AND JUST LIKE THAT
WHERE: Now
WHEN: 2021
GENDER: Dramedy
Carrie, Charlotte and Miranda are no longer the women they were; we are no longer in 1998 or 2004. The characters are the same as in Sex and the City, but the mood and desires have changed. The first was a romantic comedy, this revival comes close to a meditative drama of pain.
MAID
WHERE: Netflix
WHEN: 2021
Drama
The series builds a broad and resolute look at what poverty is. Maid is an individual story that shows how the spiral of downward mobility is accelerated by factors such as gender, parenting and mental health. And how all of this can be fought.
MIDNIGHT MASS
WHERE: Netflix
WHEN: 2021

WHEN: 2021
