A group of children between 5 and 12 years old are lost and isolated on a tropical island after a plane crash. Without adults to control them or pre-established rules, they try to govern themselves, but reality imposes itself: violence always finds a crack to slip through and inequalities always make their presence felt. This is the premise of Lord of the Flies, William Golding's dystopian novel from 1954, which now arrives as a miniseries on Movistar Plus+ (it premieres in full this Thursday, May 7). Behind the production, which bears the BBC's seal of approval, is Jack Thorne, co-creator of Adolescence, the Netflix miniseries that also revolves around how the youngest are drawn into violence and rage.

The good weather has arrived but this does not mean that platforms are slowing down their pace when it comes to releasing series. This May, dramas decrease and entertainments with a sexy touch increase. These are the most outstanding series of the month.

The production Yo siempre a veces, set in Barcelona and co-created by Marta Bassols and Marta Loza, has won the award for best screenplay at the Canneseries festival, which concluded this Tuesday. The dramedy, which can now be seen on Movistar Plus+, follows the life of Laura, a girl from Santa Coloma who gets pregnant shortly after starting an intense relationship with Rubén, the owner of a bar in the Raval with whom she goes to raves. When they separate, Laura is faced with the reality that she must assume the upbringing of her son almost alone. The series shows the difficulties of being a mother in a precarious environment.During its run at Canneseries, Marta Bassols explained that the series "has a lot" of her own motherhood and that there are some parallels between her and the protagonist. "I am also from Santa Coloma, I also lived in Berlin, I got pregnant without thinking much about it and I stayed in Barcelona –like the character of Laura–. I also broke up and was left with a very small child, smaller than the one in the series, and I filmed from house to house," explains Bassols in statements collected by the Efe agency. Yo siempre a veces is Bassols' first production as a creator, who as an actress has appeared in other fiction such as Això no és Suècia and La Mesías and in films such as El futuro and Mamántula. The other creator of the series, Marta Loza from Asturias, has been part of the art department of films such as Dolor y gloria, by Pedro Almodóvar, or the music video Motomami by Rosalía. The Canneseries award for best screenplay was shared by Bassols and Loza with a third screenwriter, Almudena Monzú. The direction of the series also has a feminine touch: in addition to Loza, Claudia Costafreda and Ginesta Guindal have been behind the camera.

The House of the Spirits, by Isabel Allende, is arguably one of the most popular novels in Latin American literature. At a time when platforms have embraced literary adaptations as a formula for success, platforms have embraced literary adaptations as a formula for success, it was to be expected that such a well-known book would eventually have a television version, and an exuberant one at that. Prime Video premieres its adaptation of Isabel Allende's work this Wednesday, with Allende serving as executive producer alongside American actress of Mexican origin Eva Longoria.

Richard Gadd was an unknown actor and creator until 2024, when he premiered Baby Reindeer on Netflix, a miniseries that explained his experience as a victim of harassment and also sexual abuse. The production was a phenomenon that even obsessed some viewers – some supposed fans revealed the identity of Gadd's stalker and she sued the series and the platform–. After that whirlwind, the Scotsman premieres Half Man, a new miniseries with which he wants to reaffirm his authorial voice: a new, uncomfortable and impactful story about toxic masculinities, homophobia and dependency relationships. The series will be available on HBO Max from this Friday.

The second season of The Pitt, the HBO Max series that has recaptured the spirit of great medical dramas, especially regarding its commitment to realism, has ended. Not a veracity as a mere production flourish, but for the dramatic demand to connect with social problems that engage the viewer beyond mere entertainment. In this new stage, the dramatic tone has been intensified and the psychological dimension of the characters has been increased.

A few weeks ago, psychologist and content creator Sandra Parmo recommended a Korean film on her social media, 18x2 beyond youthful days, or in Spanish 18 years later. Quickly, several followers told her that they hadn't managed to find the film on the platform in any way. Parmo gave them a piece of advice: change the interface language to English, the easiest way to locate this title, which for many users seemed invisible. Are there really series or films that appear or disappear depending on the language in which we have Netflix configured? The short answer is yes, but the situation is a bit more complex.

When Euphoria premiered in 2019, it took half the world by surprise. The series, which was an adaptation of an original Israeli title, showed adolescent disillusionment and anguish in a new way thanks to Sam Levinson's stylistic daring and managed to hook adult viewers even though, in principle, they were not the target audience for the production. After a four-year wait and voices claiming that the third season would never happen, the HBO Max fiction returns with an installment that has many chances of being the definitive farewell according to the statements of its protagonists. A good part of the cast are now global stars, although when the series started they were practically unknown. We review the five most outstanding names of , which in its third season will mix drug trafficking, sex, and decadence.

It's one of the great comedies of recent years, but it's closing its curtains. Hacks, the funny story of the relationship between a veteran comedian and a younger one, premieres this Thursday its fifth and final season on HBO Max. It arrives at its end on its own terms, being aware that it was time to close shop and not unnecessarily prolong the plot so as not to damage its legacy as one of the best-written comedy series of recent times.

