Spanish TV Titles to Track at the Berlinale, From Raunchy Comedy to Gen Z Travails and Real Life Drama


Spain’s lineup ranges from a vampire dramedy to a blighted teen adventure, an absurdist parable and true life immigrant crisis drama.

Created by Enrique “Flipy” Pérez Vergara, at Studio 60, the miniseries, broadcast in its entirety on Sunday primetime, Jan. 21, hit a 13.1% share, RTVE’s best fiction result in nearly a year. “Red Flags” is a portrait of the often-painful sexual and emotional awakening of four Gen Z teens: macho gay Toni; Erika, with an eating disorder; Luna, riled by Jorge’s budding embrace of the patriarchy; and Walter, pushing back at peer pressure to be one of the boys. From Carmona, who earned a short-format International Emmy nomination in 2019 for “People Talking,” new series is a dramedy of the absurd set in a modern world where every- body is searching for visibility.
