A British police series and the book everyone is talking about: what you cannot miss this week
What you might have missed and what you surely cannot miss: the cultural and leisure proposals of 'Ara Diumenge'
The week ahead, with Jordi Garrigós
Some of the things we hope not to miss in the next seven days
I will return to Everyone for ten minutes, the latest album by Bleachers. The reason? The appearance of Bruce Springsteen at one of their live shows last week to perform Jersey Girl. The collaboration is obvious: both are from New Jersey and the influence of the Boss on the compositions of Jack Antonoff, the absolute soul of the group, is noticeable at first glance. If you don't believe me, listen to Dirty wedding dress and then let me know.
I will read the new novel by Ramon Mas. Titled It is always too late, it marries two of the great specialties of the author from Osona: drama and science fiction, to outline a breathtaking and unsettling story. Without a doubt, one of the most complex and, at the same time, ambitious works by Mas, a writer who knows how to break your heart with as much wit as emotion.
I will watch Gone, the new British crime series in the Filmin catalog. This creation by George Kay (Lupin, Killing Eve) is built on three pillars: the magnificent performances by Eve Myles and, above all, David Morrissey, the suspense derived from the slow pace, and the de facto class of a typical well-made British series. One of the must-sees of this fall season.
The week in review, with Thaïs Gutiérrez Vinyets
Notes on what we have seen, felt, tasted and, ultimately, experienced in the last seven days
I have bought Yesteryear, the book that everyone is talking about. It is the debut of American writer Caro Claire Burke, who presents us with a story starring an ultra-conservative influencer who suddenly wakes up in the year 1885 and discovers that going back to the past is not as wonderful as she has been saying on social media. The book's success has accelerated its film adaptation, which will star Anne Hathaway.
I have celebrated the return of Ted Lasso, one of my favorite series of recent years, although at some point its creators stretched its success too far with unnecessary seasons. It seems that now, however, the proposal returns to its excellent initial level with the coach played by Jason Sudeikis taking charge of a women's soccer team.
I had dinner at the Santa Magdalena restaurant, next to Gran de Gràcia, a place that is a tribute to the classic small-plate eateries. Here you will find macaroni, fricandó, squid with sausage, dirty rice... Simple dishes made with quality products. Leave room for dessert.
I haven't been able to stop thinking about the death of photographer Jean-François Leroy, the soul of the Visa pour l'Image festival, one of the essential events of European photojournalism that Leroy managed to consolidate and grow and which has just inaugurated its 38th edition in Perpignan.
