I love it when plans go wrong. Don’t assume I’m misquoting The A Team here! It’s just that, when the plot of an episode merely goes from point A to point B, a show can become quite tiring. Continue reading

El Ministerio del Tiempo 1×04 Review: A Bargaining on Time
I adore meta episodes. I revel in them. I rewatch them to catch hidden messages, and the fourth outing of MdT gives me this and much more. In fact, this is arguably the most meta episode of the show up until the series 3 finale in what I would like to call the ICU (Isabel Cinematic Universe). Continue reading

El Ministerio del Tiempo 1×01 Review: Time Is What it Is
I have been a fan of El Ministerio del Tiempo since its inception back in 2015. How couldn’t I? Isabel had just ended, and here were its creators, the Olivares brothers (RIP Pablo), giving us a time travelling show that starred king Fernando himself and was going to have a cameo by the queen and Cisneros, plus many of the actors were going to reappear playing different characters.

El Ministerio del Tiempo 3×13 Review: Between Two Times
Let’s just forget that this might be the last episode ever of El Ministerio del Tiempo, and discuss: wasn’t it the best way to end a season/series? Full of self-references, not just to previous plots of the show, but to the behind-the-scenes story as well. But let’s start from the beginning. Continue reading

El Ministerio del Tiempo 3×08 Review: Time of Conquest
I’m not telling you anything new when I say that, after the Spanish discovery of America, plenty of natives were treated poorly and stripped of their culture and belongings. Well, this is the story of the Spaniard who did in fact respect their traditions. Continue reading
El Ministerio del Tiempo 3×04 Review: Time of the Enlightened
What an interesting history Spain has, so full of world-wide known celebrated characters. We know painters like Goya through their works, but there is much more behind the canvas, and that is the sort of thing we get to learn with El Ministerio del Tiempo. Continue reading
