#COVID-19-BINGE-FEST - Merlí

Who wants something with an international flavour this weekend?



It's Catalan series Merlí.

I cannot believe since this whole COVID-19 situation happened, I have blasted through all 40 episodes. Yes that is right 40!

Merlí is moving, great and the way all high school shows should be. Raw and over within three seasons. High School on Riverdale is heading into it's long fifth year. People are not in high school forever so nor should our TV series be in high school forever.

Unfortunately your youth doesn't last forever. Sadly.

So Merlí, it's a real ride through main character and Merlí is hired in Àngel Guimerà High School as the philosophy teacher.

We meet a number of students, teachers and family members over the course of the three seasons and my word is there some drama!

A spin off series Merlí: Sapere Aude aired late last year focusing on the very handsome Carlos Cuevas as Pol Rubio. It is also due to feature other main cast member and son of Merlí, David Solans as Bruno Bergero.

The show has romance, drama and real coming of age issues.

This is really one of the best shows I have come into contact with since I have been running the #COVID-19-BINGE-FEST. Expect this to be rated highly come the end of this whole thing.

Merlí comes highly recommended PERIOD.
