The RAE defines potpourri as "a strange and confusing mixture, and sometimes ridiculous".
Exactly what happens in the viewer's mind when he watches several series and some gossip show.
The girl from Oslo
(Netflix) places us directly in the endless conflict between Arabs and Israelis, with the addition of the young Norwegian who decides to spend her vacation in Israel where she is kidnapped by an Islamic State cell, which in turn motivates the that his mother, who hides a secret that will be revealed throughout the 10 episodes of its first season, travels to the area.
A remarkable series that would have achieved excellence if instead of 10 chapters there had been six or eight.
Extending a series is not synonymous with quality, rather demands of the chain.
All the great and small creatures
(Movistar Plus + and Filmin) is another concept of entertainment.
No nationalist conflicts or fanaticism.
It narrates the adventures and misadventures of James Herriot, a veterinary assistant from Darrowby (Yorkshire), a peaceful town in the English countryside in which cattle are as important or more than people.
Nice British series that in its promotion places it in the line of
Los Durrell
, which is well seen.
From the third season of
Operation Ecstasy
(Netflix) suffice it to say that it is as good, or better, than the two great seasons that preceded it.
Finally, it remains to point out some ridiculous example to complete the potpourri: any "heart" program in which Telecinco is the queen of the house, a style that borders on indignity if not cruelty: there is the skinning of the Emeritus's son-in-law, of a lawyer from Vitoria and her husband.
