What's On Tonight (Friday): No Hay Nadie Aquí Excepto Nosotros, Pollos Sin Cabeza...

     

Pollos Sin Cabeza (Headless Chickens)

Estaba listo para hacer que la nueva serie de Amazon, Citadel, fuera la mejor elección de hoy, pero luego AV Club le dio una D+. Entonces, DEFINITIVAMENTE iba a darle Top Pick, pero cuanto más leo sobre esto, más creo que debería mantener bajas mis expectativas y, por poder, las de todos. Por otro lado, el tráiler de Pollos Sin Cabeza es bastante encantador incluso con los subtítulos apagados. Todavía no estoy seguro de qué se trata realmente el programa, pero aquí en What's On Tonight creemos que el idioma no debería ser una barrera para el entretenimiento.

Top Pick

⚽ Pollos Sin Cabeza (Headless Chickens)✔️ (HBO Max, 3:01 AM) SERIES PREMIERE. 'Follows the story of Alberto Martin Ruiz, a former soccer player and present player representative who everyone refers to as Beto. With the help of his girlfriend Sonia, a woman who knows him better than anyone else, Beto establishes his own representation agency and strives to strike a balance between his wild business world and his erratic personal life.'

Elsewhere...

*Disney is giving us yet another Peter Pan movie.  What sets this one apart?  This one is directed by David Lowery.  Lowery directed the remake of Pete's Dragon, the first five minutes of which scarred me for life, as well as The Old Man and the Gun and The Green Knight.  I'm not gonna herald it a classic just yet but I will say Neverland looks a hell of a lot better in this one's trailer than anything in Hook.

*Judging by the trailer, Citadel has an obsession with Priyanka Chopra's butt.  I was very close to giving it Top Pick for that alone.  Thank you, Russo Brothers.  First for your episodes of Community, then for Winter Soldier, and now for this (it should have been called Sitadel - Am I right?  Am I right?  HIGH FIVE!)

Premieres

Citadel (ah, yeah)
