Netflix released the supernatural drama miniseries ‘My Sad Dead’, directed by Pablo Larraín and based on a novel by Mariana Enríquez. The story centers on Ema, a retired doctor in Buenos Aires with the ability to communicate with the dead, and her niece Julie, who possesses a more volatile connection to the spirit world.

The series is described as a modern gothic tale and a satire of urban Argentina, set in the Piedrabuena neighborhood. It explores themes of grief, death, and urban isolation, utilizing the psychological impact of brutalist architecture and hostile urban environments rather than traditional jump scares. The narrative concludes by depicting a world where the living and the dead coexist in the same space.
