The best series 2022: this is the ranking one month before the end of the year

Many followers (and also critics) got off the series in the fourth season for its metadiscursive turn and its approaches close to mental scratching to portray what is happening in the world from a law firm. The fifth and last one plunges into a lysergic, metaphorical and literal journey, no longer to explain that liquid reality of political, social and media polarization, but to assume that it is impossible to maintain sanity in the times in which we have had to live. From our point of view, Diane Lockhart (Christine Baranski) is confirmed as an icon of the best current television and The Good Fight is and will be the most clairvoyant testimony of this decade.

Be careful with Apple TV +, which is gradually designing a catalog of series that really make a difference, with a tactic more similar to that of the first HBO than Netflix. In Separation, directed by Ben Stiller, he offers an ingenious dystopia on a subject that concerns us all: work-life balance. He poses a company whose employees agree to have their brains altered so that they don’t remember anything about their personal lives once they enter the building and also have all their work memories erased as soon as they get home. He captures it in a way that is somewhere between aseptic and stylized, but with the ability for the viewer to constantly ask himself questions, some of them very profound. The more episodes you see, the more you will need to recommend it.

How difficult it is for a comedy to find its place among the best series of the year… and how good Hacks is. The second and last season maintains the punch of the first with sassy jokes and surreal situations and also turns up the volume of the love-hate relationship of its protagonists, a diva of humor and a teleshopping in low hours and a young screenwriter as brilliant as disastrous. The masterful dialogues and the drama in the background that great comedies hide round off a simply great series.

Ricardo Gomez, Claudia Salas, Alex Monner and Elisabet Casanovas are the most-attractive-impossible protagonists of a series that has started in an epic way: it narrates the key decade of ‘the bakalao route’ with an exhaustive and hard-hitting portrait of what is he cooked in that universe of clubs and out of phase. What is interesting is that it does not obsess over trying to hook the viewer with grandiose party scenes and highs, but instead focuses on the human essence of that ‘movida valenciana’ and how the explosion of that atmosphere affects personal relationships. A great previous work is perceived to understand the reality of what happened there, and that commitment of the script is transferred with conviction and honesty to the entire artistic part. For now, the Spanish series of the year.

One of the great surprises of the year, surely the favorite series of all cooking lovers. It is true that it is a very niche plot (there is a prestigious chef who takes over the family business, a sandwich bar), but its devilish rhythm, its brown humor and its high levels of tension and emotion can satisfy the appetite of the most demanding series fans. As icing on the cake, Jeremy Allen White (Shameless) marks an anthological character.

 Ozark, season 4 (Netflix)

The packaging and quality of La unidad was somewhat eclipsed because it arrived in the year of the definitive boom in Spanish series, with Riot Control, Patria and Veneno .taking all the headlines. That is why it is great news that it has a second season in which it finishes off its fantastic portrayal of international terrorism with the very agents who dismantled an attempted attack that became targets of criminals. The series is still just as good at what it was great at (dramatic tension, three-dimensional characters, excellent actors) and further sharpens the knife by raising the danger that lurks in the leads, and also by subtly raising some parallels between the two.’ bandos’, especially in terms of liturgies with religious echoes. A series that could aspire to number one if it were more ambitious in terms of its basic thesis on global terrorism… although that option remains open because it has been confirmed that there will be a third season.

If you are a movie buff who feels gustirrinin at any metafiction wink, get ready for the multi-orgasm. If those script breaks make you cringe and you have no interest in looking for references, give this recommendation a kick. What is Irma Vep? It is an ‘autoremake’ made by the filmmaker Olivier Assayas of the film that brought him to the fore in 1996, a tremendous maze of mirrors about an actress (Alicia Vikander, how good she is when the project accompanies) who shoots a new version of The Vampires in Paris, the silent classic of Feuillade, and who suffers the bite of the character he plays. He merges with her as the entire series merges with the film that preceded it and at the same time reflects on the untraceable border between reality and fiction with tremendous creative and psychodramatic discoveries.

The ruthless world of finance in the City of London is the epicenter of a series that achieved great acceptance in its first installment and that with this second installment has become one of the current benchmarks for HBO Max. The stark (well, also carnal) ambition of the protagonists is the engine that drives a set of well-armed and better narrated stories, with moral conflicts that challenge us all but taken to limits of immorality perfectly connected with those less and less hidden forces that seem to rule the world order.

