Series Adictos (1128 words)
Se trata de una serie que gira entorno a un abogado de San Francisco que un día se levanta “siendo profeta”, aprovechando dicha habilidad en beneficio de los demás; además, cuenta con actores de la talla de Jonny Lee Miller o Victor Garber, a quien hemos visto más recientemente en la serie Alias.
La serie se confirma así como uno de los éxitos de esta reciente temporada en la que han habido muchos estrenos pero pocos que hayan alcanzado las espectativas, circunstancia que en el caso que nos ocupa, se ha cubierto y con creces.
