Zorro

I am a huge fan of Zorro, been a fan since I was there kid one another kid came from France and would always watch Zorro when he came over. A series was black and white then it was in French, and he only speak French but surprisingly despite this I enjoyed watching the show and having a French speaking friend who I couldn't actually talk to.

That said, the show is all right, an interesting twist to how's our Zorro is betrayed, but it seems like they are trying to tick all the boxes for for some serious virtue signaling. If that was not bad enough, the dialogue in this series is awful it's as if it's written by AI and the actors who are saying those lines don't seem to really bring the words to life in any convincing way.

In the end all I can really say is it's that it is, okay. I mean if there's nothing else on the watch I suppose it can hold you over until something good is released.

The show itself is good. The storyline, the acting, the action, that's all pretty good. I actually like the show except for the English overdub. It seems as though the overdub is trying to reflect the feelings or situations of the characters in the moment, but misses the whole context of them. The overdub lacks everything that you see on the screen. Did they hire professional people to do the overdubs? If they did, they surely did not get their monies worth. That's why I gave it an 8 rating, the overdubs. For that reason I don't see a season 2 going forward. The overdub has to be much, much better than season 1.

Personally I think the first episode is the worst, but it definitely gets better. The only thing Im not liking is his vulnerability. I also didn't like Lolita in the beginning. A little annoying if you asked me. Personally I'd prefer less novela and more action. 😁 And Zorro, He needs to be a bit more badass 💪🏻 Give us some hero action without so many twists.

Oh and I'm actually excited for Red Snake 🐍 Should be fun watching them together.

Anyhow, it's a good start and I'm pretty sure it will get stronger so here I am hoping for a season 2 with more action. Sometimes less is more and keeping it simple goes a long way.

It is remarkably easy to confuse your Zorros. The original book character is considered to be the first ever "superhero" with a secret identity. The original 1920s silent film is an awesome piece of film-making, one most modern viewers will unfortunately never get a chance to see. THE MARK OF ZORRO 1940 is an extraordinary self-contained film that made my IMDb list of the best films of all time (see below). Disney's 1958 version was, at the time, the most expensive TV show of the era, and Disney supervised the show personally. Guy Williams was brilliant, even after the show was cancelled, he remained a lifelong icon in Spain. Antonio Banderas was uncomfortable in his 1990s portrayal, most likely because the deluded writers made him share credit with ... Anthony Hopkins? This version is a well-produced re-imagining. The two leads, Bernardeau and Notni, are so good-looking they could start their own gene pool. The major flaw seems to be the desperate desire of the producers to turn this in a drawn-out multi-year serial, and the story suffers considerably from that. ((Designated "IMDb Top Reviewer."

As one who has been a fan of Zorro since the Walt Disney version, and definitely a fan of the Banderas movies, this interpretation isn't bad at all.

The inclusion of the Native American and the strife they endured is definitely a new twist. The scene settings and location shooting were top notch.

The storyline was intriguing to say the least, the acting on the other hand wasn't Oscar worthy, yet it was very tolerable and enjoyable.

All in all the series was an entertaining experience. I would definitely recommend it to friends and family.

I rated it 7 stars, I wouldn't mind seeing a second season.