The nightmares of the theocratic dictatorship of Gilead did not end the day that The Handmaid's Tale aired its last episode. The series starring Elisabeth Moss and based on Margaret Atwood's novel concluded in mid-2025, but before saying goodbye to viewers, it was already official that it would have a continuation titled The Testaments.

If viewers didn't suffer enough then, this new foray returns ready to test their endurance.

Iñaki Mur (Barcelona, 1993) became known for series like Merlí, but he left that stage behind a long time ago. He now plays Salvador Dalí in This is not a murder mystery (Esto no es un misterioso asesinato on Filmin), a Belgian series set in the thirties of the 20th century that functions as a kind of Agatha Christie in which the main suspects in a murder are surrealist artists such as the Catalan painter himself, Man Ray, René Magritte or Lee Miller. The story is inspired by the real relationship between the magnate and patron Edward James, owner of the West Dean estate in West Sussex, and the international surrealist circle. The series premieres on Tuesday, April 7.

Corruption is not just a human thing, it can also seduce superheroes. And fighting to uncover the truth as ordinary people, when your enemies could destroy the planet in the blink of an eye, is difficult, but not impossible. These are some of the elements present in The Boys, one of Prime Video's most celebrated series that functions as a subversion of the, until a few years ago, very popular superhero genre. The fiction premieres this Wednesday its fifth and final season with two opening episodes and will subsequently air one episode per week until May 20.

Easter holidays are so short that they practically shouldn't count as holidays. But if you are among those who can extend the break beyond the strictly festive days, you will surely have time to rest and also relax with a mini-series that doesn't involve being glued to the screen for many hours. To make the job easier, we recommend eleven recent mini-series that you can watch these days.

In the midst of the streaming era and omnipresent screens, a growing segment of youth is looking back. Vinyl records, cassettes, film cameras, or VHS tapes, formats that just a few years ago seemed doomed to disappear, are circulating again among young people as objects of cultural consumption and symbols of identity. Far from being a fleeting trend, the phenomenon reflects an increasingly complex relationship between the digital generation and the technology that dominates their daily lives.

The Madison is a series that seems to have premiered for Easter with the purpose of redeeming us, especially women living in urban areas. Starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell, it has a plot that the SkyShowtime menu already explains more than enough. It is created by Taylor Sheridan, the architect of the contemporary western. But if you like series about rich people, luxurious settings, and extraordinary landscapes, The Madison will not disappoint you. A woman from New York will be forced to rebuild her life far from her world. The title of the series already determines the importance that the landscape will have in all of this. It takes its name from the most emblematic river in Montana, which crosses areas near Yellowstone National Park. Nature and territory will be so decisive that they will become moralizing devices for the protagonists. The river environment will become a kind of silent arbiter as an activator of family drama.  

The saying goes that comedy is tragedy plus time, and this Thursday Movistar+ will put it to the test with the premiere of a series that recreates one of the events that gripped the country for almost a month: the kidnapping of player Enrique Castro, alias Quini. It was 1981, and groups like ETA or the Grapo resorted to quick kidnappings as a way to finance themselves. But the footballer's case deviated from this scheme, as the captors were a trio of people with no prior experience in crime, drowning in debt and who did not foresee all the complications – beyond the legal ones – that their action would entail. Por cien millones revisits the case, but from the perspective of these anti-heroes, to whom the creators apply a compassionate gaze.

Who remembers the interns, fifteen years later? The creators of Scrubs do. This medical series starring four resident doctors returns now, three decades after it ended, to reunite the viewer with characters who are now established doctors but still work at the Sacred Heart Hospital. Disney+ hosts this revival starting this Wednesday. Created by Bill Lawrence and produced by ABC Studios, the series, which premiered in October 2001, had nine seasons and 182 episodes aired until now, and captivated millions of viewers with its original, slightly eccentric, and self-aware comedy style. After the success of this unconventional sitcom, Lawrence produced Cougar Town, Bad Monkey, Shrinking, and the acclaimed Ted Lasso.

For most viewers and the general public, Lisa Kudrow will always be Phoebe Buffay, the eccentric masseuse who was part of the group of friends from Friends. But the actress's professional life is not limited to the superpopular comedy of the 90s and early 2000s. When Friends ended, Kudrow embarked on other professional projects, the most personal of them The comeback, a comedy considered a cult classic that is now returning to television 12 years after its second season (the first premiered in 2005). The new installment, the last the series will have, premieres this Monday on HBO Max.

When it premiered almost stealthily on Prime Video three years ago, The Jury became the comedy of the moment. With a mockumentary format, it showed the interaction between the various members of a jury. The linchpin that made it a phenomenon was the blend of reality and fiction: the protagonist, Ronald Gladden, was a real person who believed he was actually part of a jury. The truth was that it was all fake and that his fellow jurors were actors, a premise reminiscent of the film The Truman Show. After that experience, the same team has put together a second installment with a completely different setting. The Jury: Corporate Retreat arrives this Friday on Prime Video with three episodes. The next two will premiere on March 27th and the last two on April 3rd.
