4: I love the series!

In this post I’ll write about a series I watched that its name isMerli. Merli is a 

Spanish-Catalonian series that is about a professor of Philosophy, who encourageshis 

students to be reflective and critical of their actions, thoughts, reality, and 

society with the philosophy.

The series has a total of 40 episodes divided into 3 seasons, baptized with the 

name of different philosophers. Created and written by Héctor Lozano and directed 

by Eduard Cortés. Merlí was premiered on 2015. Personally I saw her in a week, 

because I hooked very fast. The reason I think it was because since I was in school 

I like philosophy, it reminded me a bit of the book The World of Sofia, where 

philosophy is narrated in a more entertaining and linked to reality.

I think I like the series so much because it shows a form of alternative pedagogy, 

where students are protagonists of their learning, guided by a teacher who motivates 

them to always relate content with reality. This is a way for learning to be meaningful. 

I also like the relationship that is generated between teacher and students, which 

moves away exclusively from the role of teacher, and manages to establish 

relationships of trust, personal, and even friendships. I like this because 

I think that pedagogy sometimes forgets that we are integral people and away from 

that, is not living it.

My favorite character is Pol Rubio and I was very happy to know that they will do a 

Spin off focused on their life; I am very excited to see it.

I recommend all those who like philosophy, but also those who are passionate about pedagogy.
