After a month of December marked by the last measure of “Stranger Things”, which finally ends on the first day of January, the series settles into the calendar of the new year. Powerful premieres are coming, such as the return of “The Pitt” (HBO Max), the innovatively formatted medical drama, “The Bridgertons” (Netflix), which follows the romance between Benedict Bridgerton and his mystery lady at a masked ball, and “The Infiltrator” (Prime Video). January is also a month for returning to familiar places. In Westeros, with the honorable knight Ser Duncan the Great from “The Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” (HBO Max); to Marvel, with the atypical superhero of the franchise, ‘Wonder Man’ (Disney Plus), and to this inevitable habit of looking behind your back when swimming with sharks. Be careful with ‘Industry’ (HBO Max) and its fourth season. “The Pitt” is a realistic examination of the challenges facing healthcare workers in today’s America, seen through the lens of front-line heroes working in a modern Pittsburgh hospital. It also suffers from the tireless Noah Wyle, head of the ER team who faces, every season, a difficult shift with coffee (a lot), patience (sometimes) and his own hands. You can’t miss it if: you like suffering, the color of blood and you think “Grey’s Anatomy” is for softies. We have seen several generations fall in love with the Bridgertons and it seems that their lineage wants even more. In this fourth season, the first part of which arrives on Netflix in January, the second of the Bridgerton brothers and the most bohemian of the family will have to decide if what he wants most is freedom or if, due to the situation, it is time to concentrate. He will also fight against the social conventions of the time and discover what love is after meeting the mysterious Silver Lady at a masked ball. We recommend it if…: You fell in love with Regé-Jean Page, Jonathan Bailey and Luke Newton and you still want to get lost among the smell of fresh flowers and embroidered sheets of Lady Violet’s house. From the world of Westeros comes an endearing story centered on the adventures of an unexpected couple. A century before the events of “Game of Thrones,” two unlikely heroes roamed Westeros: a naive but courageous young knight, Ser Duncan the Great, and his little squire, Egg. In a time when the Targaryen dynasty still occupies the Iron Throne and the memory of the last dragon has not yet been erased from collective memory, great destinies, powerful enemies and dangerous deeds await these unlikely and incomparable friends. Don’t miss it if…: You’re a fan of buddy movies, you were disappointed by the ending of “Game of Thrones” but you still have faith in the power of George RR Martin. Simon Williams, an actor who dreams of breaking into Hollywood, cannot get his career off the ground. After a chance meeting with Trevor Slattery, a veteran actor, Simon discovers that famous director Von Kovak is preparing a remake of the superhero film Wonder Man. Both, at very different stages in their lives, set out in search of the role that could change everything, while the audience discovers what really goes on behind the scenes in the entertainment world. Don’t miss it if: you’re not the typical Marvel fan, you’ve swallowed all the Hollywood stories about actors’ beginnings, and you love the movie mecca’s navel-gazing parody. At the peak of their careers and living the life they decided to do as Pierpoint graduates, Harper (Myha’la) and Yasmin (Marisa Abela) find themselves drawn into a high-stakes game of cat and mouse that takes them across the globe when a promising fintech company bursts onto the London scene. As Yasmin evolves in her relationship with tech company founder Sir Henry Muck (Kit Harington), and Harper finds herself drawn into the orbit of enigmatic executive Whitney Halberstram (Max Minghella), their twisted friendship begins to warp and ignite under the pressures of money, power and the desire to be at the top. You can’t miss it if: you’re fighting for even a vine of bread and you’ve always suspected that dirtier things than business are going on in the big offices. Second season of the series created by Steven Knight, the man behind “Peaky Blinders”. Inspired by the real lives of a group of characters struggling to survive in the brutal East End of London in the 1880s. The story takes place a year later. Hezekiah is a shadow of the man he once was, while Sugar Goodson (Stephen Graham) is taken from his family and drinks himself to death. As Wapping is about to take his last breath, Mary Carr turns everything upside down again, followed by her faithful second, Alice Diamond. In Mary’s absence, Eliza is forced into exile after her reign fails and Indigo Jeremy takes control of the Elephants. Mary returned to round up the forty elephants and claim her crown. Mary tells Sugar she has plans for him and reluctantly forms an alliance with Hezekiah to eliminate Indigo. You can’t miss it if: You want to keep sweating and bleeding like Robert De Niro in “Raging Bull.” Nine years after the events of the first season, Jonathan Pine (Tom Hiddleston) is on a mission in Colombia involving a dangerous arms dealer, Teddy Dos Santos (Diego Calva), and his attractive partner, Roxana Bolaños (Camila Morrone). Pine infiltrates the operation and uncovers countless secrets, lies and corruption. Can he thwart her before it’s too late?
