1. “FC Barcelona: A New Era” (Prime Video, Wednesday)
On 14 August 2020, Barça experienced one of the most devastating consequences in its history: 2-8 against Bayern in LisbonQuarter-finals of the Champions League.

A vision of changes from the inside is promised, with exclusive images and searing moments of reality.
2. ‘Documentary now! (season 4)’ (AMC+, Thursday)
While it still seems incredible, there is (and survives) a comedy dedicated to parodying famous documentaries: ‘Documentary now!’. It’s going to the fourth season, not the 53rd season as announced with the new episodes, but it still deserves it. In this new installment, we can expect humorous versions of Werner Herzog and Agnès Varda’s ‘The Octopus taught me’ (along with my recent obsession with crooks) or ‘Vogue, September issue’ starring Cate Blanchett. .
3. “Alpha Men” (Netflix, Friday)
Siblings Alberto and Laura CaballeroThe creators of ‘La que se avecina’ and ‘El pueblo’ make their Netflix debut with the story of four forty-year-old friends (Fernando Gil, Fele Martínez, Raúl Tejon, Gorka Otxoa) trying to adapt to the new masculinity and feminism. His path will not be easy: In the trailer, we hear Raúl (Badger) say, “Even God cannot deconstruct my masculinity.” It’s a comedy, but it’s pretty dramatic that people like this continue to exist to be caricatured. It will be a success.
4. “Kaleidoscope” (Netflix, Sunday)
Four years after “Bandersnatch,” the interactive episode of “Black mirror,” Netflix returns to take advantage of the Christmas break to launch a narrative experiment. This time it is not an adventure, but a way to follow it. The six episodes of this heist series can be watched in any preferred order without compromising our overall storytelling. Each one is named with a color and takes place at a different point in time. Choose your own timeline.
5. “The Beast” (Netflix, Sunday)
That same Sunday, the platform launched this 2004 anime classic, an adaptation of the manga of the same name. naoki urasava. The story revolves around Japanese neurosurgeon Kenzo Tenma, who makes a decision with long-term unintended consequences by disobeying the director of the Düsseldorf hospital where he works.
