The third season of The Gilded Age is now available on HBO Max, attracting the attention of fans of dramatic series set in the 19th century. This new installment promises to delve into the emotional conflicts of its main characters, with a particular focus on Bertha Russell and her daughter Gladys, whose relationship is central to the development of the plot.
Seasonal Salseo
In the opening episode of this season, Bertha raises the unsettling phrase: Don’t you know that a bad marriage is a prison? This statement not only highlights the internal struggle of the characters but also introduces a recurring theme throughout the series: social expectations and the personal cost they entail. The interaction between Bertha and Gladys reveals family tensions that reflect a broader context regarding power dynamics and the role of women in society at the time.
The narrative of The Gilded Age has been recognized for its vivid representation of life in New York during a period of intense social and economic change. With multilayered characters like Bertha Russell, the series encompasses not only class struggles but also the sacrifices that women must make in a male-dominated world. This third season seems to be intensifying that focus, taking viewers to explore the consequences of the characters’ decisions.
With the launch of the new season, both critics and fans have expressed their excitement about seeing how the story of these characters will unfold and how they will face new adversities. What is clear is that family tensions and personal struggles will continue to be a central part of the story, keeping the audience captivated in this historical drama.
The recent cancellation of the series Raised by Wolves on HBO Max has left deep marks on science fiction fans. Produced by Ridley Scott, the series transported us to a post-apocalyptic future where a conflict between atheists and a religious order put humanity at stake. Despite its premature ending after two seasons and a pace that many considered slow, “Raised by Wolves” stood out for its exploration of complex themes such as religion, parenthood, and the human condition.

The recent cancellation of the series Raised by Wolves from HBO Max has left deep marks on science fiction fans. Produced by Ridley Scott, the series transported us to a post-apocalyptic future where a conflict between atheists and a religious order put humanity at stake. Despite its premature ending after two seasons and a pace that many considered slow, “Raised by Wolves” stood out for its exploration of complex themes such as religion, parenthood, and the human condition.
Several Death Stranding projects in progress
However, fans of Aaron Guzikowski, the screenwriter of the series, may find comfort in his new project: a collaboration with Kojima Productions on an original story related to Death Stranding. Although it will not be an adaptation of the successful video game, Guzikowski has expressed enthusiasm for the opportunity to expand this narrative universe. Death Stranding has been considered a cinematic game that evokes emotions comparable to film classics like Blade Runner and Ghost in the Shell, promising a visually striking approach in this new project.
The animation will be carried out by Line Mileage, a studio founded by Jacob Robinson, Daniel Dominguez, and Brad Graeber, experts in adapting video games and comics. Dominguez has stated that working on Death Stranding is an honor, claiming that the experience of playing it was as emotionally intense as watching the mentioned cult films.
On the other hand, A24 is also working on a live-action adaptation of Death Stranding, directed by Michael Sarnoski, but the two productions are independent and not related to each other. The arrival of these new stories based on Death Stranding suggests an exciting phase for fans of Kojima’s work, while the absence of Raised by Wolves on platforms feels like a significant loss for the genre.

David S. Goyer, a recognized screenwriter behind major franchises like Blade and Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy, has shared interesting reflections on his career and his relationship with the DC cinematic universe. In a recent episode of the podcast Happy Sad Confused, Goyer recalled Nolan’s advice to avoid getting involved in projects following his famous trilogy, suggesting that the new DC narrative has been confusing from the start.
A cinematic universe with serious narrative problems
After the released Justice League, the DC Universe faced serious narrative cohesion problems. Although Goyer and his colleague Justin Rhodes were hired to develop a movie about Green Lantern, titled Green Lantern Corps, the project did not materialize. Currently, under the direction of James Gunn and Peter Safran, the focus has been reoriented with the announcement of a series called Lanterns for HBO, which replaces the movie that Goyer was going to write.
Over the years, Goyer has been a key player in the evolution of superheroes on the big screen, co-writing scripts for successful films like Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. However, the future of the DC cinematic universe seems to be taking a turn under Gunn’s influence, who has stated that his priority is to finish the scripts for the upcoming Batman and Wonder Woman movies, two fundamental characters of the franchise.
In this context, Robert Pattinson has established himself as the only active Batman after debuting in The Batman in 2022, with plans to continue his story in The Batman 2. Gunn’s goal is to introduce other key characters from the DC universe, starting with the highly anticipated return of Superman on July 11.