Stranger Things, temporada 4 (Netflix)

For many Star Wars fans , the Rogue One movie is the best this universe has produced in decades. That’s why there was so much desire to see this prequel in the form of a series with Diego Luna repeating the role of Cassian Andor (if it were a sequel, it couldn’t be), and that’s why it’s been so nice that it lives up to expectations. The action takes place five years before what we saw in the movie, with the plot of how the rebellion against the Empire is organized to steal the plans for the Death Star, told through complex characters and spoiled scenes in which visual and, above all, in the narrative.

 I don’t like driving (TNT)

After the success of Vota Juan, the TNT chain is right again with another comedy with substance. Borja Cobeaga, one of the directors and scriptwriters who best captures the evolution of Spanish humor, is in charge of a story that shines in its simplicity: it deals with a group of forty-somethings who are in the process of getting their driver’s license, a plot apparently light that manages to capture those daily troubles of people who feel out of place, not only because of age, and not only inside that car. Juan Diego Botto sets the tone for a stupendous cast in which Leonor Watling shines and, above all, David Lorente, one of those infinitely skilled actors who, as soon as he takes another step in media terms, is going to become one of the greats of the home industry.

Colin Firth and Toni Collette in a miniseries based on true events (sad and horrible). Explore the life of Michael Peterson, his extended North Carolina family…and the suspicious death of his wife, Kathleen Peterson. Also in the cast are Juliette Binoche, Sophie Turner and Patrick Schwarzenegger, who ensure the level of quality. Let’s say that it’s less impressive than the French docuseries that is at its origin, but between the fact that the case is tremendous, the scripts are great and the artistic part is out, you have a very, very solid product.

What a fine adaptation of the memoir by doctor and screenwriter Adam Kay, about the crazy day-to-day life of a resident in the obstetrics and gynecology wing of a British public health hospital. Like the great series with the BBC label (it is undoubtedly one of them), it combines irony and British black humor with grace and punch with large doses of emotion, honesty and criticism of those systemic hardships that plague English society, with direct translation to ours. To top it off, Ben Whishaw, winner of the Golden Globe, the Emmy and the Bafta for A Very English Scandal, is masterful in setting the tone and distributing the game.

 Pam & Tommy (Disney+)

A policeman with the air of a classic, with good spy plots and even better doses of black humor. It centers on a group of British MI5 agents who are referred to ‘the house in the swamp’, an administrative unit where they languish for having screwed up on some case. They are the losers but they are needed in a key investigation, and that is where the heart of the series comes from. The protagonists provide quality assurance (Gary Oldman, Kristin Scott Thomas, Jack Lowden, a fantastic Saskia Reeves…) and the plots have the reliability of the saga of Mick Herron novels on which it is based. It has worked so well that the second season premieres this year and the third and fourth have already been confirmed.

Bilal Baig, a young gender-fluid creator, captures her experiences in a more or less autobiographical way in one of the most interesting series of the year for those who focus on the most original narratives. What is she about? Sabi Mehboob is a millennial who moves between various identities on a daily basis: from the sexy waitress at an LGTBIQ+ bookstore, to the youngest of a traditional Pakistani family, to her role as the de facto mother of an inner-city hipster family. Transition in all aspects of life for an intelligent, respectful and very honest dramedy.

There will be those who are scandalized because I give a position far from number 1 to the final season of the Ricky Gervais series… And I understand it, because I suppose that if you enter into his reflection on open-hearted duel, it must touch a lot. It’s not my case. This latest installment is more sentimental than the previous ones, with a closure that is enough to release a version in a strong self-help book, so it will fascinate those who were moved by the two previous seasons.

Follower of the wtf style! from Lost, The Leftovers or Westworld, but with some welcome doses of Fargo -style black humor , Outer Range is the most attractive round of pot so far this season. You better not know much before you see it, but to get your bearings it’s about cowboys from Wyoming (Josh Brolin has one in him and it shows), all very deep America, suddenly confronted with the paranormal. The hole in the photo is going to generate a lot of questions, a lot of crazy entertainment to think about (perhaps too much) and a lot of desire for a second season.

