10 jewels hidden on platforms to discover this summer _

Summer has always been a time to discover series that had been overlooked, or to see those that we always recommend and that we never have time to watch. That is why we have compiled ten that are more or less hidden in the catalogues of the streaming platforms and which are worth taking a look at in these months of heat.

'for all mankind'

Available on Apple TV +.

The spectacular finale of her second season has caused for all mankind to begin to be rediscovered by a number of spectators who dismissed her from the initial contingent of Apple TV +. The series, produced by Ronald D. Moore, tells the alternative history of the space race if it had been the USSR, and not the United States, that first took man to the Moon. That fact ended up reverberating throughout the history of both countries between the 1970s and 1990s.

'Why they kill women'

Available in HBO Spain.

Marc Cherry, creator of desperate Women, continues to explore the frustrations, desires and pressures of women through a series with a premise of the most interesting: its protagonists live in three different timelines (the 50s, the 80s and the present) but share the same conflict, the infidelity of their husbands. Why they kill women, with a second season telling another story set in 1949, keeps those touches of black humor brand of the house.

"this shit beats me."

Available in Netflix.

Adaptation of a Charles S. Forsman comic, this shit beats me is a teenage series with a twist: its protagonist discovers that she has telekinetic powers that are unleashed when she's very angry, or scared or stressed. With a visual appearance very clearly influenced by John Hughes' films, the series relies on Sophia Lillis's performance of that young woman who is beginning to find out who she is with the shadow of her father's death always flying over her.

'Giri / Haji'

Available in Netflix.

Giri / Haji is a miniseries that unites Japanese and British cultures, and their different ways of narrating, through the story of a Tokyo policeman who goes to London looking for his brother, who is involved in Yakuza. His mission there will lead him to cross the path of a British inspector who is separated by her companions and who begins to be curious about that quiet man who seems to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders.

'Sneaky Pete'.

Available on Amazon Prime video.

It's funny that Sneaky Pete went so unnoticed with the credentials he landed on Amazon. Its creators are David Shore (House) and Bryan Cranston, just after breaking bad, and its protagonist is Giovanni Ribisi, who plays a con man who, upon leaving prison, decides to start a new life by supplanting the identity of his cellmate. That will lead him to get into more dangerous circles than he was used to driving before.

'losing Alice'

Available on Apple TV +.

Disturbing, twisted, sensual and disturbing, losing Alice is a thriller centered on a reputable marriage of Israeli filmmakers. She is a director, but she is now overwhelmed by family life, while he is a successful actor in search of respect for criticism. Alice finds an incredible and erotic screenplay of a debutante who wants to take to the cinema, but in the process she will enter into a game of desires and frustrations that threatens to reverse her entire world.

'GLOW'

Available in Netflix.

Glow had four seasons, and yet she's not as well known as she deserves. It is a dramedia about a women's wrestling program launched in the 1980s that may be the last chance for characters such as Allison Brie and Betty Gilpin, an unemployed actress and an old horseman star who finds it hard to get back to work after having a baby. Around it is formed a heterogeneous group of women looking for a gap to show their worth.

'Phantomas'

Available in Movistar +.

Among the premieres of the new season of open American channels will be a remake of ghosts, a British comedy with such a simple premise, that it ends up being very fertile ground for all kinds of stories. A couple moves into an old mansion in the field that's full of spirits that only the woman can see. His two seasons are full of charm, silly humor, and a group of characters who end up loving each other.

'crazy ex-girlfriend'

Available in Netflix.

Crazy ex-girlfriend es una de las series recientes más inclasificables. Su protagonista, Rebecca, se muda de Nueva York a West Covina (California) siguiendo a un amor de adolescencia, pero esa mudanza enmascara otros problemas que Rebecca irá desenredando a través de canciones que parodian todos los géneros musicales imaginables, desde el musical clásico de Hollywood al R&B, el rock independiente o el hip-hop. Si echas de menos La extraordinaria playlist de Zoey, esta es tu serie.

'Mr Inbetween'

Available in HBO Spain.

Barry's not the only series starring a hit man. Mr. Inbetween follows a thug who doesn't have any ethical dilemmas doing his job, but must reconcile him with his eight-year-old daughter and a new sentimental relationship that is starting. It is a comedy with a lot of black humor in which the conflicts of its protagonist arrive because of how complicated it is sometimes to keep his friends and the people he wants close to him because of his trade.
