The worst series of the week The New Look and the self-sabotage of Juliette Binoche
The best series of the week Feud: Capote vs.
The Swans: With this lineup, what could go wrong?
Ted
, the foul-mouthed teddy bear created by
Seth McFarlane
, made almost $700 million from his two films.
Released in 2012 and 2015 and with
Mark Wahlberg
as the human protagonist,
Ted
and
Ted 2
were two box office phenomena.
Ten years later, the doll returns in the form of a television series.
And no, it's not better.
In fact it's even worse.
Ted
and its sequel were crushed by critics, but what does it matter when the public flocks to the cinemas to laugh at the rudeness of a toy.
And not only in the United States, where we can understand the pull of
McFarlane
and
Wahlberg
, but throughout the world.
More than half of the two films' gross was made in theaters outside the United States.
Unlike other low-level humorous phenomena, the gañán bear worked internationally.
Live to see, see to believe
.
It is thus understood that many North American economic media consider that
Ted
, the series, is one of the great assets that
Peacock , the
streaming
platform
that broadcasts it in the US, has.
In Spain, the home of the piggy bear is
SkyShowtime
, which brings together content from
Paramount
or
Universal
, among other well-known entertainment brands.
The business moves of these companies are a much more interesting topic of conversation than
Ted
.
It is as if within this text that you are reading right now there was another, much more interesting one, wanting to come out, develop and shine.
But here we have come to talk about the digital teddy bear who lives with the
Bennetts
, a family from a town in Massachusetts in 1993. His best friend is the teenager of that family, and with him he lives incredible adventures between joints, farts and jokes. tits and asses.
The typical series that in 2024 should not exist.
Of course, in 2012 and 2015, who asked for the two films that precede it.
And both were very successful.
So why not recover its elegant essence and make money again.
That in the general meetings of shareholders of some of the most important companies in
show business people
can be talking about
Ted
makes me laugh and sad.
This is what we have come to.
Next to
Ted
,
Alf
is
I, Claudio
.
Let it be noted that I also have a lot of affection for Melmac's cat-eating alien, but his series was abject, as things are.
What I have for
Ted
is a tremendous obsession that I think has been made quite clear in these lines.
From here I contribute to the critical ridicule of him.
It's a dirty job, but someone has to do it.
Maybe that's what Seth MacFarlane
told
Peacock
executives
when they asked him for an infallible series.
In the US
, Ted
is the most viewed thing on the platform.
I'm happy for them because I'm a good person and I want people to keep their jobs.
A television success is always better than a failure.
Even if it stars an unbearable, vulgar, outdated and repetitive doll.
If that's what the world wants, I'll go to Melmac.
