The two new Netflix shows everyone will be talking about in July
One of the biggest international pop stars in the world right now is a singer from Argentina: Lali Esposito, whose latest album Libro was released back in the fall. She’s a freakishly talented “reina de la musica pop argentina,” but she’s also famous for more than just music. She can act, too. Currently, she’s also a judge on Argentina’s version of the reality singing competition The Voice. And she also stars in one of my favorite new shows on Netflix right now. It’s Sky Rojo, a bloody, sexy, Tarantino-style Spanish-language series that’s loud, messy, escapist fun of the highest order.
The show’s second season debuts July 23, and these are a few of the many draws the series has going for it. First, exotic locales (it was shot across mainland Spain and in the Canary Islands). In addition, the three main women around which the show revolves are beautiful and captivating. And it doesn’t hurt that one of them is an international pop star. There are guns, shootouts, and an abundance of skin — since the three women are on the run, having escaped from a brothel. But best of all: Sky Rojo comes from the creators of Money Heist, one of Netflix’s biggest hit shows of all time.
New shows on Netflix in July
Because of all this, and more, Sky Rojo Season 2 is one of Netflix’s new July shows that I couldn’t be any more hyped for.
Another great thing about it is the episodes pack a punch. Because none of them surpass the half-hour mark, that means the creators have to make every second count. And, honestly, more TV should practice this. Moreover, as far as ratings go, the show’s Rotten Tomatoes scores are also pretty solid. As of the time of this writing, Sky Rojo has a 100% critics score and 76% audience score on the review aggregation site.
