30 Coins Season 1 Review and Analysis
The series is produced by award-winning Spanish producer, director, and screenwriter Alex de la Iglesias. The current series of ghosts and demons have been created out of all. But the highlight of this story that is clearly different is It’s an old monster horror series. Strange characters in the story will be like a flickering monster. There is a clunky movement that uses puppets of the past. Get a full scary mood like the movie The Thing. But in fact, this story uses almost all the CG and makes the image look like that. Which every monster in this story will look terrifying like a classic work, unlike the newer movies that are familiar Until if anyone doesn’t know to watch, they may think that this is an old series at all, but really, this is the intention of the creators who want this kind of mood back directly.
In addition to the classic flick of a monster. The story also focuses on Gothic architecture as the main mainstay, such as Pedraza, in the story, full of ancient buildings. Many Vatican-related scenes were also enriched with CG, adding to it even more Gothic grandeur. which makes the story look so magical that goes with the theme of the story and also use the tone of the picture intended to look like a classic old movie at this point, if you see the picture through It might even be thought of as a low-cost job. because the image will be blurry Not very clear like the old film movies. (It’s not about the resolution of HBO Go), which the first time watching should feel like everyone’s eyes. But over time, I feel that using old tones like this really helps the story look more classic.
As for the story in the story, it is considered well done. Despite being a supernatural monster from the start but the story continues to investigate various stories. with scientific belief to prove by the role, the protagonist priest has a clue about exorcism until being moved to this faraway place. He then tried to find answers to the supernatural happenings in the city by catching faults and applying theories on how these things happened, like cows giving birth to humans. a person who was possessed by a ghost A girl who can predict the death. Many things will be set in 1 episode per episode. Strange and unique. There are all kinds of strange creatures. with a very brutal horror mystery the bishop creates an explanation that makes viewers hesitate about where the story will go. when what he saw was definitely supernatural but there are explanations that are plausible to believe that may not be the case. It’s like a storyline trying to constantly shake the truth of the supernatural.
The story also directly references Christianity. through a different interpretation of the Bible. that defies belief from the Vatican Encourage viewers to think about how convincing the story is to ask back to the Vatican and the biblical details. But it’s not an anti-Christian view. rather, it is a different view that the text of the Bible may be adapted from what it should be. This story has an intro scene simulating Jesus being crucified that is very creepy. and it involves a different interpretation of Judas from the Bible.
In the character creation story, the characters stand out very much. Pastor Vergara is not a typical pastor. but is a boxer, has a wild look, looks formidable, likes to collect firearms Decide what to do immediately. But it’s wisely mentored, of which Vergara is the main protagonist who goes through the whole story with secrets from the past and coins involved. There are also two main protagonists in the story, Mayor Paco, a naive person. like to help people but did not intend to become a politician. This came because his wife, who runs a big business in the city, wanted to use his position as a business line.
Thus, it turns into a deep conflict with Elena, the heroine of the story, a city vet who accidentally gets involved in a strange event in the first place. And wanting to find answers to these matters together with Paco makes both have deep feelings for each other. which the story moves on knowing that this relationship is wrong, But I can’t resist because both must go through various events in the story together all the time. In which this story is highly rated, there are many scenes of her completely naked SEX with a lot of investment.
The series has a total of 8 episodes. The precedence of the first 6 episodes will be very interesting with the trio of supernatural investigative stories of the main protagonists. It doesn’t make sense in some moments like a comedy movie, but it’s actually a classic of the past that always had this kind of emotion. It was a deliberate intention not to make sense of the creator directly. But the story has problems in the last 2 episodes due to the great paving of the story. Peaking more and more every episode but ended in a faint as if exhausted and continued until it was very disappointing. But it’s not that bad. because the story is still interesting to watch until the end then prepare for 30 Coins Season 2, which has been announced and waiting for release in 2023.
30 Coins Season 1 Review: The Last Words
Spanish horror mystery series set in modern times. but deliberately made it out to look old fashioned like a classic retro movie, including monsters, pictures, stories to give the audience a traditional horror mood. Which must try to test and see if you like it or not with this style of work but if anyone is looking for a horror monster movie that is brutally rated, this is it!
