Atlantika: A Fantasy TV Series

Atlantika is GMA-7's newest primetime offering, the most ambitious and phenomenal production according to the network. Most ambitious in a sense that part of the scenes are shoot underwater. Truly, in the making of Atlantika, Marissa Floirendo doing the underwater cinematographic shoots is enough to impress televiewers to watch this tele-fantasy series.

Water or underwater production is expensive. The movie "Waterworld" [Kevin Costner] is an example. I yet have to find out how much was spent in this movie. In American TV, "The Man from Atlantis" [Patrick Duffy] was a hit in the 80's. It is in this series where viewers saw a new form of swimming underwater -- the wave; and Patrick was very good at it. Since then, all other sea characters in movies followed the same swimming technique.

I wish that Atlantika becomes a phenomenon too as Encantadia did. To date, Encantadia holds the title of the most phenomenal TV series. In the reality-TV genre, Starstruck 1 is the most phenomenal. In the Pilipino-dubbed Korean TV series category, "Jewel in the Palace" is the most phenomenal making "Endless Love 1" second. "Marimar" is the most phenomenal in the "Pilipino-dubbed Latino series" category.

Dyesebel Learns the Truth

Week 2 Episodes The next episodes after the first week were not as exciting as the first few days. In a few words, I can give you the synopsis. Dyesebel was able to save Fredo and hid him inside a cave. Bukanding (Paolo Ballesteros), her foster brother, persuaded her to go home for fear of the queen's punishment. Back to the cave, they found out that Fredo was bitten by a sea snake. Dyesebel left to look for cure. While she was gone, Berbola found Fredo inside the cave. She, too, fell in love with Fredo. In Sireneya, the queen learned about mermaids swimming up to the shore (which is forbidden). The queen had them hunted. Erebus (Alfred Vargas) warned Dyesebel and Bukanding that they were able to leave the cave and went to a shore where Fredo recovered. Berbola pointed at Dyesebel as the mermaid who violated the law. Dyesebel was sentenced to death; but Erebus told the queen that Berbula, too, was guilty of the same crime. The queen could not sentence her daughter Berbula to death....
