Bowing Feb. 15 on Netflix, “Eva Lasting” hit its Top 10 in 14 countries across much of Latin America, scoring a global Top 10 berth, and now prompting the platform to order a second season just days after its release.
A high-end Caracol TV production that puts on full display the benefits of streamer backing, the sleek 13-episode show, directed by Mateo Stivelberg and Maria Gamboa, taps into the comforts that Latin American telenovelas have accustomed their audiences to while finding solid and sometimes new narrative ground in its runtime.
Set at a 1976 Bogotá against the background of Colombia’s rampant modernization, the story follows Camilo (Emmanuel Restrepo) and his group of friends in a public boys school whose lives are irreparably changed when Eva (Francisca Estévez) becomes its first female student. Keenly aware of the tropes invoked down the decades by this kind of premise, the showplaces with them while giving color and depth to its characters.

Eva Lasting (La Primera Vez) is a Colombian teen series created by Dago García starring Emmanuel Restrepo and Francisca Estévez Navas.
Eva Lasting is one of those series that finds its inspiration in great tv successes like “Those Marvelous Years” and similar ones that make memories of better times a great chance to re-live them, make us listen to songs of those times, good settings and sure-fire use of a terrain in which you either do very badly or you succeed and have an assured audience because, more than listening to this story they come to tell, what they are up to is re-living their own story.
About the Series
And, Eva Lasting series is not bad at all. It is also not a systematic repetition nor a “safe” interpretation of the Seventies: here they tell us a story and manage to create a series that is far removed from...

February is for lovers. But with its list of new releases for February 2023, Netflix is unveiling another season of arguably its least romantic show.
That’s right: Joe is returning in You season 4 part 1 on Feb. 9. This time around our central stalker played by Penn Badgley is across the pond in jolly old England, living an unassuming life as a bearded professor and looking for his next target. If you don’t get your fill of You this month, stay tuned for the second part of season 4 in March.
You will be joined in February by a third season of another buzzy Netflix original. The kids of Outer Banks return on Feb. 23 to find their literal and metaphorical treasure once and for all. Other originals this month include rich dog docuseries Gunther’s Millions on Feb. 1 and animated family title My Dad the Bounty Hunter on Feb. 9.
