personality test. It goes back to each one, not seeing any goals beyond their own. Disappointing when it could've been so good. I learned the trigger was a good fertilizer.

The gardener. In europe, it's el jardinero. From spain. Only six episodes. A mother ( cecilia suárez ) and son ( álvaro rico ) team of assassins. But while elmer has an odd, strong connection with nature, he has lost his sense of emotions with people. A perfect trait for a killer! When they bury the bodies in their own yard, the plants and trees seem to thrive even more. Elmer and mom are saving up to buy a house far away, where they can leave all this behind. Officers torres and carrera are surprised that they never find the bodies of the missing people. A new job brings a new twist... the next target has already fallen for elmer. Can he carry out the job? If he goes through with it, will the coppers trace the murder back to elmer and his mother? Things begin to unravel. Things are not going according to plan anymore. The casting is good, the english dubbing is excellent. It probably didn't need to be six episodes.... the coppers took a LONG time to start linking the murders. But overall, it's good! Another good miniseries from netflix. And the writers have left it wide open for a season two! But no announcements yet, if there will be more episodes. Directed by rafa montesinos and mikel rueda.

This serie is regular. I watched it and enjoyed it but I won't remind it.

The acting is good. The serie was made to surprise you with things that are almost absurd. Starting with the fact that the main character has no feelings (Whats?) and a lot of other things wanting to put a mask of strangeness to a normal crime-love story.

The fliming is good, a little bit colorfull but fine.

BUt to resume, this serie doesn't add nothing new to series. It is similar to other spanish crime-series in which they tend to be very good. I enjoyed it but I don't belive in a lot of things that figure in the serie.
