SELECTION: The moment of choosing a series to take advantage of a more or less long weekend can be an odyssey.
Having a few more or less short series (by number of episodes or by their duration) is a good solution.
Binge-watching
.
This is the name in English-speaking countries for the act of watching several chapters of the same series continuously on a
streaming
platform
.
But when the weekend comes and you want to put it into practice,
doubts when choosing which production to see can lengthen the start
.
To facilitate the task, we offer five short series (by the number of episodes or by their duration) that will allow the viewer to end the days of free time with the satisfaction of having seen a whole series
at once
.
Chernobyl (HBO) - 5 episodes
To unseat
Game of Thrones
is not easy.
But this miniseries did it last year, when the spotlight quickly abandoned the end of the epic devised by
George RR Martin
to focus on the production of ... the screenwriter of the second part of
Hangover
?
You are right.
Craig Mazin
is the creator of a series that deals with the Chernobyl nuclear plant disaster that occurred in April 1986. He does so supported by Mazin's absorbing script, the firm direction of
Johan Renck
and a superb cast, among which
Stellan stands out. Skarsgård
,
Emily Watson
and, above all, a
Jared Harris
that as he continues at this rate it will be difficult to join him to a production because he stands out in all, no matter how little it appears:
Mad Men
,
The Crown
or another that appears in this same list
The Terror
.
Paquita Salas (Netflix) - 16 episodes
That the number of episodes does not scare, because the epic of which is already the most famous actor representative of the homeland show lasts between 20 and 30 minutes.
Only one of them,
regional dances
, lasts up to 38 minutes and has a reason: Paquita, masterfully performed by
Brays Efe
, must return to her town, Navarrete.
And by the time this happens, at the end of the third season, the already established
Javier Ambrossi
and
Javier Calvo
, scriptwriters and directors of the series, have already turned the life of the beloved protagonist so many twists that the chapter becomes short.
This is a series that began on the Flooxer platform and has grown in a brutal way, although its astute creators have not lost focus: the main objective, apart from presenting impossible cameos, is to have fun, although little by little In the life of Paquita and her inseparable assistant
Magüi (Belén Cuesta)
, an admirable complexity is discovered.
Primal (HBO) - 10 episodes
Perhaps it is better not to meet
Genndy Tartakovsky
before starting to see this play.
But it is acceptable to report that, in its original version, its name precedes the title.
And the reason is perfectly understood as soon as the first episode ends, which concentrates in just 22 minutes all the virtues of this master of animation:
plastic beauty, frenetic rhythm and zero concessions.
The way that Lance and Tusk, the caveman and the tyrannosaurus who star in the series meet, is bloody and dramatic.
They both lose everything and one wonders if they will be able to move on after seeing what they have seen: them and oneself.
The result is a deep reflection on how to cope with the loss and find the pa, z in which instinct, the ability to survive and the adventurous spirit intermingle.
A trip that hypnotizes and leaves its mark.
The Terror (Amazon Prime Video) - 10 episodes
Just to get
back to see
Tobias Menzies
and
Ciarán Hinds
share screen after aa embodied Brutus and Julius Caesar in the series longed
Rome
, it would be
worthwhile to
give the
play
to this series.
If it is also a
Ridley Scott
production
that adapts the acclaimed novel of the same name published by
Dan Simmons
, the hook can be instantaneous.
Both works are based on the lost expedition of Captain Sir
John Franklin
and mix history,
psychological
thriller
, supernatural horror and desire to put on a coat.
Watchmen (HBO) - 9 episodes
When it was announced that HBO was hiring
Damon Lindelof
, the controversy broke out in the networks.
Despite his good work in
The Leftlovers
, not a few people still
blamed
him for the disappointing ending of
Lost
.
But the truth is that Lindelof has redeemed himself in the face of the public And in what way!
Expanding the magnum opus of the ninth art by
Alan Moore
and
Dave Gibbons
was a major challenge that no one in the comic book world had ever been able to approve of (not even
Geoff Johns
and
Gary Frank
in the recent
Doomsday Clock
).
The forgotten Tulsa racial massacre in 1921 serves as the starting point for a reformulation of the comic that can be understood (and enjoyed) perfectly without having read a page of it, but that wins many integers if its multiple references are known, so sophisticated ( that Ozymandias by
Jeremy Irons
, the identity of Hooded Justice), that even scholars of the original work such as
Rafa Marín
wonder if the script has not been secretly signed by Alan Moore himself.