If you don’t like the aesthetic change, we have gameplay changes
In addition to this cosmetic refresh, the latest update, titled Chase the Skies, is released today on all platforms. This new adventure allows players to find a dry ghast in the Nether and revive it by placing it in water, which will lead to a care process until it becomes a happy ghast that players can ride and explore the skies of the Overworld.
The update also introduces a location bar to facilitate the search for friends in multiplayer mode, which will enhance the social experience of the game. In terms of music, composer Amos Roddy has created six new tracks that will enrich the atmosphere of the game in different biomes of the Overworld. However, players will need to meet a specific condition to obtain the track Tears, which can only be looted from a ghast after an unconventional defeat.
In other news related to Minecraft, themed baseball catas have been presented in collaboration with Major League Baseball, highlighting the ongoing innovation and expansion of the game in different cultural contexts. Additionally, the Minecraft movie, a major box office success with over 800 million dollars in earnings, will premiere on the Max platform on June 20 and on HBO on June 21, promising to attract even more fans to this creative universe.
The highly anticipated movie based on the popular video game, A Minecraft Movie, will be released on the Max platform on June 20. This announcement has generated great excitement among fans of the game, especially in countries where Max is available, including the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore. For those in regions where the service does not operate, such as the United Kingdom, Canada, and India, the option to rent or purchase the movie will be available through platforms like Amazon and Apple TV.

The long-awaited movie based on the popular video game, A Minecraft Movie, will be released on the Max platform on June 20. This announcement has generated great excitement among fans of the game, especially in countries where Max is available, including the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore. For those in regions where the service does not operate, such as the United Kingdom, Canada, and India, the option to rent or purchase the movie will be available through platforms like Amazon and Apple TV.
If you missed it in theaters, this is for you
The movie, which debuted in theaters on March 4, features a star-studded cast including Jason Momoa, Jack Black, Danielle Brooks, Emma Myers, and Sebastien Hansen. In the plot, five humans are transported to the video game dimension, known as the Overworld, where they must join forces to defeat the villain Malgosha, who seeks to dominate the world with a magical artifact called the Orb of Dominance.
Since its release, A Minecraft Movie has proven to be a resounding box office success, accumulating over $951.51 million worldwide, making it one of the standout film productions of the year. However, it is rumored that Disney’s remake of Lilo & Stitch could surpass the Minecraft movie before its run in theaters ends, as it has grossed approximately $858.3 million globally.
Despite initial doubts about its success, A Minecraft Movie has exceeded expectations, demonstrating that the fervor of the game’s fan base and viral content on social media have contributed to its popularity. Critics have had mixed opinions, but it seems that Warner Bros. could maintain its box office lead for a while longer, at least until the release of anticipated feature films like Superman and The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
If you think of HBO, you will surely think of the same series as everyone else: Six Feet Under, The Sopranos, The Wire… Masterpieces of television, yes, of course. But at the same time, don’t you feel like there’s still so much left to watch in a catalog full of wonders (and other series that are not so great)? We have explored HBO (and Max, its counterpart that offers series online and not on traditional television) to find 6 series that are not so common or easy to recommend that you will fall in love with at first sight.

