Adolescence is a period of great interest for audiovisual creation. Given that it is a time of constant change, experimentation and personal evolution, it allows us to make real emotional journeys together with the characters and learn more about ourselves or the new generations through them. Precisely for this reason, the original production of Movistar + was so liked Merlí: Sapere audewhose second season is already available on Netflix.
Conceived as a spin-off of Merli (TV3) this series aimed to shed some light on the challenges that Spanish university students face when undertaking the great leap of maturity of their lives. Critical thinking, autonomous work, sexual and sentimental exploration and the personal struggle for a future of one’s own are the protagonists of this stage, the culmination of coming of age cinematographic (maturation process).
The fact that the problems and concerns of young people are taken seriously is probably one of the keys to the success of this series, as has also happened more recently with HIT, the TVE series with Daniel Grao as the main character. For those who did not follow the trail of Merli (available on RTVE Play and Amazon Prime Video), the student Pol Rubio (Carlos Cuevas, 45 revolutions, someone has to die) was so impressed by the influence of an inspiring Philosophy professor, played by Francesc Orella (Inés of my soul, Maradona, blessed dream) who ended up studying precisely that career. His apprenticeship and his personal adventures and misadventures during Two seasons can now be seen in full on Netflix.
