‘Swarm’ (Swarm)
created by Janine Nabers and Donald Glover | Distribution: Dominique Fishback
Tremendous and disturbing miniseries which follows the story of a fatal fan named Dre, obsessed with a famous pop star (similar to Beyoncé). As if it were a discarded ‘Atlanta’ subplot, Glover and Nabers do something as personal and experimental as we are used to.
‘Inseparable’ (Dead Ringers)
created by Alice Birch | Distribution: Rachel Weisz, Britne Odlford, Poppy Liu, etc.
Fascinating update from David Cronenberg’s film starring, this time, two twin girls as they navigate the world and the vanguard of obstetrics. An impeccable presentation, a superb cast and a provocative script make a very attractive trio to enter this list.

‘The Legend of Vox Machina’ S2
created by Brandom Auman (Critical Role)
It was one of the big surprises animated from last year and is back with an equally fantastic Season 2 featuring the adventures of this unlikely group of RPG heroes. Although there are still some subjects that need to be improved, the level rise has been notable.

‘The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’ S5
created by Amy Sherman-Palladino | Distribution: Rachel Brosnahan, Alex Borstein, Michael Zegen, etc.
I didn’t have them all with me but it must be said that the final season of ‘The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’ is being a farewell more than meritorious for a series who has long been the darling of critics through a journey between the present (and future) of comics.

‘Operation Black Tide’ T2
created by Natxo López and Patxi Amezcua | Distribution: Jorge López, Óscar Jaenada, Esther Acebo, etc.
To the surprise that we were taken to learn that this narco miniseries based on real events would have a new installment. And this one has been as addictive as the first one, leaving the margins of the true story on which it is based and inevitably pulling inventiveness for the new chapter in Nando’s life.

‘no footprints’
created by Sara Antuña and Carlos de Pando | Distribution: Camila Sodi, Carolina Yuste, Silvia Alonso, etc.
One of the first surprises of the year, at least in terms of Spanish fictionIt is this fiction with zero complexes and so addictive that it can be seen in a couple of afternoons enjoying the beauty of the story of these two young girls. It’s not surprising, because we have the creators of the also magnificent ‘¡García!’ at the controls

‘Everybody Loves Daisy Jones’ (Daisy Jones & The Six)
created by Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber | Distribution: Riley Keough, Sam Claflin, etc.
Based on the book of the same name, this series attracted attention from the beginning for its portrayal of the rise and fall of a fictitious musical band of the 70s. Although the puzzle of the story and history of the band members sometimes did not end work well, when he shone the most it was on the musical side, offering quite a show.
