The premieres on streaming platforms have continued their course this month, such as the one that occurred in the middle of the week of the third season of the series “The Morning Show” on Apple TV.
After a surprising and very solid second season that occurred already in the middle of the pandemic and was located precisely at the beginning of 2020 between the previous era and that of the beginnings of contingency in countries like China and Italy as well as the American Union, The third season of “The Morning Show” could not have started better since its director and producer Mimi Leder mixed the best of the narrative of series that have made history and that have been under her command such as “ER” and “The West Wing ” with one of his Hollywood productions from exactly 25 years ago like “Impactodeep” which despite competing with another blockbuster the same year with a similar theme like “Armageddon” about the danger of a meteorite crash on Earth had its own identity.
And what an identity “The Morning Show” has, taking advantage of the fact that it takes place on a channel where its highest rated program is one of morning news mixed with entertainment like “Hoy Mismo” was in Mexico before becoming “Hoy” ago. precisely 25 years, now it is set in the year 2022, having already taken place the events of the coup attempt in the Capitol in January 2021 to the war in Ukraine at the end of February 2022, but now including characters like the one played by Jon Hamm who It is a clear reference to a nefarious billionaire like Elon Musk who, like him, is infatuated with being one of the first passengers on a space trip to which he invites the character of Jennifer Aniston, host of the program in question, to give a high profile to his next one. acquisition.
Also in the middle of the week, but now returning to the open television signal in Mexico, this week the most watched telenovela of “Las Estrellas”, “Vencer la culpa” once again gave something to talk about since this week it returned to its role as actress, one of the singers of the theme song, Dulce, playing a singer named Brisa who seeks support at the help center run by Manuela (Gabriela de la Garza) and although to some it may seem like a first, it is not. since in these spaces we have already mentioned that it was Dulce who played none other than the film diva Marilyn Monroe in the 1978 Sunday soap opera “Muñeca rota” and in later years appeared in soap operas produced by Emilio Larrosa such as “Soñadoras” (1998 ) or “Deceived Women” (1999).
To finish, and continuing with series on platforms, on Thursday the 14th “The Widows of Thursdays” began on Netflix, a series based on the book by Argentine author Claudia Piñeiro (winner of the Platinum Award for Best Ibero-American Miniseries for “El Reino” , also from Netflix) and is directed by Mexican Humberto Hinojosa (“Luis Miguel: The Series”; “The Head of Joaquín Murrieta”) which in some way reminds us of the successful series from the beginning of the new millennium “Desperate Wives.” for being narrated by one of the aforementioned “widows” (so called because she belongs to a group of “well” ladies who meet on Thursdays because their husbands are absent from their own “Toby’s lcub” meetings) and among which stand out the names of Cassandra Ciangherotti, Irene Azuela and Zuria Vega, among others.
It is also worth noting that one of the husbands is Omar Chaparro, who surprises with a character very different from those of us who have commonly seen him within the comedy genre.