Inspired by the life of the leader of ‘Los Miami’, a gang of Spanish thugs, this series travels to Madrid in the 90s to capture the underworld of extortion, drug trafficking and other niceties. Alex Garcia sets the heavy and aggressive tone of a hardcore production in which he shares a cast with Emilio Palacios, Marcel Borras, Jason Day, Maria Hervas, Teresa Riott, Claudia Pineda, Jon Kortajarena and Francis Lorenzo.

Something like Tim Burton’s Harry Potter . The director leaves her stamp on this youthful revision of The Addams Family starring Wednesday, who becomes a stupendous anti-heroine thanks to a script that places her as a sui generis vigilante within a highly worked universe. The best, the good doses of black humor and countercultural messages where the dark and supposedly evil feels like the most ethical and moral.

The Boys, temporada 3 (Amazon Prime Video)

The label of ‘the new Downton Abbey’ cannot be removed, nor is it intended to. Share creator, Julian Fellowes, has three wonderful actresses, Christine Baranski, Cynthia Nixon and Carrie Coon, and focuses on the high society of the late nineteenth century, only in New York instead of England. A great family and business battle in a world that, like Downton, is torn between tradition and modernity, perhaps with a more acid and less romantic vision. All with deployment of media and a very tasty production.

The graphic novel by Santiago Garcia and Luis Bustos comes to life in this production set in a present-day dystopian Spain on the brink of political chaos. Antonia (Veki Velilla), a young investigative journalist, stumbles across a conspiracy hatched decades ago: the existence of a cryogenic superagent, Garcia (Francisco Ortiz), created in a laboratory in the 1950s by Franco’s secret services. A solid action proposal that is very faithful to the original material and that successfully plays the trick of sugarcane historical memory.

How difficult to give a definitive place on this list to the highly anticipated adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s comic, a masterpiece that for years was considered ‘unadaptable’. A cross between the genre of epic mythology, superheroes and even horror that Netflix has approached with great respect to the original, perhaps so much that it lacks personality to be a round series. On a visual level it is striking but not captivating. The plot captivates but, if you don’t know the comic, that human depth that so many praise slips through your fingers like sand. The actors are solid but not overly charismatic either. Even so, it is true that there is something very attractive behind it that, with more artistic conviction (and more budget), could point to the fact that the following seasons do reach the status of a phenomenon.

 The Peripheral (Amazon Prime Video)

As it is more and more difficult to keep an innocent spectator’s gaze before this type of series that poses a close science fiction scenario (it is the story of two brothers who earn money in a simulation game that ends up moving to real life) with twists crazy and metaphysical metaphors. The Peripheral is very well done, it takes its goal of fooling the public seriously and… that said, if you allow yourself to see it as if you’ve never been disappointed with this genre, you’re going to enjoy it.

Did you like The Orphanage or The Secret of Marrowbone? Sergio G. Sanchez, the mastermind behind those twists in the script, proposes a thriller with the same coordinates about a survivor of a bus accident who wakes up in the hospital without remembering anything about the death of most of her colleagues, or anything about his previous life… But in addition to amnesia he begins to have frightening visions. Among the protagonists there are young talents such as Mireia Oriol, splendid in her first protagonist, Alex Villazan, Pol Monen and Milena Smit, and veterans of the stature of Elena Irureta (Patria).Although it is not a round fiction, especially since the mylogical-supernatural part does not finish curdling, it does raise a metaphorical reflection, deeper the more perceptive the viewer, on mourning and identity.

 The First Lady (Movistar Plus+)

Remarkable, well-intentioned (a little too much) and tricky exercise that spins the biographies of three of the First Ladies of the United States with a more prominent personality and influence. Among the fabulous main trio, Betty Ford shines clearly, to whom Michelle Pfeiffer endows with a magnetism and a sick fragility, always on the edge of the precipice. Gillian Anderson’s Eleonor Roosevelt provides a very interesting perspective of 20th century feminism, while Viola Davis’ Michelle Obama, who faces the most difficult challenge due to the proximity of the referent, borders on involuntary parody, especially in the relationship with her husband. her. In any case, a necessary vision (and somewhat forced) that claims and anticipates the historical need for a woman to govern the leading world power.

