A still from 'Fleabag'.
During these weeks, we have learned to bake bread, we have dared with pastries and we have read more than ever, in physical format or through Kindle. But, after all, it is possible that binge-watching series and movies are still the preferred option for the majority.
Luckily, we have streaming platforms like Amazon Prime Video , which now also launches for the first time in Spain the store of Prime Video ; a new service, which has already been all the rage in other countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and Japan, and that allows us to rent or buy movies without having to be a subscriber.
As always, getting it couldn't be easier, you just have to access the 'Store', in the web navigation menu, and access the movies or series that are available to us in the 'My space' tab. Also available through the Prime Video app , available for all these devices.
Among the available options, classics and novelties such as joker, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, Manchester by the sea, Cold War, Jumanji: The Next Level either Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan , an Amazon original series. But in addition to own productions such as The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel either fleabag , the range of options also takes into account other infallible production companies such as Disney, Warner Bros., NBCUniversal, Sony, Paramount and Lionsgate.
Among our favourites, although it has been difficult for us to decide, are two series starring women. The first, Fleabag, has as its protagonist Phoebe Waller Bridge , its creator. The London actress has been acclaimed for her in the last awards season and picked up a Golden Globe for her work as an actress and also an Emmy.
What has made viewers fall in love with fiction, which comes in small doses and which, luckily, will have a third season, is the mix between impudence and vulnerability of its protagonist , that she doesn't quite feel comfortable in her skin or in a world that is anything but welcoming.

Another of the Amazon Originals fictions that we would like to highlight is The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, a series created by Amy Sherman-Palladino , the same responsible for gilmore girls . The fiction that takes place at the end of the 50s in Manhattan has as its protagonist a woman with a decaffeinated existence who, after the abandonment of her husband, becomes an Upper West Side monologist.
