Han transcurrido muchos años desde que las tramas de espionaje e investigación se transformaron en un género distintivo, cautivando la imaginación y el interés de las audiencias. Estas historias han generado personajes memorables y narrativas envolventes. Un ejemplo de ello es la nueva serie original de HBO, «EL SIMPATIZANTE», que se transmite en HBO y Max , con nuevos episodios disponibles semanalmente.
Esta serie, basada en la novela ganadora del Premio Pulitzer de Viet Thanh Nguyen, aborda el espionaje con un matiz de sátira intercultural a lo largo de siete episodios, transportando a los espectadores a los últimos días de la Guerra de Vietnam.
Inspirado por este lanzamiento, Max ha seleccionado una variedad de series de espías disponibles en la plataforma. Estas producciones, protagonizadas por hábiles agentes secretos y detectives perspicaces, brindan una dosis de adrenalina y tensión a los espectadores que disfrutan de emociones intensas.
EL SIMPATIZANTE (THE SYMPATHIZER)
La miniserie sigue la vida de un espía comunista, mitad francés, mitad vietnamita, en los tumultuosos días finales de la Guerra de Vietnam. La trama sigue su viaje como refugiado en Los Ángeles, donde descubre que su pasado de espionaje todavía lo persigue.
Reconocida por la BBC como la mejor serie de televisión del siglo XXI, el drama aborda la dura realidad de las calles de Baltimore, contada desde diferentes ángulos, y muestra las diversas técnicas de espionaje que utiliza el detective de policía Jimmy McNulty (Dominic West) para resolver sus casos.
EL MENTALISTA (THE MENTALIST)
La serie sigue a Patrick Jane (Simon Baker), un consultor independiente de la Oficina de Investigación de California, reconocido por sus métodos poco convencionales y sus habilidades de observación para resolver crímenes.
