The Clone (2001–2002)
10/10
Atypical soap opera
28 July 2018
I watched it as a kid and skipped through some episodes now and I maintain my opinion that this isn't your typical South American soap opera. There's no absurd fight between an angelic and an evil character, like in most shows of this kind. The main theme, the leitmotif of this story is "morality" and the different approaches of it. There are multiple conflicts going on and, as the fight is a spiritual and mental one, we could devide it into ethos, logos and pathos, meaning, in this case, the authority of the Muslim religion (Ali - who's the father figure), science and facts (Albieri) and passion (Jade and Lucas). These aren't necessarily irreconcilable, but the human ego and flaws tend to make them so. A thing that is kind of overlooked is Xande's love for Mel. Maybe the most selfless and sincere of all.
