Welcome to ALUX.com!
The place where future billionaires come to get inspired.
Hello Aluxers and welcome back!
We’re continuing our short series before the holidays, today with 5 tv shows we loved.
Truth be told, we didn’t have as much time to explore everything, because we were caught up with projects,
but whenever we got the chance we enjoyed chilling with a good series. Here are our 5 top picks:
We’re fans of The Crown.
It shows the inner workings of the British monarchy, beautifully presented.
Diplomacy, luxury, geo-political pressures and in the context of the royal family.
They’ve done an incredible job hand-picking the most important events and showcasing them in a way that not only doesn’t bore the watcher to death,
but it’s genuinely fascinating.
Why we recommend the crown:
Superb cinematography, high-level power plays, the struggle to maintain relevance in a world where monarchy is fading away.
If you haven’t watched Chernobyl, shame on you!
It’s only 1 season and it dives into the impact corruption can have on the general population.
The case at Chernobyl should be understood by everyone who’s holding public office.
There’s been an uprise against governments, against corruption and their inability to perform in their respective tasks.
Many countries will find similarities between the chain of command and what’s actually happening in the real world.
Both Chernobyl and the crown are more documentaries than tv shows but presented in a way that keeps you in.
Shows like these 2 are the perfect way to teach history.
We think 2019 was the year Casa de Papel finally went mainstream.
Every once in a while comes one of these productions that strike the right cord with the audience.
Casa de Papel or The Money Heist is exactly that.
The perfect combination of money, teamwork, strategy and entertainment.
We even loved the fact that it was in Spanish, proving that when Netflix money starts pouring in into outer markets, you’re getting a lot more attention to detail.
Nobody really wants to watch Arrow or Flash.
Casa de Papel fills a void in quality and storytelling that’s been missing for a while.
If we were to summarize it, it’s like Death Note & Prison Break had a child who speaks Spanish and decides to rob a bank.
Definitely recommend!
We feel like in 2019 religion has become more or less center stage.
Jordan Peterson is a best selling author, Kanye drops Jesus is King and we’re seeing this slowly build up momentum.
What we really hope is that The Handmaid’s tale remains a work of fiction as this trend continues to pick up speed.
Although in our opinions, this season was the weakest of the series, we’re thrilled to see where it goes.
Not to mention that the cinematography has always been on point.
And our last item on the list is:
We couldn’t make this video without including Game of Thrones.
This final season has been… beautiful, but weird. Lemme put it this way.
Game of Thrones was like a celebrity you’ve been crushing on for a while, then you started dating.
You’re already hooked, everything is going great, the dates are amazing, the tension builds up and when the time comes to seal the deal, they finish prematurely.
You kinda put it behind you, still love them for how they made you feel in the beginning but it wasn’t really want you were expecting
there was too much build-up for it to be just this,
not to mention that you were left with a bunch of questions and you’re probably never going to hear from them again.
D&D were being hit with more money than they could ever dream of, they had Star Wars in the bag, all the planets were aligning,
so they decided to cut it short and move on to other things, and in the process actively ruing what could have been a Lord of the Rings level series.
The ending is important because nobody is going to pick up a new series if they know it’s gonna end poorly.
Even George said, 3 more seasons were needed to do the story justice.
But this has been so profitable for HBO that there’s no way they’ll stop milking this cash-cow anytime soon,
with many different storylines from Westeros being under development right now.
Which brings us to today’s question:
