It burdens the mystery of who is in charge of one of the most desperate people of the year, who premiere if he was celebrating in Los Angeles this week, we know the author Save the nation (2018) takes its time – as well as issues derived from the color of the writers and the death of Angus Cloud, who starred in Fez – and sat down with its protagonists in their adulthood.

Only a limited number of journalists have access to the first episodes of the series, which only knows that Rue Bennett (Zendaya) reappears in Mexico, Jules Vaughn (Hunter Schafer) has enrolled in art school, and Lexi Howard (Maude Apatow) and Maddy Perez (Alexia Demie) are trying to move past Hollywood students.

We also know that Cassie Howard (Sydney Sweeney) and Nate Jacobs (Jacob Elordi) have been spending what appears to be time sitting in a seemingly peaceful suburban neighborhood, as we can infer from the trailer. You just have to wait a month to know all this.

Cochins

Of the foreign series that appeared at the last year of the festival in Málaga, the only one is interesting cochins, created by Carlos del Hoyo (Señoras del Hampa, Mariliendre) and Irene Bohoyo (All sides of the room), and the first episodes directed by Andrea Jaurrieta (Ana de día, Nina).

Capitanea el show una sublime Malena Alterio que, esta vez, encarna a Nines, una ama de casa a la que una minifalda le parece un exceso y que se verá obligada a cargar con las obligaciones familiares cuando su marido quede en coma. En el Valladolid de 1998 su única opción de supervivencia pasa por reactivar el videoclub que regentaba con perspicacia de vendedor de ‘pollofres’ su ahora impedido esposo. Y, pese a sus reticencias iniciales, Nines descubrirá que la oportunidad para recuperar la clientela perdida pasa por el cine X.

La serie no solo explota las contradicciones entre una moralidad rancia y la contagiosa vitalidad que transmite una cuenta corriente saneada, también jugará con los clichés del llamado cine para adultos. No se trata, sin embargo, de caer en la parodia fácil, sino de poner en tela de juicio determinados tópicos y analizar según qué estereotipos, sin duda culpables de la generación de determinadas actitudes con respecto al sexo.

We are in front of a comedy that, without giving up the costumes, tries something different. Welcome to the sea.

House of ghosts

Isabel Allende’s new serialized version of the popular novel, now also an executive producer, achieves perfection with one of the editorial lines that Prime Video has followed since its commitment to produce originals in Spanish. This segment of production needs to be adapted best seller without gender import, as this is evidenced by the purchase of shares of a part of the work of Juan Gómez Jurado (Queen of the Swarm) or de César Pérez Gellida (Memento Mori). If you have a large readership, this is part of the deal.

Ahora bien, La casa de los espíritus entronca directamente con La templanza, traslación a la pequeña pantalla de la novela de María Dueñas, en tanto en cuanto adopta los modos del melodrama de época reforzado por un suntuoso diseño de producción.

Los miles de lectores que se sintieron traicionados por la versión que Bille August hizo de la novela de Allende en 1993, quizá encuentren consuelo en esta miniserie que, ya solo por su extensión, se ajusta mejor a las dimensiones y a los giros dramáticos del original.

The director Francisca Alegría and the actress and star Fernanda Urrejola are responsible for this Chilean super production, in which the heroes Larraín or Eva Longoria appear with hope, among others, and which armed a department full of well-known loved ones seeking the approval of an army of fans who adore their book.
