TV series and drama review - FCE writing exercise I am not keen on TV dramas, I’d rather prefer watching movies, however I must recognize that during the last years the TV serie industry has come out with great products that have harvested a great popularity. I am a fan of “C.S.I.” and “Breaking bad” but if I were asked to choose the best serie I've seen recently I would say that it is the original Danish/Swedish serie “Broen”, a police serie that unveils the hidden sins and flaws of the allegedly perfect nordic society. The main character is the swedish female police Saga Noren. Saga is affected by Asperger syndrome but it’s not a obstacle for her to be extremely clever in her job, even if her colleagues don't like her because of her rudeness. In my opinion what make this serie a milestone are the brillant cast, the solid plot that hasn’t weakened during the 4 seasons it lasted and the ability of the writers to create aesthetic stages where actors can exploit all their skills to create superb characters.

Comments:

1. Prefer and rather are similar - you don't need them both

I'd rather

or

I'd prefer


2. Series is always spelled this way and is countable. e.g. 1 series, 2 series etc


This is a really good piece of work. Be careful where you start a new paragraph- there doesn't seem to be any structure to this.

I'd rather = a little antiquated

I would rather watch = the full sentence. 

I prefer to watch = correct.

you have mixed up two separate structures and an antiquated way with the more modern way. to create a phrase that is unclear. 

I’d rather prefer watching movies, =I'd rather prefer to watch movies (is the correct way to say this older structure)
