El cor de la ciutat.

El cor de la ciutat was a TV3 serie that has lasted from year 2000 until the last 2009. It's about life in two neighborhoods of Barcelona: at first it was Sant Andreu, secondly they changed to Sants and they finally returned to Sant Andreu. It finally has finished with a happy ending and I will always remember it as my daily supper time serie.

Many people don't like following TV series; they say they are boring and too long, without surprises or interesting plots. Nevertheless, El cor de la ciutat was different; I rarely have felt bored with it.
At first, they knew how to combine drama with action plots, or comedy with intrigue. When you were watching it and you though it will be a drama day, they surprised you with some action or intrigue plots. What's more, El cor de la ciutat tried to end every day with some open question that they answer during the week.
In addition, during the 9 years the series was going on, they added and suppressed some characters. I'm conscious all series add new characters, but they did it in a special way: when they abolish a character, they included him some time after, in other words, if they suppressed a character in the first period, he reappeared some periods after.
On the whole, El cor de la ciutat has been a great Catalan TV series that has gone with me for 9 years of my life, for 5 dinners a week and it will be hard to find another one like it.
