Writers’ and actors’ strikes have left US free-to-air television almost completely unavailable, and platforms, while still well-stocked, are cautious about publishing to avoid the fallout from a strike that is yet to happen could last weeks. Without going into detail, of the titles we selected this month, half were published months ago in their country of origin. One of these series, now arriving in Spain, is an acclaimed television creation from the director of Puñales por la corazón. The fiction based on the Metropolitan Police case is also published, and one of Britain’s most acclaimed police officers of recent times arrives.