We put ourselves in marvelian-youthful mode. The protagonist of this super-series is Kamala Khanuna, a teenage admirer of the Avengers who earns her own powers. The actress Iman Vellani is chosen to play the first Muslim character in the Marvel universe… and the bet could not have been better. It has just started, but it already seems to us to be one of the best youth series of recent times, due to its finesse when it comes to spinning entertainment with commitment.

 Sagrada Familia (Netflix)

After the wonderful reception of the film Seventeen , Daniel Sanchez Arevalo debuts as showrunner on Netflix with this story about five friends in their thirties who get together every year to go on a trip… in the one that the series narrates, one of them has been diagnosed with a cancer and that takes their bond to another level. In addition to the fact that the protagonists (Itsaso Arana, Monica Miranda, Maria Rodriguez Soto, Mariona Teres and Godeliv Van den Brandt) convey truth in gushes, the viewing places the viewer in a vital state as bright as a sunset on a beach in Cadiz. A feelgood to laugh and cry but with nuances of quality.

 Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities (Netflix)

The 8-episode anthology format seemed perfect for an intermittent Halloween, although the truth is that it lacks solvency to reach better positions on this list. The authorship of Guillermo del Toro is noted in each story due to the visual execution, always on that tightrope between the inspiring and the shabby, and also in its classic emotional springs, but there are also contributions from other creative voices from the world of terror and the fantasy that sign very, very curious episodes. Obviously there is irregularity in the proposal and a common soul is missing from the background, but the result is effective, timeless and enjoyable.

A hot-tempered Jamie Dornan is the star of this cross between a thriller and a road movie set in an Australian desert. It is a frenetic series, with its Tarantinian point and its dose of black humor in the style of the Coen brothers, about a guy who loses his memory after an ‘accident’ on a lost highway. Six hours of script twists, some more convincing than others, which starts strong and ends strong, but loses a bit of steam in the middle.

Bestselling author Karin Slaughter’s latest novel quickly becomes a series with the great Toni Collette at the helm and three executive producers responsible for projects like Homeland and House of Cards. At first it reminds of Believe me, Collette’s previous and wonderful project for Netflix, then it seems that we may be facing the Mare of Easttownof this season… But neither one thing nor the other. The beginning is very powerful, the thriller structure is well planned with the story of a mother and a daughter whose relationship explodes from a random act of violence in deep America, the complex mother-child relationship has a good core… But At the same time, it is difficult not to become a bit leaden with the advancement of the chapters.

Movie couple: Anne Hathaway and Jared Leto unravel the true story of the meteoric rise and even more meteoric fall of coworking startup WeWork, which lost almost all of its value in a disastrous IPO. There are 8 chapters of pyramid schemes, sexual harassment and other scandals, with a very curious direction that has generated a lot of polarization: a part of the public has been hypnotized by the game, masterfully carried out above all by Anne Hathaway, but to another part the plot it seems tiresome, with the excesses of two stars overshadowing the interest in history.

If you fell in love with The Newsroom (we are not overly creative in titles), that great love story for journalism, here is a new dose of the ins and outs of the media. In this case, it is set in Australia in the 80s, in the writing of a television newscast with a leader as charismatic as she is complex. It has charm and an honest air that will connect with lovers of this journalistic subgenre… and will make professionals cry who have seen how the profession has been degraded in recent decades.

Peacemaker (HBO Max)

A mix of Euphoria and Train to Busan . This is how this Korean production could be described, which takes over from The Squid Game with a plot of problematic high school students in the middle of the zombie apocalypse. It has a point that gracefully departs from the common places of this genre, perhaps because it is based on an online comic and that freshness is noticeable. Very gross and very critical.

Great expectations for this historic blockbuster that will premiere on Prime Video and, a few months later, on RTVE. It narrates the epic first world tour of Magallanes and Elcano, with Rodrigo Santoro and Alvaro Morte leading a cast that also includes Sergio Peris-Mencheta, Carlos Cuevas, Adrian Lastra, Pepon Nieto… Six episodes full of action – directed by Simon West , that of Con Air and Tomb Raider – shot between Spain and the Dominican Republic.

It is the typical series that would have swept the open air back in 2002, because it has an engaging plot, a charismatic protagonist, well-resolved action… But we are in 2002 and the stories of Rambo-style vigilantes eager to shoot whoever they come across. in front they kind of squeak a bit. As said: it is based on successful novels (the saga is by Jack Carr) and Chris Pratt defends well the typical marine with post-traumatic stress who seeks justice after an ambush on a mission that smacks of conspiracy, but we are in 2022 and this archetype of American hero can sting.

