9 main series of December: "Shameless", "Euphoria", and " Standoff»

In order not to get lost in the variety of TV news, we have prepared for you a guide to the 9 main series of December. Take the calendar and quickly mark the release dates with a red marker so that you don't miss anything.

In eleven long years on the air, "Shameless" has never changed the formula that made them successful: a lot of black humor and just as much heavy drama.

Fortunately, nothing has changed in the final season: each of the Gallaghers has a million problems and about as many schemes for how to make a profit from them; their native area "suffers" because of gentrification; and, as luck would have it, the Milkovichi declare war on them. It looks if not secondary, then too ordinary by the standards of the craziest family in South Chicago — neither the trailer nor the details of the new episodes create anticipation that the audience is waiting for the finale of the story.

However, this is probably how the series, which tried to document the marginal everyday life, should end — without too much pressure, happy endings and a fat dot at the end.

The pandemic, as you know, affected the shooting of dozens of TV series — but most often from this huge list remember "Euphoria", the last episode of which was released as early as August 2019.

To somehow console the poor fans, the creators decided to release two special episodes — on the poster of the first of them, which will be released in December, it is directly written " THIS NOT THE SECOND SEASON, " to lower fan expectations. It is called "Problems don't last forever" — according to the plot, Ryu, who was thrown in the finale of the first season, just celebrates Christmas.

Given the small caption on the poster "Part One: Ryu", we can safely assume that the second special episode will tell about what happened after the breakup with Jules.

"Big Mouth" is probably the most netflix series in the streaming giant's catalog and the most striking product created in the era of progressive politics, often criticized by domestic viewers.

The animated series-a story about teenage friends going through puberty-first, quite accurately adapts this strange feeling of changing the body and obsession with sex (in the series, for example, there are hormone monsters that advise the characters to masturbate more often), and secondly, acts as a kind of teacher for sexual education: tells the viewer about anatomy and physiology, and also gives good advice.

Netflix, by the way, is very fond of the series and has already extended it for three seasons ahead and even ordered a spin-off. Coming out in December, the fourth season will tell you how the characters of the series spend the summer in camp — the perfect setting for a series about knowing yourself.

American filmmakers continue to adapt Israeli TV series (by the way, this long list includes "Euphoria») — This time, the story from the little-known TV series "The Judge"will be transferred to the United States.

In the story, the son of a successful judge knocks down a motorcyclist and leaves the scene of an accident — his father first advises him to surrender, but in time he learns that it was not some commoner who died, but the child of a criminal boss. The hero decides to save his son at any cost, even if he has to go against the moral principles and ideals that once made him one of the state's chief judges.

"Your Honor" rhymes with "Protecting Jacob" -also this year's prestigious mini-series about how the hero uses his official position to save his son. Apple TV+, however, did not manage to say anything intelligible on the topic — let's hope that Showtime will be able to do it.

Amazon Prime is trying to succeed in young adult-a genre in which the same Netflix has already eaten the dog. "Savages" will be the first TV series aimed at teenagers. The decision, I must say, is correct: it is not only "The Boys" and "The Amazing Mrs. Maisel" that attract the audience.

In the story, a group of high school girls find themselves on a desert island after a plane crash — there they try to survive, break up into camps and suddenly learn the main secret: it seems that they did not get to the island by accident. The trailer of the series, oddly enough, does not cause comparisons with "Stay Alive": "Savages" rather looks like a female version of" Lord of the Flies", crossed with"Serf". On paper, this is a winning combination — let's see how the series ends up.

Of all the prequel/reboot/spin-off series in the DC universe, Pennyworth was the least credible, with an almost parodic synopsis.

This is a story about the youth of Alfred, the future butler of the Wayne family: in the alternative Britain of the 1960s, he owns a security company and tries to save Thomas Wayne.

Surprisingly, the second season of the series comes in the status of one of the most underrated projects of the past year: devoid of the already annoying tone of dark superheroics, ridiculous costumes and cringe-inducing dialogues, "Pennyworth" went to the side of "bond" and now reaps the benefits. Unlike the CW series, it looks fresh, and most importantly-he wants to give a chance.

With the penultimate (sixth — final) season, "Space" returns to small screens — one of the most underrated series on TV: the press is crazy about it, and a small army of fans is buying up the original source — a series of books by James Corey and hopes that the series will not be closed ahead of time.

In the best traditions of space Westerns, the series is dedicated to a group of motley antiheroes-crew members who, in the distant future, plow the expanses of the galaxy, engage in smuggling and reluctantly try to maintain parity in the universe in order to prevent another war.

It looks like a mixture of "Firefly" and "Battlestar Galactica" — such a spectacular science fiction with an intriguing plot and written thanks to the original source of the universe. In other words, as a rarity on modern television.

The work of Stephen King continues to be actively adapted in the format of TV series — at the beginning of the year, HBO released "Alien", now it's time for the most topical novel of the King of Horror.

About the" Confrontation", in which a new terrible virus destroyed 99% of the world's population, for obvious reasons, remembered all year — it's time to see the future with your own eyes according to King.

According to the plot, the remnants of humanity, the same 1%, are divided into two camps: one supports Mother Abigail, who fulfills the will of God, the other — the mysterious "black man", Randall Flagg, who is considered the messenger of the devil. The series will be dedicated to the confrontation of the two messiahs and their minions.

On the last day of the year, the final eight episodes will return to "The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina" — a dark attempt to look at the life and problems of the beloved little witch.

After an unsuccessful first season, the creators seem to have found the right balance between the teen drama and the story of a girl who must serve Satan, so fans are looking forward to the finale.

Another thing is whether it is worth spending New Year's Eve and the following weekend on a series that is clearly associated with Halloween?
