As I delve into the captivating world of international television, I find myself utterly spellbound by the diverse narratives and exceptional talent that these series represent. Each story, woven from the threads of different cultures, is a testament to the universal language of emotions and experiences that bind us all.
Major streaming platforms are strong contenders in the chase for the 52nd International Emmy Awards, which will be handed out by the International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences on November 25th in New York.
The nominees for drama series encompass Season 2 of the Argentine thriller “Yosi, the Regretful Spy” on Prime Video, which is inspired by a true story about an Argentine police agent who secretly infiltrates a Jewish community. Additionally, the Indian adaptation of BBC/AMC’s John le Carré adaptation “The Night Manager,” streaming on Disney+ Hotstar, is also up for consideration. This series revolves around a ruthless and dangerous arms dealer.
They’re up against “Drops of God,” an Apple TV+ show based on a manga, which revolves around an estranged daughter of a French wine expert who has to compete with her father’s Japanese protege in a series of challenges. Additionally, they’re also battling it out with Season 2 of “The Newsreader” on Prime Video, a show that delves into the ruthless landscape of Australian news media during the 1980s.
In the realm of TV movies and miniseries, Netflix offers the German psychological thriller “Dear Child,” which is adapted from Romy Hausmann’s novel, following the story of two children and their mother who break free from years of confinement. On the other hand, Paramount+ presents “Anderson Spider Silva,” a series based on the true-life tale of Brazilian mixed martial arts champion Anderson Silva.
They go up against Japanese crime mystery “Deaf Voice: A Sign-Language Interpreter in Court,” in which a former police officer uses his sign language skills to work as a court interpreter, and inadvertently gets caught up in a murder investigation. The show aired on Japanese broadcaster NHK.
Additionally, the British broadcasting corporation BBC’s crime drama titled “The Sixth Commandment” is also vying for attention. This series is inspired by true events involving the murders of a teacher and his neighbor in an English village. The show garnered BAFTA awards for Best Limited Series Drama and Lead Actor, Timothy Spall.
I’m also in contention for the same category at the International Emmys, going head-to-head with Laurent Lafitte from the French series “Class Act,” streaming on Netflix. We’re both portraying different aspects of France’s controversial figure, Bernard Tapie. In the running alongside us are Julio Andrade for “Living on a Razor’s Edge” from Brazilian streamer Globoplay, which tells the story of anti-poverty activist and sociologist Herbert de Souza. Additionally, there’s Haluk Bilginer from Season 2 of Turkey’s “Persona,” streaming on Gain VOD service. Interestingly, Bilginer won the International Emmy in 2019 for his role in the first season of “Persona,” where he played a man with Alzheimer’s who transforms into a vigilante.
In the competition for acting roles, Adriana Barraza is up for Netflix’s comedy-drama “Where the Tracks End,” inspired by Ángeles Doñantes’ novel and focusing on a motivational teacher in rural Mexico. Hailing from Thailand, Aokbab-Chutimon Chuengcharoensukying vies for the Netflix thriller “Hunger,” which garnered the award for Best Feature Film at the Asian Academy Creative Awards. This story revolves around a talented street food chef in Bangkok who gets involved with an influential luxury restaurant, where peril lurks.
Sara Giraudeau is up against France’s “Everything Is Fine” on Disney+, where an everyday family encounters a dire situation – one child’s serious illness. In contrast, Jessica Hynes is in the running for Season 2 of the British comedy-drama “There She Goes.” Hynes previously earned a BAFTA for Season 1. The BBC series is inspired by the true-life experiences of writers Shaun Pye and Sarah Crawford, whose daughter has a rare chromosomal disorder.
In the documentary genre, we find “The Billionaire, the Butler and the Boyfriend” from France, available on Netflix, focusing on a conflict between the world’s wealthiest woman and her daughter. From the U.K., there’s “Otto Baxter: Not a F**ing Horror Story” on Sky, where a 35-year-old man with Down Syndrome creates and directs a comedy-horror musical set in Victorian London. “The Exiles,” from Singapore, airs on Mediacorp and delves into the post-World War II deportation of Asian seamen from the U.K. and Australia. Lastly, Brazil’s “Transo” on Canal Futura investigates the intimate lives of people with disabilities and their sexuality.
In the realm of comedy, shows like South Korea’s “Daily Dose of Sunshine” and Argentina’s “División Palermo” are competing on Netflix, along with the Australian series “Deadloch,” which is available on Prime Video, as well as Season 3 of France’s “HPI,” broadcast by local station TF1.
