The consultancy firm held its classic Fresh TV Fiction conference at Mipcom, where series starring women against the domination of men and the system was highlighted as a great trend.
After Monday’s session focused on formats, this Tuesday the Debussy Theater room was full for the traditional Fresh TV Fiction conference, where The Wit reviewed the most outstanding titles on the international market during the last season.
Inspired by the latest Netflix hit Squid Game, the team chose as the theme for this edition: “Fiction against domination” and, as Virginia Mouseler explained, the selection mainly features “women against domination of men and of the system”.
Thus, most of the series chosen feature female characters.
Of the 19 featured titles, the vast majority are European. The Turkish series had its leading role with three titles, Barbarrosa, The Usual Suspects and Love, Reason, Get Even. In the Hispanic world, meanwhile, Mexico stands out, the only representative with the telenovela La desalmada, an adaptation of the Colombian La dama de Troya by Televisa.
The Wit this time separated the fictions into different categories: hits, adapted formats, the new Turkish wave, angry women and comedies.
