PREMIERE.Devils: the devils that move money and control the world
INTERVIEW.Candela Peña: "I look 'divine' and everything is very strong"
On February 23, the
streaming
platform
Disney + launches Star,
its new entertainment brand with a more adult look
, which includes the catalog of 20th Century Fox, FX, Fox Searchlight Pictures or Hulu.
This involves the inclusion of mythical film sagas such as
Alien
or
Die Hard
, but also a good number of unforgettable series (ABC channel productions are also included) that will become part of
the company's sixth brand after Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars and National Geographi
c.
Here is a selection of some of the most outstanding productions.
Castle
The chemistry that mystery novel writer Richard Castle and detective Kate Beckett gave off on screen was inversely proportional to the affection that
Nathan Fillion
and
Stana Katic
, their interpreters, professed for each other out of the spotlight.
Its incompatibility of characters prevented the series from reaching its ninth season, despite its audience success in the United States and in Spain, where it was for a time
Cuatro's
flagship
.
All in all, 173 deliveries with high-level secondary and mythical episodes such as
Always
or
The Blue Butterfly
remain in the memory
.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
These are not good times for
Joss Whedon
, creator of a work that marked the adolescence of thousands of young people in the 90s (its broadcast on
Canal +
at the end of
Friends
was a combo that was difficult to beat).
The recent accusations by
Charisma Carpenter
(Cordelia in the series) about Whedon's alleged abuses of power during filming add to other similar allegations that have ended up tarnishing the image of one of the most acclaimed directors and screenwriters by fans.
The same man who before directing
Marvel's
Avengers
and its multi-million dollar sequel, showed his talents for dialogue, references and characterization of the characters while narrating the adventures of Buffy (
Sarah Michelle Gellar
) and her inseparable gang, along with whom he solved the terrifying attacks that the town of Sunnydale constantly suffered.
His mastery made it impossible to opt for a secondary school.
Virtually everyone, from the angelic Willow (
Alyson Hannigan
) to the impeccable librarian Giles
(Anthony Stewart Head
), not to mention such disparate vampires as Angel (
David Boreanaz
) or Spike (
James Marsters
), have their moment of glory throughout the seven seasons that
Buffy
stayed on the air.
Modern family
In these new series-
loving
times
, the best compliment for a television production is that it is disputed by several platforms.
This is the case of
Modern Family
, the series created by screenwriters
Christopher Lloyd
and
Steve Levitan
, who, following the
mockumentary
format, have shown the evolution of the life of Jay Pritchett (
Ed O'Neill
) and his family without losing meaning of humour.
After a decade of broadcast, 11 seasons and 250 episodes, on April 8 viewers said goodbye to characters who have remained in the collective imagination, in the case of the explosive Gloria (
Sofía Vergara
), the innocent Phil Dunphy (
Ty Burrell
) or the charming Cameron Tucker (
Eric Stonestreet
).
Lost
The series that "changed television" is the same series that is remembered for having one of the most disappointing endings in history.
Mystery after mystery, the production focused on the surviving passengers of Oceanic Airlines Flight 815 between Sydney and Los Angeles consecrated its creators, albeit in a different way.
JJ Abrams
has forged a particular career in the film industry, being the head of two franchises the size of Star Trek and Star Wars, while
Damon Lindelof
has focused on television, with the acclaimed
The Leftlovers
and
Watchmen
as major achievements. .
For its part, its promising cast has only been established in the seventh art
Evangeline Lilly
and, to a lesser extent,
Matthew Fox
.
File X
"The truth is out there," the series that became one of Fox's biggest hits, a worldwide phenomenon that brought paranormal phenomena back into vogue in the 90s of the last century, repeated insistently.
Chris Carter
, its creator, was inspired by a report that claimed that nearly four million Americans could have been abducted by beings from another planet.
The alluring theme, coupled with borderline-perfect casting, with
David Duchovny
as gullible FBI agent Fox Mulder and
Gilliam Anderson
as skeptical Special Agent Dana Scully, resulted in unprecedented success.
Eleven seasons (the last two shot relatively recently, in 2016 and 2018), two films released in theaters and 61 awards (including Golden Globes and Emmy Awards) support the significance of a proposal that refuses to go on to better life.
Grey's Anatomy
Seventeen seasons already treasures the series created by
Shonda Rhimes
in 2005. The one that was born as a mid-season replacement for
Boston Legal
has become the longest running medical drama on American television, with 369 episodes, surpassing the 332 of the
ER
.
The production has become a star-studded forge, in the case of
Sandra Oh
,
Patrick Dempsey
or
Katherine Heigl
, but only its protagonist,
Ellen Pompeo
, survives at the helm of a cast that has skilfully overcome so many changes in characters.
Family Guy
If things seemed complicated in the bosom of a certain yellow-skinned family living in Springfield, in 1999 screenwriter and director
Seth MacFarlane arrived
and created an even more Kaffir version of a dysfunctional home based in this case in the fictional town of Quahog, Rhode. Island.
Black humor, sexual jokes, eschatology ... there are no limits to comedy in the escapades that star the marriage of Peter and Lois, parents of Meg, Chris and Stewie, and owners of Brian, the anthropomorphic dog with writing skills and seductive.
The animated series was canceled by Fox in 2001, just after the third season ended, but the great sales in domestic format and the success of its reruns on the
Adult Swim
channel
caused its return.
And there it remains to this day, with 19 seasons, more than 350 episodes and a
spin of
