This year,
the Easter weekend becomes - another holiday through - a kind of XX
L. And in these six days, beyond family gatherings, religious celebrations and getaways, many will be in search of titles worthy of marathoning in
streaming
.
Therefore, here is a
"top five"
recommendations to see on the different platforms. It includes
five options for all tastes, short, special to watch in full during days off
from work.
1) Coppola, the representative
Available on Star+.
six episodes
This is the biopic of Diego Maradona's former manager. The series follows the life story of media personality
Guillermo Coppola
, but in a very particular way:
through the eccentric anecdotes that he told on television
over the years.
"Coppola, the representative", the series starring Juan Minujín, is available on Star+. And he already raised hell.
Juan Minujín is the one who plays "Guillote", and
his performance is impeccable
. Each chapter lasts approximately 45 minutes, and
seeks to capture the essence of the '90s
, closely following the histrionic representative, who was undoubtedly, for a long time, one of the protagonists.
The cast is completed with Mónica Antonópulos in the role of Yuyito González, among other actors.
2) Griselda
Available on Netflix.
six episodes
This miniseries tells the true story of Griselda Blanco
, the drug trafficking leader of the '70s and '80s, who was known as
“the godmother of cocaine” and who was the inspiration for Pablo Escobar
. It stars Sofía Vergara, who decided to make a 180-degree turn in her career to go from comedy to drama.
Sofía Vergara stepped into the shoes of Griselda Blanco for the Netflix miniseries and is unrecognizable.
From the same creators of
Narcos
, each of the 50-minute episodes of this dark police drama keep you on the edge of your seat, leaving you wanting more. The series is located in Miami, the city to which the drug leader escaped with her four children to, from there, direct her empire. For this reason, it has scenes in Spanish and English, to maintain the verisimilitude of the story.
3) Avatar: The Last Airbender
Available on Netflix.
Eight episodes
An
ideal series for nostalgic people, ideal to watch with the family. This is the
live action
version (real action, with actors) of the successful series of the same name
that aired in the early 2000s on Nickelodeon. Once again, it tells the story of Aang, a 12-year-old boy who inherited the powers of the Avatar and can, therefore, master the four elements: earth, fire, water and air.
In the midst of a war unleashed by the Fire Lord, he becomes the only person capable of bringing peace to the nations.
Video
The series premieres on February 22 on Netflix.
This new proposal
explores narrative arcs
that were not very present in the animated series, making it very entertaining even for those who saw the original. Although the special effects are not the best,
in general it delivers and was very well received by fans
.
4) The Manager, second season
Available on Star+.
seven episodes
This series, starring
Guillermo Francella
, is undoubtedly worth it. Once again, the central story follows that of Elisha, a kind and helpful doorman, who also
has his cynical, vengeful and spiteful side
to him. In the new episodes (approximately 30 minutes each) a new neighbor will arrive at the building to ruin her plans.

As agile as the first, with chapters that last around half an hour, the second season of
The Manager
follows the footprint of the original story, nuanced by other conflicts of coexistence, convenience and loyalty. And everything put on screen with extreme aesthetic care.
5) Chef Chico's replacement
Available on Netflix.
Eight episodes
It is Netflix's first production in the Philippines
. It tells the life of restaurant workers, also deals with the history of its diners and, in the process, opens a window to exotic Asian cuisine. She is friendly, entertaining and
manages to add a few more seasonings to the recipe that we know by heart
.
Alessandra de Rossi, one of the best actresses in the Philippines, is part of this Netflix production.
There are two men (the owner of the place and the business advisor) who desire the same woman, a woman (the chef's assistant) who feels betrayed by one side and loved by the other, and a climate of running between the stoves, orders, the repeated cry of
“yes chef”
and gourmet petals to distinguish a dish, what makes it different is that in each of the eight episodes one of the diners of the day takes center stage.
It stars Alessandra de Rossi, who shows why
she is one of the best in her country
. Although she was born 39 years ago in the United Kingdom, she grew up and trained in the Philippines.
