My series of the year

It is not the definitive list, nor is it intended to.

It's just mine.

Except for a title (which has crept in, because fucking Juan always sneaks in), they are all premieres of the year that ends, so nothing of

,

and other well-known wonders.

And let's save the squid for the sandwiches.

ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING

/ Disney +

The series by Steve Martin and John Hoffman has given Disney + in Spain a great gift: not only is it great but it fits perfectly with what we could call "Disney spirit", as it is a fiction for the whole family but it does not equalize below, infantilizing adults.

Not even the presence of one of the most recognizable stars for the youngest, Selena Gómez, compromises the adult charm of this story surrendered to the classics but also to the fashion of podcasts, comical but indebted to Hitchcock and perfectly capable of not falling. never in a kitsch that stalks him from the first moment.

And what a re-discovery Martin Short has been.

COME JUAN / HBO

It is almost tiresome that Juan Carrasco is on these lists of the best of the year with each season of his series.

But what it is, it is, and the series by Diego San José and Javier Cámara has been the best in its category for three installments.

It could be repetitive but it is not, it could be pretentious but it is not, it could be just good but it strives to be better every year.

And it succeeds.

LUCÍA ON THE WEB / RTVE

The explosion of the

genre has led this documentary subgenre to give rise to almost self-parodic products or, in the case of things like

to recycle as non-fiction series what are still sensationalist television reports.

Lucia in the cobweb could have thrown it around, but the pulse that her story achieves, whose implausibility collides, as in good

, with the fact that it is not fictional, places it to another level.

ASSUME NEW YORK IS A CITY / Netflix

Perhaps the best proof that this list is mine and mine alone is the inclusion in it of this collaboration between Fran Lebowitz and Marty (Scorsese) that works as a biography of the woman with the most (and funniest) opinions in the world but also as a testimony of a New York that no longer exists.

Perhaps the best proof that the Lebowitz is my idol is never having considered that his series was not in this text.

MARE OF EASTTOWN / HBO

Such has been the success (and repercussion) of Kate Winslet's sad and exciting series that, being a closed and well-closed miniseries, almost no one doubts its continuity.

Television of a lifetime, well thought out and better executed.

And a star of which few remain.

SCARLET WITCH AND VISION / Disney +

The Marvel series minus Marvel, the Marvel of those who are not (are) fans of Marve, the anti-Marvel.

All this is the retitled

(losing the triple meaning of the original title) that confirms Elizabeth Olsen as a superlative performer and Marvel as a factory that if it only manufactures one thing it is because it wants to.

Because if you want, and with this series you wanted, you know how to attend to other sensitivities.

STATION ONCE / HBO Max

That part of its episodes correspond to 2022 may also be the option to be on the list of the best series next year.

Patrick Sommerville's is a difficult series (hello, pandemic) and therefore doubly good.

THE DIRECTOR / Netfix

With the jokes already exhausted about who Amanda Peet is married to, it remains to be said that her series, starring Sandra Oh, has been one of the most solid of the year.

His exploration of the moral contradictions of modern society (something that, by the way, will always be

the absolute television benchmark

in

) becomes a far from obvious comedy of manners.

THE WHITE LOTUS / HBO Max

The only thing missing from this satire is Laura Dern, muse of its creator Mike White in that influential

.

But in exchange for

we have Connie Britton and a recovered Jennifer Coolidge.

A mixture of

,

and the cinema of Robert Altman to which it benefited that its "parallel" series, the

of Amazon Prime Video, was much worse.

CONDEMN / Movistar +

Another one that lost some of its power in translation was this creation by Jimmy McGovern with a cast led by Sean Bean and Stephen Graham.

A different prison series, as are good prison series.

YELLOWJACKETS / Movistar +

We return to

, but this time we mix it with

and with some adolescent fiction that, like good adolescent fiction, works best as a metaphor or fable.

The TV surprise of the year?

Yes, definitely.

THE SQUID GAME / Netflix

Excuse me, but NO.
