The new generations are addicted to fictions of yesteryear, while some continue to insist that “no one watches TV anymore”
Last weekend, the Tarazona Comedy Film Festival, one of the most beloved film events, concluded. Together with San Sebastián, Málaga or the FesTVal de Vitoria, it is one of the most famous meeting places of our cinema. In front of a crowded audience, countless filmmakers and popular faces come together as a limited partnership to celebrate the festival of Spanish cinema. This year Miguel Rellán, Pedro Casablanc, Leticia Dolera and Fran Perea received a well-deserved tribute. Artists with exemplary resumes in comedy, on the small and big screen, or on stage. The weight of television is obvious when it comes to measuring guest awareness.
The audience in particular applauds and takes a selfie with those who have triumphed at home. Almost two decades have passed since the premiere of ‘Los Serrano’ and people continue to remember their characters.
Jimmy Barnatán, the endearing actor who played Chucky, didn’t stop receiving the affection of a small audience in Tarazona. How is it possible that the little ones approach him enthusiastically? “Now the kids see me in ‘streaming’,” he noted. Series such as ‘Los Serrano’, now available on Prime Video, are enjoying a second life across platforms. The new generations are addicted to the fictions of yesteryear, while some continue to insist that ‘no one watches TV anymore’. It’s time to think about the non-existence of a current affairs proposal on mainstream channels that directly bridges the gap of “When Leaving the Classroom”, “Companions” and other Spanish-branded family series that attracted so many viewers. And they keep doing it. ‘Nobody lives here’ works ‘online’ like the first day. Let’s give it a spin.