If you missed the first season, know that you are missing one of the best science fiction series of today. We are not going to tell you much about the plot in case you decide to sink your teeth into these cybernetic ‘wolves’ who fight against a group of humans on a remote planet to ensure the future of the species they are programmed to protect, but for this image of the second season and you can imagine that at the end of the first what you feared did not happen. Tons of philosophical and almost biblical metaphors that sometimes make the action a bit dense, but if you get into it it can become a real addiction… Although this second season is heavily weighed down by doubts that are never resolved and for long periods of time it feels like a meaningless loop. Between how expensive it is and that it’s messed up too much,

Loosely based on the popular Archive 81 podcast, it is a supernatural horror series with the producers of The File Warren and Stranger Things. James Wan, which is no small feat. The history? An archivist accepts the commission to restore a collection of videotapes from 1994 and is immersed in the investigation that a documentary filmmaker of that time carried out on a dangerous sect… Due to its watered-down promotion it might seem like one of many, but its nostalgic dialogue with horror movie classics like The Shining and its vintage invoice, they go well with a plot more of mystery than fear that jumps between decent cliffhangers .

We change Vikings, that life does not end with Ragnar. This long-awaited spin-off focuses, a century later, on the biographies of some of the most famous members of these clans: Leif Erikson, Freydis Eiriksdottir, Harald Hardrada and William the Conqueror, the Norman king. The result is nothing like the beginning of the original series, more focused on historical rigor (it was a History Channel project) than on the mainstream epic series into which it evolved over the seasons. Valhalla follows this last style and further enhances it with a different showrunner. Michael Hirst has overseen the product, but the one in charge is Jeb Stuar, director of cinematic bombs like Die Hard .The result is a powerful, violent, overwhelming series at times, also vulgar at long moments.

At the top of this classification is a youth series that excites critics, young and old alike. The best thing about The Age of Wrath is that it does not seek the applause of the experts, but to speak face to face with real adolescents. And he does it in sad mode, with a slow tempo, bombastic reflections, realistic-cool direction and interpretations for the inside. Based on the best-selling book by Nando Lopez, it revolves around the social obstacles that today’s adolescents still encounter to live a different sexual identity in freedom and features Manu Rios (Elite), Amaia Aberasturi (nominated for a Goya by Akelarre), Daniel Ibanez (Walkers) and Carlos Alcaide (El Internado Las Cumbres).

The premise is powerful: a New York lawyer crashes in a private plane in an uninhabited part of Canada, and there she has to survive alone in the face of challenging nature… and before the traumas of the past that arise behind every break in the forests. She has hooked many viewers but the reality is that she goes from more to less, with a lot of flashbacks that contribute little, and ends up becoming very predictable.

From here, we tell you all the series that are to come this 2022.

More than 30 years after the premiere of that shabby adventure film that fell in love with a generation, Disney launches the serial version with the same protagonist, Warwick Davis, and with the very veteran Ron Howard as producer. LucasFilm is in charge of the new version of this tale of fairies and little monsters.

Easy reading, the book by Cristina Morales, was for many the best novel of 2018. For its daring, for its politically incorrect humor, for putting on the table a reality that is always treated with fear and condescension: it is the story of four girls with functional diversity who seek life in Barcelona. Anna R. Costa, co-author of the brilliant Arde Madrid, turns it into a series with Natalia de Molina, Anna Castillo, Anna Marchessi and Coria Castillo at the helm. Be careful because the first reviews suggest that it will be one of the best series of the year.

After the very interesting turn of Midnight Mass, of a quality even higher than the curses of Hill House and Bly Manor, Mike Flanagan presents his fourth horror series for Netflix. It’s about a group of seven patients of a mysterious doctor who meet every midnight to tell each other stories so they don’t sleep… and agree that the first one to die will communicate with the rest from the afterlife.

What a joy that the public and critics have pricked their fingertips with Ana Rujas’ Cardo , which makes all those beauties bleed and also wake up, forced to fall asleep because of unfulfilled expectations, of the future cut off from so many young people in an uninhabitable society for those who get off the wheel. The second season will surely arrive at the end of the year.

