On Sunday night TV3 aired the season finale episode of As if it were yesterday, a special to close out plots and open new ones that create expectations for September. An unbearable toll. Also the budget limitations, which are evident with the lack of sets that seem to condition and limit the plot lines. Master of Ceremonies had a pace of acceleration worthy of theCatch me if you can. He seemed to be in a hurry, conveying a chaotic feeling. The final straw was Jaume Borja, with an inexplicable need to end every intervention by shouting and with an overacting and exaggerated assessment that recalls old-fashioned television. Ester Pagès, always impeccable in The Jungle, was swept away by the show. Her role was the most interesting because it gave more depth to the series, and instead, she was relegated to a supporting role.
The gala broke the tone of the closing episode. The writers of the As if it were yesterday They wanted to convey a certain final calm. An atmosphere abruptly broken by the frightened gala. There was no emotional continuity because it was canned. One of the party's major problems was the script, which functioned by simply accumulating guests who had to be dispatched with a couple of questions each. The interviews lacked any common thread or coherence. Llucià Ferrer appealed to obvious things like "the ease with which actors memorize texts" and asked them superficial and generic questions that had little connection to the plots and specific aspects of the show. The host didn't seem very knowledgeable about the series. The viewers of the As if it were yesterday They expected a more precise approach, in keeping with the fidelity they've maintained. The actors seemed bewildered. They went there to answer the most absurd questions and watch how Borja treated the audience as if they were little children watching clowns on TV. It's incomprehensible how many times the presenters used the term reveal inappropriately. It means to cause loss of sleep, which should not be confused with reveal, which is the correct verb when it comes to revealing (or not) what's going to happen. The best part was the traditional bloopers video. It was a missed opportunity for the actors to reflect on conflicts, scenes, and dialogue with sample snippets. Those who prepared the gala didn't seem to have ever followed the As if it were yesterday.
