When some French journalists asked Hitchcock "what is cinema?", The director quickly answered them: "A large room full of seats that must be filled as necessary."
Professional pragmatism.
Something similar can be attributed to Álex Pina, creator with Esther Martínez Lobato of
Sky Rojo
(Netflix), who did not hesitate to confirm that if the platform decides to renew based on statistics and accounts, the third season of
Sky Rojo
may appear
.
For this reason, he decided to write an open ending, to simplify the production of the following season just in case Netflix required it.
A stalls that must be filled as it is or the renewal of a series if Netflix so decided, after checking the accounts, of course.

`Sky Rojo´, the alibi for machismo and violence
From dreamy cinema as an adventure to movies and series as an investment.
Las Novias, a large roadside brothel in the desert landscape of Arico, Tenerife.
Three of the various semi-enslaved prostitutes who work there, Verónica Sánchez, Lali Espósito and Yani Prado, rebel, leave the owner, Asier Etxeandia badly injured, and begin a complicated escape mercilessly pursued by two henchmen of the brothel owner, Miguel Ángel Silvestre and Enric Auquer.

Great performances to add to the solid Luis Zahera.
Action, Tarantinian violence and a distant reminder of From
Dawn
, albeit without vampires.
Pina's professionalism is demonstrated by citing just three of her series:
Vis a Vis
,
El embarcadero
and, above all,
La casa de papel
.
In a few days the second season will be broadcast, something necessary due to the abrupt end of the first.
There will be another eight chapters of less than 30 minutes each with, hopefully, less justifying speeches from Romeo, the owner of the brothel.