The director Paco Cabezas gives Carmen Mola’s bestseller the form of a series, with Nerea Barros (Farina) as the protagonist. It is a thriller in which a police officer faces a ritual crime, with the film Seven as a reference in vintage and violence.

Despite the fact that the most relevant series at the end of the last decade lost part of its effectiveness in the third season but recovered it in the fourth, its next premiere will be an event. Because his dialogue with the present is no longer an echo, it is a clamor. We trust that the desire to read it in terms of reproductive rights contributes more than subtracts to this transcendental series.

Watch out for this co-production between Spain and Brazil because it looks very good. Raul Arevalo and Bruno Gagliasso (a star in the country of Rio de Janeiro) go head to head a la True Detective in this story about two radically different policemen who share a common goal: to hunt down Santo, the most wanted drug trafficker in the world, by that no one has ever put a face on. The most interesting thing is the cross between the police thriller and the horror genre.

Lightning McQueen is back! The Pixar movie car saga will continue in the form of a series in which the main characters will be recovered and there will be winks and cameos through an (exhaust) pipe.

It is still hard to understand the phenomenon that this continuation of the Karate Kid saga generates, but the fact is that Netflix has not stopped squeezing it since it took over the rights to an apparently shabby project. Here’s everything we know about Cobra Kai season 5.

We put ourselves in Outlander mode to tackle this project starring a very attractive couple, Rose Leslie (Game of Thrones) and Theo James (Divergent) . It is based on a best-selling novel by Audrey Niffenegger, it is adapted for television by Steven Moffat (Sherlock)… What counts? Well, what the title says: a very magical love story about a marriage with a small temporary problem.

Many viewers remember the first three seasons of Borgen as one of the best political shows of all time. Not only because of how well he sewed parliamentary and partisan plots with personal ones, but because of his ability to inspire a kind of hope in the ruling class when it is led by good people. In this new season, Netflix adds fuel to the Danish production with a plot in which the protagonist, Birgitte Nyborg (Sidse Babett Knudsen), has to manage an international crisis related to oil from the position of Minister of Foreign Affairs. We won’t see Pilou Asbaek in the role of advisor, but we will see the journalist Katrine Fonsmark (Birgitte Hjort Sorensen).

Hierro ‘s creative team , led by Pepe Coira and Fran Araujo, has created this suspense series for Movistar+ starring Javier Camara and Monica Lopez. It is set in Galicia and the title refers to the ‘rapa das bestas’ of Cedeira, a tradition in which the more than 200 wild horses that inhabit those mountains are driven. The plot? A judicial sergeant arrives in a Galician town to investigate the murder of the mayoress, witnessed by a single witness.

A metaphysical thriller with Elisabeth Moss (The Handmaid’s Tale) as the protagonist and producer. Intensity is coming! Based on the novel by Lauren Beukes, it’s about a Chicago newspaper archivist who didn’t become a journalist because she suffered a brutal attack, and has been perceiving reality in a distorted way ever since. With that strange filter, and with the help of another traumatized editor (Wagner Moura, from Narcos ), she investigates the criminal who apparently attacked her and who continues to commit crimes.

What a joy that Netflix decided to lately renew this wonder that it gave us in 2019, a fascinating loop that we did not want to get out of. The first season showed a kind of ‘Groundhog Day’ of the protagonist (fabulous Natasha Lyonne), who again and again woke up at a party and in the next 24 hours found her dead. And start again. In addition to being very horny, she had a lot of philosophical core… that she becomes more of a psychoanalyst in the second season. Change the loop for a trip the time we better not tell you anything about.

The final season concludes Jimmy McGill’s (Bob Odenkirk) complicated journey of transformation into criminal lawyer and go-getter Saul Goodman. From the cartel to the courts, from Albuquerque to Omaha, the sixth installment follows Jimmy/Saul/Gene as they try to disappear from Lalo’s (Tony Dalton) radar. The new episodes will also explore where her relationship stands with Kim (Rhea Seehorn), who is facing her own existential crisis after leaving the firm and following Jimmy on her own personal odyssey. Meanwhile, Mike (Jonathan Banks), Gus (Giancarlo Esposito), Varga (Michael Mando) and Lalo continue their deadly game of cat and mouse.

