\n\tSpain\u2019s turbulent democratic transition gets a forensic, almost procedural treatment in Anatomy of a Moment, a historical drama built around the failed 1981 coup d\u2019etat that nearly returned Spain\u2019s neophyte democracy to Fascism. <\/p>\n
\n\tDirected by Alberto Rodr\u00edguez and based on Javier Cercas\u2019 bestselling account, the series features Money Heist<\/a> star \u00c1lvaro Morte as Prime Minister Adolfo Su\u00e1rez, one of the main instigators of the coup. The Moviestar+ series is a powerful, and timely, reminder that democracy often hangs by a thread.<\/p>\n \t\u2018Burden of Justice\u2019<\/p>\n \t\t\t \n\tSweden\u2019s legal system becomes a battleground in Burden of Justice, a contemporary drama that blends courtroom tension with the moral unease of a Nordic thriller. <\/p>\n \n\tSet inside a elite Stockholm defense firm Matsson & Markovic \u2014\u00a0the kind of shop that represents drug barons and rich rapists \u2014\u00a0the series tracks a group of lawyers navigating a shifting legal landscape where new laws blur the line between justice and expediency. <\/p>\n \n\tCreated by Snabba Cash and Top Dog writer Jens Lapidus, the show, being sold by DR Sales, avoids easy answers to remain in an grey world of ethical compromise. <\/p>\n \t\u2018Dear Killer Nannies\u2019<\/p>\n \t\t\t \n\tColombia\u2019s Dear Killer Nannies, which is going out on Disney+ and Hulu and being sold by The Walt Disney Company, revisits the story of drug lord Pablo Escobar from the childhood perspective of his son, who was raised in privilege by a cadre of \u201cnannies\u201d who were actually his father\u2019s hired killers. <\/p>\n \n\tBased on the memoirs of Juan Pablo Escobar, who co-created the show together with Sebasti\u00e1n Ortega, showrunner on Netflix hit El Marginal, the series reframes a familiar history of violence and crime through a more intimate, unsettling lens. <\/p>\n \t\u2018Dustfall\u2019<\/p>\n \t\t\t \n\tAustralia\u2019s Dustfall has the engine of a noir procedural. When a young woman is discovered naked and bloody in a cane field in Queensland with no memory of what happened to her, detective Tig Pollard (Anna Torv from The Last of Us<\/a> and Mindhunter) is drawn in, and quickly finds something deeper and darker behind the crime, digging up buried trauma from her own past. <\/p>\n \n\tWhat sets this Australian thriller apart is its broader exploration of the long-lasting impact of sexual violence and exploitation, in all its forms. A co-production of Australia\u2019s ABC, the BBC and Germany\u2019s ZDF, Dustfall is being sold worldwide by Federation International. <\/p>\n \t\u2018Small Prophets\u2019<\/p>\n \t\t\t \n\tDetectorists<\/a> writer\/director Mackenzie Crook finds the magical in the everyday in his new sort-of sitcom, a melancholic chuckler that is part workplace comedy, part existential exploration of grief and wonder.<\/p>\n \n\tPearce Quigley plays Michael Sleep, a man disrupted. His girlfriend Clea disappeared 7 years ago, on Christmas Eve, and ever since then, Michael has been going through the motions, sleepwalking through his job at a hardware superstore \u2014 his main task seems to be winding up the customers with stories of \u201ctartan paint\u201d \u2014 and watching his garden grow wild around his silent house, hoping somehow that Clea will return. <\/p>\n \n\tWhen his eccentric and cognitively-confused father Brian (a superb Michael Palin) suggests an impossible, supernatural solution, Michael decides to take the leap, setting of a series of events both strange, wondrous and utterly unexpected. This gem of a show, produced by the BBC is being sold by Sphere Abacus worldwide.<\/p>\n \t\u2018The Best Immigrant\u2019<\/p>\n \t\t\t \n\tBelgium\u2019s The Best Immigrant imagines a near future where migration policy has devolved into spectacle. In an independent Flanders governed by a far-right regime, foreign-born residents face expulsion \u2014 unless they can win a reality competition offering residency as its prize. Imagine The Traitors meets Squid Game produced by ICE. <\/p>\n \n\tCreated by Raoul Groothuizen and Cristina Poppe, the series\u2019 dystopian future is uncomfortably plausible, and its focus on the personal stories, of migrants fighting for their lives, makes the stakes feel immediate and real. Premiering on Belgium\u2019s Streamz platform, The Best Immigrant is being sold by Sony Pictures Television worldwide.<\/p>\n \t\u2018The Flaws\u2019<\/p>\n \t\t\t \n\tGermany\u2019s The Flaws, from producer Razor Film and public broadcaster ZDF, takes workplace comedy into more surreal territory, following a group of underperforming civil servants who are accidentally propelled into a series of escalating misadventures. What starts as a satire of bureaucratic inertia quickly morphs into something more physical and absurd. <\/p>\n \n\tDirector Arne Feldhusen, known for German cult-comedy hits Stromberg and Der Tatortreiniger, leans heavily on physical comedy and slapstick to create a Jacques Tati-style critique of modern work culture and institutional dysfunction.<\/p>\n \t\u2018These Sacred Vows\u2019<\/p>\n \t\t\t
