The year 2022 is behind us, and a new year is upon us.
A lot of series are coming up during the first month of 2023, and we are here to recommend some of them to you, because, after all, the selection is so large that you have to choose carefully the series that you will watch in the coming period.
January 1
Kaleidoscope (Netflix)
If Netflix opens the year 2023 with this series, it probably believes that it will become one of the biggest hits of the coming period.
For this to happen, viewers will have to follow a group of professional thieves who are trying to pull off the biggest heist in history and steal billions of dollars.
Sound standard?
Because there is a gimmick here: the series, which spans 25 years, is not linear, which means that no matter what order you watch its 8 episodes, eventually all the ends of the plot will connect - but the viewers' point of view will change depending on the order of viewing.
Giancarlo Esposito (Gus Fring from "Breaking Bad") stars.

Welcome to Chippendales (Disney+)
Soman "Steve" Banerjee was an Indian immigrant who rose to prominence when in 1979 he founded the Chippendales, a group of male strippers who strip in shows performed primarily in front of women.
The ensemble became a real phenomenon, and made Banerjee the owner of a real striptease empire.
Of course he didn't let things stand in his way, but life had its own plans, and they weren't easy for him.
Banerjee is played by Kumail Nanjiani, known in town for his comedic roles, playing his first lead dramatic role, and the reviews pretty much praised him for it.

his honor 2 (
yes
)
More than two years have passed since the American network Showtime aired the American adaptation of the show, based on the Israeli yes series of the same name.
This time, too, in the main role is none other than the legendary Bryan Cranston ("Breaking Bad"), who plays Judge Michael DeCiato, who tries to protect his son and finds himself in a real complication with the New Orleans crime world.
When the series first aired, it was commissioned as a mini-series, but the impressive ratings led Showtime to order another season, which would also be the show's last.
Alongside Cranston, Hope Davis, Michael Stuhlbarg, Margo Martindale and more also star.

2023 is just beginning, and already about two weeks after we got to know her, she brings with her one of the most anticipated series of the year, maybe even of the last few years, no less.
HBO's big-budget adaptation of one of the most successful and acclaimed PlayStation games of all time follows a smuggler dealing with personal trauma (The Mandalorian's Pedro Pascal) who leads a girl named Ellie (Game of Thrones' rising star Bella Ramsay) across a post-apocalyptic United States. Apocalyptic, after the world's population has been very severely affected by a deadly virus.
That young woman may be the key to the cure for the plague and to saving the human race, but the road to freedom will not be easy at all.
As if the expectations for the series were not high enough, the fact that it was created by Craig Mazin - the creator of the masterful "Chernobyl", along with the creator of the original game Neil Druckman - raises the level of excitement among those who played the game even more, and certainly among the viewers, who are religiously waiting for the moment The first where they can watch this intriguing drama.

That '90s Show (Netflix)
Oh oh, how the world has been waiting for this series.
More than 16 years have passed since the end of "That 70's Show", during which most of its actors became real stars (and in the case of Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher, spouses off the set as well).
But as befits a world that lives on remakes, reboots and what not, the series is now receiving a spin-off, but with a surprising twist: it will take place in the 90s, and the main actors in it will be none other than Kitty and Red Furman, the parents of Eric, the protagonist of the original series.
Of course, this time too there will be some teenagers who will be at the center of the plot, but let's face it: we are here for the nostalgia, to see where the characters are today (almost all of them will be guests in the new series) and above all to laugh just as we laughed in the mother series.
