Before seeing the first chapters of To Heaven: The Series I went to see the prequel film, also directed by Daniel Calparsoro. Little by little, this filmmaker is positioning himself as a safe bet for the platforms of streaming after his success in First video con oil spill operation. And if in that he managed to improve with his second season, With Hasta el cielo: The Series has shaped a sequel that sits on top of the previous feature, giving characters more voice and space for needed action.. A series much more balanced than the film and which will captivate the most frenetic action fans.
The follow-up condition broadens the horizons of Skyward
The big problem I had Up to the sky It wasn’t its cast, nor its characters, nor its technical section. The film failed to balance the dose of action with the cheap drama presented to us on screen. And surprisingly, To Heaven: The Series (missed opportunity not to call him Up to the sky, and beyond) fix this script error with more space to develop characters, subplots that provide depth, and very interesting additions that add, but never subtract.
Thus, the sequel to Up to the sky in television format, it is much better than the first attempt to create a kind of group attractive to the public, as was the group of the professor in La casa de papel. Daniel Calparsoro and his trusted screenwriter, Jorge Guerricaechevarriatake advantage of the greater length of the script to create conflicts that now interest us, but without forgetting that the action is what ensured the success of the film.
Rhythm issues and excessive chorality
like the cinema quinqui, To Heaven: The Series This is the closest thing to a series of its kind. However, the longer duration of the series also works against it: fails to escape pacing issues that persist in similar series, including Operación Marea Negra (also from Daniel Calparsoro). In part, this happens when the series opens up new storylines and introduces secondary characters: although they allow the plot to move forward, in many cases they are just simple additions to the main group.
However, At the same time, I’m grateful that Hasta el cielo: The Series doesn’t stay as one more and better sequel to Hasta el cielo and explores new territoryno matter how much the choir sometimes weighs on him.
Up To The Sky: The Series Is An Action Show That Won’t Let You Breathe
Finally, Up to the sky: The series is first and foremost an action series no matter how many moral dilemmas are presented to us. And while some heists are better than others, it never feels like a rollercoaster of ups and downs. Partly thanks to good job on your castingwho puts his effort into execute sequences that are spectacular in technique, and believable in narration.
Although it seems at all times desperate for the long-awaited renovation, It is a very entertaining product, perfectly executed and with a luxurious distribution. Plus, it has everything a sequel should have: be better than the previous installment, bigger, and more ambitious. SO, Up to the sky: The series is a pleasant surprise in the Netflix catalog that few of us expected.