If you think of HBO, you probably think of the same series as everyone else: Six Feet Under, The Sopranos, The Wire… Masterpieces of television, yes, of course. But at the same time, don’t you feel like there’s still so much left to watch in a catalog full of wonders (and other series that aren’t as great)? We’ve explored HBO (and Max, its counterpart that offers series online and not on traditional television) to find 6 not-so-common and not-so-easy-to-recommend series that you will fall in love with at first sight. Because it can’t all be Game of Thrones.
Hacks
After four seasons, it’s impossible not to be in love with Deborah and Ava, the most dysfunctional comedy duo in television history. An egocentric elderly comedian seeking reinvention and a young, committed, activist writer come together to relaunch the former’s career. Along the way, there are many laughs, quite a few tears, separations, reunions, and a lot, a lot of friendship. Each season, the bar is raised a little higher, and you would do well to arrive on time for the fifth. That said: get ready to fall at the feet of Jean Smart. It can’t be any other way.
The essays
It only has two seasons, but Nathan Fielder has already changed the history of television forever with The Rehearsals. Based on a thesis (to improve in life and do things correctly, one can rehearse to perfection), Fielder plays in the first season with the creation of a family. In the second, making a giant leap by fixing airplane accidents and improving communication between pilot and co-pilot. The way to do it is the unexpected, and what will seem impossible to believe. A true tour de force and a monumental effort to carry out one of the most sensational absurdities of the medium.
Watchmen
Forget the comic. Forget the movie. Forget everything you thought you knew about Watchmen, because Damon Lindelof was able to reinvent Alan Moore’s comic and create a sequel that also serves as a reimagining and adapts to modern times. The result, from its spectacular start in Tulsa, is fantastic on all levels. Whether you know the comic beforehand or are new to it, this is much more than just a simple superhero series: it is a Polaroid of our society. Let’s see who can do something similar.
Creature Commandos
This is indeed just a superhero series, but it is anything but simple: James Gunn has begun his DC Universe with Creature Commandos, an animated series that brings together a group of the most unusual superheroes, each with their quirks, feelings, and life goals. What I didn’t expect while watching this supposed madness filled with gunfire, blood, swearing, and strange things was to end up feeling emotional. If this is what’s coming from now on in DC, count me in as a new and faithful believer.
Poison
It is one of the few series that Max has produced in Spain that has had a real social impact, and it’s no wonder: the life of Cristina Ortiz, “La Veneno”, gains depth when reinterpreted by Los Javis, with an incredible recreation of the context of her success, her fall from grace, and what she has meant for the trans community, both for better and for worse. That moment in the studio of Esta noche cruzamos el Mississippi is not easily forgotten. Absolute masterpiece.
How to with John Wilson
But for a masterpiece, these 18 episodes (divided into 3 seasons) of John Wilson, a New York documentary filmmaker who always carries his camera looking for the exceptional, the unique, the beauty of the everyday. And, little by little, unraveling the thread, he ends up in the strangest, most absurd, and fascinating places you can imagine, summarizing, in some way, the experience of being human. And all of this with discomfort, inappropriate jokes, and a breathtaking elegance. Is it my favorite series of the last five years? Well, frankly, it’s likely.

On June 13, the platform Max will premiere Súper Sara, a documentary directed by Valeria Vegas that explores the lesser-known life of Sara Montiel, whose real name was María Antonia Abad Fernández. Considered one of the most iconic actresses in the history of Spain, Montiel left an indelible mark not only on Spanish cinema but also in Hollywood, where she mingled with great figures like Marlon Brando and Alfred Hitchcock.
A great star not only in Spain
This documentary, which consists of three chapters, delves into Montiel’s humble origins in Campo de Criptana and her remarkable international career. Through intimate and personal material, including never-before-seen tapes, Vegas aims to humanize the artist and reclaim her image as a pioneer in various fields. Montiel was innovative in adopting much earlier than other celebrities and singing in English in the 70s, when few dared to do so.
A highlighted aspect of the documentary is the participation of Luis Fernando Carrasco, a close friend of Montiel, who, for the first time, shares his experience and perspectives. Carrasco provided a unique insight that highlights the controversy Montiel faced throughout her life, including a failed project with Mattel to create Barbies inspired by her, which was canceled after her marriage in 2000.
Valeria Vegas has also expressed interest in addressing the lives of other iconic figures such as Carmen Sevilla, although she has acknowledged the difficulties this entails due to the lack of material. With Súper Sara, Vegas not only seeks to reclaim Montiel but also to highlight her legacy as a true innovator and cultural figure of her time.

The long-awaited third season of The Last of Us will bring a significant change in the narrative: Ellie will not be the protagonist. In an unexpected twist for many fans, the story will focus on Abby, played by Kaitlyn Dever. This approach follows the structure of the game, starting from Abby’s perspective before their paths cross again.
Abby’s Journey
Co-creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann confirmed that the new season will explore Abby’s motivations and pain, presenting her more human side. According to Druckmann, the decision to shift the narrative focus responds to what the story requires, allowing for a deep exploration of this character throughout the season. The third season is designed to be ‘wetter’ and more emotional, focusing on grief rather than revenge, which marks a notable contrast with the previous season.
Although Ellie will not be at the center of the action, she is expected to have a significant role, given that her story remains intertwined with Abby’s. The season will also delve into Abby’s backstory and how her pain, especially related to her father’s death, will shape her character. Flashbacks may be used to explore her connection with the Fireflies.
Additionally, the showrunners have mentioned that the third season may be longer than the second to accommodate the development of Abby’s arc, and a fourth season is already being planned. Fans will need to be patient, as the next installment is expected to premiere in 2027. This decision has sparked debate among the show’s followers, who have considered Ellie the heart of the story since the beginning.
