Among the most watched series of the week, we have some news in the spotlight that demonstrate how much the Brazilian audience is always looking for great news in streaming and that every great preview is enough to change the audience’s favorites.
A good example of this is one of the launches of Netflix on the possible return of Jesus. The series that adapts the comic American Jesusby cartoonist Mark Millar, came making a lot of noise with a provocative plot full of twists and turns and demonstrates how well these jokes with religion and the contemporary world still work.
At the same time, we have some rather curious comebacks, such as The witcher AND The Last of Uswhich reappear here after some time, which reinforces the success of the game adaptations in series form.

The story of this post-apocalyptic world in which a smuggler has to take a girl from one part of the country to another is a tough journey, not only because of the constant risk of being contaminated by that killer mushroom that turns people into zombies, but because of the difficult decisions they will have to make.

Based on the comics by Mark Millar, the elected brings with it a premise already somewhat familiar to the public. After all, what would the world be like if Jesus Christ returned today?
