13 Reasons Why By Pablo It starts with the main character who is Clay Jensen, he received a box with thirteen cassette tapes. The person who speaks in that tapes was Hannah Baker, one of his friends who has committed suicide. He entered in shock when he discovered that in that tapes, Hannah incriminates every person which has caused her suicide. They were: Justin, Jessica, Alex, Tyler, Courtney, Marcus, Zach, Ryan, Justin (another time), Sheri, Clay, Brays, Sr Porter. But the most important tape was the tape that talks about Clay, because she said that he wasn’t at fault and her best moments being alive were with him.
CASTLE By LucĂa
Castle is a crime drama that shows how 4 policemen and women solve murders in New York. I think is the best crime drama that I have seen. When the mystery books' writer Richard Castle (Nathan Fillion) doesn't have inspiration, as always she knocks on his door again when a murderer imitates the murders from his books. He starts to collaborate with the detective Kate Beckett (Stana Katic) and in contrast that she hates him, he finds a new inspiration for a new book saga (Nikki Heat) so he decides to accompany her in her investigations. However, she don't want it and her boss obligate her. The plot goes around the different cases that they must solve and, although Beckett didn't like Castle, how their relationship changes a lot, and also with the other policemen, EspĂłsito and Ryan, and the forensic Lannie. I reccomend a lot this programme because even though you don't like crime dramas, it also has got love and a piece of humor and it could like you.

EL HORMIGUERO By Miguel A. My favourite tv programme is El Hormiguero , it was first shown the 24 september 2006 , el hormiguero is a talk show presented by Pablo Motos . The programme was shown on Spain's Cuatro channel until June 2011 and since then the tv show moved to Antena 3 . The show is called el Hormiguero because the main characters are two ants . The guests are usually famous people from all over the world , they can be actor that are showing a new film at cinemas or a play at theatres , singers that have released a new album , famous people that just go there for fun and also some politicians or famous stars who have won something important .

FARIÑA By Raquel
My favourite programme is Fariña. It is a series which can be watched in 'Antena 3' every Wednesday at 22:40. This series is filmed in Galicia, a Spanish community located in the North, and deals with the problem of drug trafficking in its estuaries, in particular the ones which are situated around the small town of Cambados and specially, in the estuary of Arousa . The series is based on a book written by Nacho Carretero, who explains drug trafficking in Galicia in the 80s and 90s. In my opinion is an interesting programme because I couldn't imagine that this happened and is still happening in Spain.
The main charecters are Sito Miñanco and his wife, Camila, the Charlín family, the Oubiña family, Manuel Bustelo and Luis Colon. These men and their families are all of them involved in drug dealing. Other important characters are Ruben Darío, a policeman who is triying to arrest them and 'Terito' who was the leader. At that time trafficking with tobacco meant just a fine instead of going to prison. Unfortunately for them, the law changed and trafficking with tobacco and drugs were equally punished. When this happened all of them want to start doing business with Colombian drug traffickers but Terito didn't , so the others started trafficking with cocaine and Terito left the gang. Next, everybody in Spain, specially teenagers,
tried cocaine and they became addicted. That's why later the mothers of these teenagers start a kind of revolution to arrest these drug traffickers in Galicia. My favourite part is when they got into trouble with the police because of the drugs. The first season started a few weeks ago and it is now in episode number 8, so I recommend everyone to watch it because this is a part of Spain's history and nowadays it is still affecting us. All the episodes can be wachted in the web of 'Antena 3', which is called 'Atresplayer'. If you don't like series and you prefer reading the book, you should know that it is prohibited in Spain at the moment because it talks about how the national government and the government of Galicia were also involved. Maybe you can find on the internet ... I'm sure that if you start watching FariĂąa, you will enjoy it.
HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER By Carla How to Get away with Murder shows the difficult lives of a lawyer and five of her students who found themselves involved in several murders and crimes. It is a combination of legal drama, mystery and thriller. In my opinion, it's the best crime drama I’ve ever seen. Annalise Keating played by Viola Davis is a renowned law professor at the University of Philadelphia who, in the first class of the year, chose five students (Wes Gibbins, Connor Walsh, Laurel Castillo, Michaela Pratt and Asher Millstone) to help her with real cases. There are also some affairs between the main characters. What I like the most is how you become addicted to the series because of the use of flashbacks and flashforwards. However, sometimes you’d prefer not to know what is going to happen. You will enjoy watching How to Get away with Murder if you like mystery and drama.
