1. ‘Yellowjackets’, after the wild adventure

In the past, a youth women’s soccer team is involved in a plane crash and survivors do the unimaginable to survive. Twenty-five years later, four of them (Christina Ricci, Melanie Lynskey, Juliette Lewis, Tawny Cypress: almost nothing) are reluctant to confront the secrets of that experience.

In fact, the mere mention of Joe Exotic and his tiger zoo can bring flashbacks to dark times.

The opening credits inspire confidence: again, the song ‘Tank!’ Plays. from Y & omacr; ko Kanno, a returning songwriter for the series. Netflix, Friday, the 19th.

4. ‘Rumbo al inferno’, from the director of ‘Train to Busan’

The South Korean filmmaker Yeon Sang-ho he is capable of the best (‘Train to Busan’) and the less good (‘Psychokinesis’, ‘Peninsula’). With what level of form will he surprise us now? There is intrigue surrounding this series, based on an online comic co-created by himself, about a series of strange phenomena in which mysterious beings condemn people to hell. From there arises a virulent religious group and also a determined resistance to defend sanity. Netflix, Friday, the 19th.
