Darna (filipino drama)
//
www.imdb.com/title/tt1496702/
Very enjoyable/. I had never heard of Darna before watching this
series. The cast were pretty good with a lovely performance from Marian
Riveria as Darna. Ding was a great mixture of obnoxius and cute..
Francesca was proably my favourite human character. Funny as hell. All
the villians were good, and it seemed many if not all were bad because
of bad things that happened to them. Although you could say it was their
choice to go down the evil path. Darna is sexy, but also quite ruthless
when it comes to dealing with her adverseries.. One of them she
dispatches from behind. Although she was saving her boyfriend at the
time. But she is ready to forgive too. The baddies are for the most part
female, and i will pick out two favs it would be falcon lady and the
alien queen.
Mother love is a big theme in this series, whether it be a mother
rejecting her child, a mother searching for her child, a mother
obsessively loving another woman's child.
The series can have you crying and then switch to a comic scene, in which you are still crying, but beginning to laugh..
I found Eduardo a little bit too clingy.
Dr Morgan had one of the worst wigs i have ever seen, and I was happy when he finally got rid of it.
fr mateo was a bit of a busybody.
The snake legion were a bit of a disappointment really..
The fight sequences were nothing to make you go wow.
Ding and Narda/Darna's relationship was very well done.
So if you want a series which includes among other things silly
comedy/tragedy/okay action scenes/vampires/snake people and aliens/,
On the special effects. Well, we'll skip over that.
you might enjoy this.
it's on viki.
8/10