LA CASA DE PAPEL By Diego AntuĂąa This is an adventorous crime series that also have some parts in which drama is important too. The plot is about a group of thieves plans the "robbery of the century" to the Museum of the National Factory of Currency and Stamp of Spain with the objective of obtaining 2,400 million euros. The mastermind behind the coup is "The Professor", a man who is really clever and tells all his pupils every single detail. For five months, the band plans each movement taking into account all setbacks, opportunities and scenarios. When the day arrives, he is locked up in the factory for eleven days with 67 hostages. The goal will be to get out with the newly printed money.
THE MAIN CHARACTERS Alvaro Morte( the teacher), interprets the head of the brand.
Úrsula Corberó (Tokyo): She is one of the leaders of the group of thieves that carries out the coup against the Mint. She is 28 years old and a native of Barcelona. He falls in love with Río.
Pedro Alonso (Berlin/ Andrés de fonollosa): the leader of the group,the only one we know his name because the proffesor asigned him a name although he called it by his real one. The reason was hat they were brothers and until the end the spectator don´t figure out.
Miguel Herrán (Rio), a boy who has spent his childhood programming and hacking. A teenager with a look on the Net. That ability and that knowledge made him the technical head of a security company. However, his knowledge was not followed by a very mature character. He fall in love with Río and he does crazy thing in order not to lose her.
LA QUE SE AVECINA BY MIGUEL C. La que se avecina is a comedy television serie that it´s about the life of the neighbors of a community called Montepinar. The strangest things happen to these neighbors to make them entertained. Every day while I am having lunch I always put in this program because I laugh a lot with it.
Two of the main characters are Antonio Recio (played by Jordi Sánchez) and Amador Rivas (played by Pablo Chiapella). I laugh a lot with these two characters because they have very crazy ideas to solve their problems. In last season there were 16 characters and in the new one that will start this year there will be new characters like Paco León.
In my opinion, it is a very funny series but sometimes they repeat the same programs and the same jokes and it is a bit heavy. But if you see them for the first time I'm sure you're going to laugh a lot.
MERLI By Sara I am going to talk about Merli which is one of my favourite series of all time . It has just finished and it started in 2015. It’s a comedy-drama series about a high school in Barcelona. In my opinion, this is one of the best series for teenagers as it deals with some problems that we all can relate to. Merli shows a philosophy teacher called with the same name as the show, which encourages students to think freely with unusual methods, which will divide the opinions of his students, teachers and families. Each episode includes the ideas of some great thinkers or schools, such as the peripatetic loos, which is the name he will give to his students as he wants them to think about every single thing like the ancient group. Merli who is played by Francesc Orella helps his son Bruno (played by Bruno Solans) and his friends Pol ( played by Carlos Cuevas ) , Tania (played by Elisabet Casanovas ) and many others. He also links the different and important thinkers with the problems of their students sometimes. I enjoy watching Merli because its characters are different from those from other series and realistic. I think you’ll like this series as it is a combination of drama and comedy that works really well and I am sure you will enjoy the romance in this show.
RuPaul’s Drag Race By Laura
RuPaul’s Drag Race is reality TV show and contest whose contestants are drag queens. It’s hosted by RuPaul who is also the main judge of the competition. The programme is televised on VH1, an American channel. Every week there’s a new episode, it has a main challenge and a runway challenge. Sometimes there’s a mini challenge before this ones in case that the main challenge is divided in teams, so whoever wins the mini challenge gets to pick the members of her team. Main challenges challenges can be very diverse: from acting, singing, dancing, all of that together in a musical to sewing challenges, in this case the main challenge goes together with the runway challenge because it’s very difficult to have a lot of outfits ready in just a week. Runway challenges are really fun to watch and every week they have a different theme. One of the most famous main challenges of the show which is in every season is Snatch Game, the queens have to participate in a contest while impersonating a celebrity and staying on character the whole time. I personally like it because it’s very funny. Runway themes are one of my favorite part because they are really different from each other,
for example “Death Becomes Her” by Violet Chachki (right) and “Red For Filth” by Trixie Mattel (left)
In between the challenges you can watch how the queens work in the workroom and how they are to each other, sometimes there’s some drama or even fights between some of them, and it kind of makes the programme more interesting. Even if you see them not getting along well in that moment, they are usually friends and after that they can fix the things between them. After the runway, all the queens stand in front of the judges, and they tell the queens that didn’t stand out in the main challenge that they are safe and they judge the tops and bottoms of the week. Every week there will be a winner and two queens in the bottom two. These two have to lipsync for their lives against each other in front of the judges and the other queens to save themselves from elimination. They have to be the most entertaining so they won’t get eliminated, the queen who fails on doing that gets out of the competition and it continues during some weeks until they have the final top 3 from which the winner of the season will be chosen. The winner is usually the one who had won the most main challenges.
