• STREAMING Seven series that should be talked about more

  • INTERVIEW Lucas Vidal, the Spanish genius of soundtracks who breaks the mold

Some

series

were expected a lot, but they were left without renewal for a new season.

Others

assume their guilty pleasure condition from the first minute of their pilot episode

.

And there is a third way, that of those that aim high, they do not reach that height that they have marked and, even so, it is extremely difficult not to devour them until their (disappointing) end.

The Children of the Zoo Station (Amazon Prime Video)

German series

based on the 1978 book

Yo Christiane F. Sons of Drugs

in which

Kai Herrmann

and

Horst Rieck

, journalists for

Stern

magazine

, narrate the young

Christiane F.'s relationship

with drugs and prostitution during her adolescence in Berlin in the 70s. The series focuses on telling its story and that of its environment: family, teachers and friends.

But his narrative ups and downs (the relationship of Benni, Ax, Michi, Bansi and Stella with

the night, violence and depravity

is also narrated

) and his stylistic excesses instead of encouraging word of mouth have achieved the opposite effect.

The D'Amelio Show (Disney +)

They define themselves as "

the first Tik Tok family

", which will have already put more than one viewer on alert.

Charli and Dixie D'Amelio

are considered the two most famous sisters on the platform, with more than 120 million followers, which according to Forbes magazine has brought them four million dollars of income in 2020. And they have not been slow to give their I jump into the world of

reality

in the footsteps of

the Kardashians

.

They are barely 17 and 15 years old, but the Hulu platform has already given them the leading role in a documentary series to tell their lives and their reflections on how difficult it is to get around fame, with their parents

Marc

and

Heidi

as illustrious secondary characters in

the plot.

.

Clickbait (Netflix)

She doesn't want to be fancy, even though she looks like it.

Yes addictive, which it achieves, although in return it leaves the viewer with a bitter aftertaste who can endure the eight episodes in which a kidnapping is narrated, that of the family man Nick Brewer

(Adrian Grenier

), who soon takes a murky turn when his sister Pia (

Zoe Kazan

) discovers an online video in which Nick appears injured with a sign that says: "

At 5 million views I will die

."

A

clickbait

is accused of lack of few deny his magnetism, which augurs a long way in high places of the platform.

Here and now (HBO)

Much was expected of the new

Alan Ball

series

. Very much. The screenwriter, producer and director, who received an Oscar for his

American Beauty

libretto

and elevated to the television Olympus by

True Blood

and

Six Feet Under,

had

Tim Robbins

and

Holly Hunter

as the great attraction of the cast. The fiction sought to give rise to philosophical and ethical discussions about "race, gender, sexuality and the nature of reality", but the story of a multiracial family,

the Bayer-Boatwrighs

, with a biological daughter and three adopted offspring from from Colombia, Somalia and Vietnam was called

boring, predictable and irritating

for criticism.

Some voices bet on giving him time, but the intense protagonists ended up not liking almost anyone once the 10 episodes of their first and only season had been broadcast.

Little voice (Apple TV +)

Brittany O'Grady

, recently seen in the highly recommended

The Withe Lotus

, carries the weight of this series that if it will be remembered for something is for being

the first television series canceled by Apple TV +.

Presented as "a love letter to the musical diversity of New York City," its plot centers on the future of the talented Bess King, a waitress who dreams of succeeding as a singer. But it was not enough to be produced by

JJ Abrams

with rising singer-songwriter

Sara Bareilles,

who was also in charge of the music. With an exquisite New York setting, his characters did not quite catch on with the public and his syrupy tone ended up garnering more critics than fans.
