It never ceases to amaze me how much free time people have.
There are people who, week after week, beg you to recommend a series.
Sometimes they call themselves seriéphiles, and sometimes they don't call themselves anything at all, and just want to kill the time between today and the day they die.

'Balenciaga', 'Nacho', 'Doctor García's patients'... The Spanish series that will be talked about in 2023
According to the newspaper
Las Provincias,
in Spain in June 2022 there were 4,382 series available on platforms.
Today, at the end of January 2023, there will be about fifty more (at least).
We live in a happy audiovisual bubble that one day will explode.
We will miss these times of television bulimia.
For a few months now, viewers have seen how the series that we are excited about are canceled without having had a worthy ending.
As if all the series did not close with a moment of mystery
just in case
(known as a
cliffhanger
) in case the thing worked, and as if it was not customary in the sector, since time immemorial, to squeeze the orange until the last drop, until crushing the pulp.
As if
Perdidos
hadn't been a scam with an ending only comparable to
Los Serrano
;
although in
Los Serrano
at least they were honest with that ending.
Canceled series without an ending are the beginning of the end of this golden age.
People who have so much free time to watch series will gradually turn their smile into disappointment when, by order of a bunch of gelato with an MBA, they begin to see series that are completely homogeneous in terms of theme, script, cast, setting.
The platform market is peaking.
They already have our metrics, our
big data
.
The canceled series are the beginning.
The canceled series are the beginning.
Enjoy while you can and don't choke, because in life you can do many things apart from watching TV.
