Agent Zeta (thriller film Spain) – streaming from 20 March at 8:00
Five former Spanish spies are killed simultaneously in different embassies around the world. The CNI discovers that they all participated 35 years ago in the secret “Operation Ciénaga”, which took place in Colombia and involved a sixth agent, the only one who escaped his assassins. Finding him will be the first objective of the CNI, which entrusts the mission to its best agent: Zeta. But Zeta will not be alone in his mission. Colombia is also looking for him through one of its best agents, Alfa, who seems to know more about “Ciénaga” than Spanish intelligence. As Zeta and Alfa proceed with their investigations, they will have to overcome dangers and bring to light secrets that have been kept quiet for years, real sins of the State. The darkest and most dangerous secret of all concerns the participation of a seventh agent in the mission, a spy in the shadows that no one knew about, the agent who seems to be the main reason that would explain all the murders. Codename: CASSIEL.
Deadloch 2 (Australian crime comedy TV series) – release date 18 March at 3pm
Forget Tassie Noir: Deadloch is entering his “Tropical Gothic er”. Detectives Dulcie Collins (Kate Box) and Eddie Redcliffe (Madeleine Sami) are in the sultry Australian Top End, the northernmost part of the Northern Territory, to investigate the death of Eddie’s ex-partner, Bushy. But when the body of a well-known local figure is found in a remote town, the two find themselves embroiled in a case that’s even sweatier, stickier and full of crocodiles than the last.
Closer to South Asia than the capital of Australia, our heroic town of Barra Creek is a far cry from the frigid Tasmanian setting shown in season one. Against the backdrop of lush tropical vegetation, red dirt roads that disappear into the horizon, crystal-clear waterways that are home to 65-million-year-old predators and sunsets so breathtaking they literally deserve a standing ovation every evening, the Northern Territory’s majestic landscape and climate shape the aesthetic and atmosphere of this season.
