+ Axiom2001 Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Last evening I viewed the last five episodes of eight of Smiley, a very entertaining and "interesting" story. I'd invite all of you who have Netflix to tune in. I know I enjoyed it from many angles. handiacefailure and liubit 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSR Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 I posted about Smiley in the "Anything good on Netflix?" thread. I liked it so much I watched it a second time just a week later. I asked the moderators to move this thread into TV and Streaming, hope you don't mind. thomas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handiacefailure Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Watched the last episode tonight. Great series. Wonder if they will do a season two, the way they ended it, they don't need to. I downloaded the entire season on my IPAD last week for a long flight Sunday and watched the first six episodes and just got around to the last two tonight. Easy to binge watch on a weekend. What was the DVD that Bruno gave Alex on New Years Eve? thomas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno gave Alex Bringing Up Baby, a favorite movie for both of them.

Wonder if they will do a season two, the way they ended it, they don't need to. Smiley the Netflix series is based on a play that was a smash hit in Barcelona 10 years ago. When playwright Guillem Clua was asked to adapt it into a series, he had to make some big changes: expanding the main storyline, developing secondary storylines, and translating it into Spanish from Catalan. Yes, Smiley (the play) has a sequel, and Clua very much wants to adapt the sequel into a series as well, but that depends on Netflix. Early signs are promising: Smiley is the 3rd most-streamed series in Spain and in the top 10 in a number of Latin American countries, especially Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay. Carlos Curvas already had a big fan base in Argentina (Chile & Peru as well) because the original Merlí was a huge Netflix success in those countries. Trivia tidbit: Ramón Pujols, who plays nerdy fellow architect Ramón in the series, actually played 2-gym-going Alex in the play. Pujols was less muscle-bound than Carlos Cuevas but just as hunky, imho.

scrtlovr Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Is it just me or did the movie, Bros "borrow" a lot of the story lines and character dynamics from Smiley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
