After a month in which memorable and discussable series premiered such as "La casa del dragón," "Los Bridgerton," and "Presunto inocente," July has brought premieres that may be a bit more discreet, but there are always titles worth recommending, especially for those looking to disconnect during the holiday season.

In addition to the finale of "Élite," the third season of "Vikingos: Valhalla" also arrived on Netflix, bidding farewell to one of the audience's favorite series. Although in a completely different genre, history fans can also enjoy the remake that Apple TV+ has released of a classic adventure and time travel story by Terry Gilliam, which they can also enjoy with the little ones at home.

The same platform has also premiered a series produced by A24 about a woman and a companion robot, and another starring Natalie Portman, this time a dark and delirious noir thriller. Finally, a Korean dystopian thriller that will especially please fans of "Squid Game."

"Sunny" (Apple TV+)

This A24 production is a thriller with elements of dark comedy, created by Katie Robbins, writer of "The Affair" and "El último magnate." Rashida Jones plays Suzie, an American woman living in Kyoto whose life is disrupted when her husband and son disappear in a mysterious plane accident. As a "consolation," they give her "Sunny," one of the new companion robots manufactured by her husband's electronics company.

Although initially offended by Sunny's attempts to fill the void in her life, they gradually strike up an unexpected friendship as they uncover the dark truth of what really happened to her family.

"Bargain" (SkyShowtime)

In this dystopian thriller, a series of men are drawn to a remote hotel under the premise of having sexual encounters but end up trapped in a network of organ trafficking where organs are sold to the highest bidder. After a catastrophic earthquake, victims, traffickers, and buyers are trapped inside a building on the brink of collapse. Cut off from communication, they must fight to survive the disaster at any cost.

This Korean series won the award for Best Screenplay at the Canneseries Festival, was selected for the Toronto International Film Festival, and was nominated for the Critics Choice Award for Best Foreign Language Series.