Currently, there are 9 complete seasons and the 10th one is being televised right now. They usually have around 12-14 12 episodes each ach one. There’s also another type of season which are called “Rupaul’s Drag Race All Stars” in which around 10 fan favorite queens of past seasons who didn’t win the crown compete again for a space in the “Hall of Fame”, this kind of programme, has now 3 complete seasons. I totally recommend this TV programme to everyone even if you are not that familiar with drag queens or queer culture in general, it’s very entertaining and I am 100% sure it will surprise you in some ways, for example in the amazing lip li syncs like Sasha Velour’s iconic moment in the lip sync of the song “So Emotional” by Whitney Houston:
It’s maybe difficult to get used to their slang at first but it’s not that difficult once you start watching a pair of episodes and maybe you’ll even use it without realising!
Hope you enjoyed it, thank you for reading,
Sports 4 By David Deportes Cuatro is my favorite my Tv programme. It is about the sports and they tell you everything about them. I think the programme is very interesting and shows you all the goals from every important league. There are only three announcers Manolo Lama , Manu Carreùo y Nico Abad. I enjoy watching it because it shows all the activity , the news and the rumors related to football and all related to other sports like tennis or others during all the weekend. I don´t like that if you are a fan from not a big team they don´t dedicate too much time for you. Most of the time they talk about the big teams in Spain and in other countries. Even if you like other sports, you will enjoy this programme because is very funny.
Terra Nova By Arturo
Terra Nova is an American program that was emited on America on 2011and now it is available on Netflix. The main characters is the Shannon family, composed of five members and commander Tayler represented by Stephen Lang. I love this program because of its spectacular effects. I think you should see it because it is very famous is USA and once you have started to see it you can not stop.
THE 100 By Diego B. The 100 is my favourite TV programme.It shows you how people live in the space for many years after the pollution came to the Earth. So the story is about how they send 100 people to the Earth and how they survive on it with strange animals and people. The main characters are Clarke Griffin, Octavia Blake, Bellamy Blake and Jasper Jordan. I enjoys watching it because it has scenes with surprising and adventure moments. In my opinion, this TV programme is the best programme if you want to have a great time.
THE BIG BANG THEORY By Idoia My favourite programme is called The Big Bang Theory, this is a sit-com (comedy). This programme was emitted on TNT and TBS (Estados Unidos), ATB (Bolivia), Ecuavisa (Ecuador), SBT (Brasil), Televisiete (Guatemala), Canal 10 (Uruguay), TNT and Neox (EspaĂąa). In my opinion, is a fantastic programme with a lot of humour.
The series begins with the arrival of Penny, an aspiring actress, to the neighboring apartment, shared by Sheldon and Leonard, two physicists who work at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). Leonard falls in love from the first moment of Penny. Leonard and Sheldon are prominent scientists at Caltech, friends of Howard and Raj, who are as cold as strangers, away from the concerns and problems of ordinary people. In the course of the series it is shown the difficulty of male protagonists to interact with people from outside their environment, mainly female, giving rise to comical situations. The series contains a lot of very comical situations and references to principles and physical theories, although simplified to the maximum to be understood quickly by the audience. In my opinion, this series is fantastic. It is very entertaining and funny. And unlike other series, The Big Bang Theory has dialogues with elements of physics and chemistry, mathematics ... Although with a very easy understanding

Kaley Cuoco

I think that the readers will enjoy the humour in this show, also the dialogs, the actors and actresses. But this is my opinion, it depends on the person. You have to see the series to see if you agree with my opinion or just think that it is an unoriginal series.