Tremendous trio of actresses for a series that focuses on the biographies of three First Ladies of the United States. In the first season, Gillian Anderson is Eleanor Roosevelt, Michelle Pfeiffer gives life to Betty Ford and Viola Davis dares with Michele Obama. It is both a personal and a political journey to trace his path to that other power, very different according to each era.

The success of La catedral del Mar on Netflix caused the platform to lead the continuation of this medieval saga based on the novels by Ildefonso Falcones. And later it will be broadcast on Atresmedia, which was the one who first launched this project. This second part, led by Yon Gonzalez, David Solans and Aitor Luna, goes from building cathedrals to building ships, and maintains the essence of family and aristocratic intrigues in Barcelona at the end of the 14th century.

Juan Cavestany and Alvaro Fernandez-Armero, the showrunners who demonstrated their state of grace with Shame, return to the fray with another comedy with Antonio Resines (he recorded it before his drama with the covid) and Miguel Rellan as protagonists. A plot in the vein of Sorrentino ‘s Youth , about a bandleader and a rock star who face retirement and old age completely unprepared for society to push them away.

Taika Waititi is a producer (and actor) in this peculiar comedy by David Jenkins, which also has our Nacho Vigalondo as director of three chapters. It is very loosely inspired by the adventures of a kind of 18th century pirate, Stede Bonnet, a gentleman who jumped into the sea in search of his fortune… And ended up with a half-mutinous crew. Oh, and he went up against Blackbeard, which is the character that Waititi plays.

The finale of season five left fans with their hearts in their throats (oh, poor Claire), and season six will pull that terrible thread as it gets closer to the American Revolutionary War. Since we do not want to spoil anything about this epic fantasy, if you want to know more details go to this article where you have all the information about season 6.

Terror and joke. Courteney Cox and Greg Kinnear star in this genre-blending series about a family who leaves their small New York apartment to seek a new life in a Victorian mansion…which is haunted, of course. Like The Haunting of Hill House, but with family-dysfunctional humor.

One of the most awarded comedies of recent years returns with a trip to the 1960s. Seeking to perfect her show, Midge finds a job that allows her complete creative freedom. But her commitment to her craft, and the places it takes him, drives a wedge between her and her family and friends who surround her. Among the guests of the new chapters are Milo Ventimiglia and John Waters.

Police drama based on the real experiences of former police officer and writer Tony Schumacher, all night key and with a good dose of action on the streets of Liverpool. There are two quality assurances: it produces the BBC and the protagonist is Martin Freeman.

Created and directed by Chris Miller and Phil Lord (Spider-Man: A New Universe), it is a genre-defying series centering on a murder mystery at a high school class reunion. Each episode explores a different character’s account of the fateful night in question, all through the lens of various film genres and using unique visual effects that highlight each narrator’s perspective.

Maggie Civantos returns to the action genre that has given her so much joy with a fast-paced series that delves into the world of express kidnappings from the perspective of a criminal psychologist. She works as a negotiator and leader of an outlaw group specialized in this type of situation that touches her very personally, since she was the victim of one. She enters into the psychology of victims and executioners and also into the social derivatives of this terrible form of violence and extortion.

The mere presence of Elena Rivera already activates our interest in this thriller that has other well-known faces from the Spanish Television series, such as Rodolfo Sancho or Miryam Gallego. The starting point sounds very metaphorical: due to a drought, a town that had been sunk in a swamp sees the light again… And several corpses are found in one of its houses. From there, the protagonist detective gets fully involved in a fight between two powerful families on the border between Spain and Portugal.

Pau Freixas has become the great specialist in deluxe thrillers, always with great actors and implacable script twists. Those chosen for Everyone Lies are Leonardo Sbaraglia, Irene Arcos, Natalia Verbeke, Juan Diego Botto, Ernesto Alterio, Miren Ibarguren, Amaia Salamanca… And the plot of lies (including murder) is unleashed when a woman begins a relationship with the son of her best friend. Most compelling is its combination of suspense and family drama woven with dark humor.

The second season of one of the most addictive deluxe soap operas on Netflix has arrived, with Maite Perroni and Alejandro Speitzer at the helm. A lot of drama and a lot of passion in a plot that starts with the discovery by the protagonist that her object of desire had faked her death.
