Zorro

I was really looking forward to watching this and for the most part I like the series except for the Nah lin character. It was a waste of time and effort. The original story line was great and why mess with success. I understand that people may have wanted to update and add some wrinkles but they went too far. There is enough with the Lolita situation and of course the corruption and protecting the innocent. But otherwise our hero Zorro is handsome and brave and grows into his part as a hero. The supporting characters play their parts well...good guys are good and upstanding and the bad ones are really bad.

Came here expecting a low rating...well...after seeing the low rating i THEN saw that there was only one review written so far...and it had a 10 rating...go figure... i was a big fan of the disney, 'Zorro' when i was a child...so much so, in fact, that my mother actually MADE me a Zorro costume. Definitely one of THE delights of my childhood... i didn't give this a rating because it wasn't really made for me, a 73 year old man...it's made for kids the age that EYE was when i first saw Zorro...something like seven through twelve or thirteen...it's mythical and about a super hero with no super powers...maybe like a Batman of his time...some of the dynamics that make the show better than the original are the special effects and editing...it DEFinitely adds to the overall effect, young people being used to this sort of storytelling.

This, unlike the original, is in Spanish...which i enjoyed. My mother was born and raised in Cuba and so i became somewhat familiar with the language, although the subtitles SUREly helped. ; - ) as an adult i'd say it wasn't BAD...but not something that would make me watch a second episode...though i probably will...some things don't change, i guess...

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 serialized storyline makes for an engaging and suspenseful narrative. The characters are well developed and very likeable. The tone of the show is well balanced between light-hearted and serious, even though this show is darker than the classic Disney Zorro show. In terms of production design and visual effects, the show looks incredible. The action scenes are varied and brilliant. The casting and performances are excellent. While the show is originally in Spanish, the English dub is also great. This show is an incredible reboot of the Zorro franchise and just a great show in general. This show is a perfect template for how to successfully reimagine a franchise while also being faithful to it's roots.

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.
