Ang Katapusan Ni Machete

Gone too soon. Hindi yan yung kanta ni Michael Jackson. I'm referring to Machete - the telenovela of GMA network. Was it about poor ratings the reason why it was axed too soon? Sayang naman. Pinaghandaan pa man din Aljur Abrenica yung character niya bilang Machete.

May jinx kaya sa cast ng Machete? Sana huwag na niyang idamay ang iba pa. Kung ano ang itinanim, siyang bunga.

Machete could have been a better drama. If it targeted a more mature audience, baka nag-click pa sa manonood. Maganda ang plot, and the production as well, pag ang eksena ay pinagmulan ni Machete. Yung modern time ang hindi ko gaanong gusto. Parang kulang. Parang mabagal. Pati acting, hindi okay. Bela's acting is worst. Ryza was over-acting. Pa-cute naman si Aljur. Si Rio Locsin lang ang magaling.

Kung titignan mo, GMA Network risked an expensive production na kung saan ang main cast ay hindi pa subok sa primetime. Yung ibang artista ng GMA Network, bago isalang sa primetime, hinihinog muna. Pinapakiramdaman kung may hatak na sa audience. So, I wonder, why they risked Bela and Ryza sa primetime. Aljur, on the other hand, ay nasubukan na sa primetime with his solo tele-novela "The Last Prince". Why, then, Machete failed to impress a bigger audience.

Gone too soon! Not Michael Jackson's song. I'm referring to "Machete", GMA's drama series starring Aljur Abrenica. It is being axed this week. Was it about poor ratings? Too bad it's short lived considering Aljur prepared for his role for months.

Maybe, the cast was jinxed! Whoever that one is, I hope no other drama series would be infected.

"Machete" could have been a better drama series if it targeted a more mature audience. If what GMA's creative team was to develop the beginnings of Machete, it could have given the audience a different flavor. The casting and acting were not good either. There was something lacking. If it were good, it should have glued me to my seat.

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....
