The serial calendar seems to have taken February as a month of transition, halfway between the bets with which they want to dazzle at the beginning of the year and the artillery with which they attack the platforms when spring approaches.
In the absence of a title that stands out from the rest in terms of expectations (
The Last of Us did it in January and the returns of
The Mandalorian
and
Succession
are reserved for March
), this will be a good month to find hidden gems, different proposals and get carried away by stories with an eccentric or surreal point, emotional dramas and black comedies.
