Review of local series

Yes I am talking about malaysian series, not all those gossip girl, chuck, house, CSI, heroes, lost, gilmore girls, one tree hill, ugly betty,..ok, too much(kantoi lak aku tgk semua nie). I'm talking about all those gol & gincu, KAMI, kllite, salam pantai timur, island fm, realiti, ghost (should I include mya zara and the gang to this list? Maybe). Ok, the point is we (malaysian) should really hope for a direction change in how we do series in malaysia.

My last review on malaysian tv series was on gol and gincu season 1(of course, are you expecting me to review gerak khas?) and the topic was mainly about Ayu,the villain in the series(which continue until the second season). The second season was...how should I say? Disappointing? Yaa, too much going on, viewers not excited for something new to happen and not enough Nani(oh Syarifah Amani, where art thou?). I am hoping for a spin-off about her(Nani) but still in the setting of gol and gincu.

Now, lets review ghost. As the rumour said(which in turn true), Cheryl Samad was not really the first choice but she is. Understand what I meant? The producer and casting was looking for an actress that has that appeal but not too appealing so not to steal the limelight from Nas. She is the one for the role, I could not imagine anyone else. The story line was superb, keeping viewers waiting, speculating and amazed (like you are watching heroes or lost). The plot developement is arranged like a classical concert, has its own up and down tempo. And the effect...brilliant! So not to name some (Anak pontianak, saka, what is the Cinda story...susuk, look what have I done here? sorry) the effect in ghost are on the same par as those american series. And the songs are not bad too (althought songs in KAMI still catch my heart). Looking forward for new series. Maybe I'll review about malaysia's realiti tv later. Later.
