MÉXICO.— La película de Netflix "La captura" ha generado debate sobre la ausencia de Emma Coronel, esposa de Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, en la producción. Aunque no se ha revelado una justificación oficial, la ausencia de la modelo se explica por el enfoque de la cinta en la Operación Cisne Negro, que abarca la tercera y última captura del líder del Cártel de Sinaloa. La operación, que tuvo lugar el 8 de enero de 2016, se centra en el momento en que los agentes de la Policía Federal interceptaron el vehículo en el que huían Guzmán y su escolta, Jorge Iván Gastélum, conocido como "El Cholo". Emma Coronel, quien no estaba presente en ese momento, explicó en un documental que se enteró de la detención de su esposo a través de las noticias. Describió su reacción como una mezcla de tristeza, estrés, molestia y preocupación, mencionando que en ese momento se sintió en shock. Según el testimonio de Coronel, la última vez que vio a Guzmán fue durante una cena familiar en diciembre de 2015, junto con sus dos hijas y el narcotraficante. Durante la operación, ella expresó angustia por no saber qué estaba ocurriendo, pero confesó que acudió a visitarlo cuando tuvo la oportunidad. Aunque no niega su relación sentimental con Guzmán, la modelo se muestra molesta por las producciones que retratan su historia, afirmando que lo que se muestra en estas películas y documentales está lejos de la realidad. La cinta "La captura" se basa en la perspectiva de dos agentes de la Policía Federal que participaron en la operación. La producción, disponible en HBO Max, incluye un documental titulado "Casada con 'El Chapo': Emma Coronel habla", que detalla su experiencia durante el proceso de detención de Guzmán y su posterior extradición a Estados Unidos.

Seven Must-Stream Shows to Watch This Week Lanterns, a stylish and self-aware expansion of DC Comics’ Green Lantern franchise, debuts on HBO Max on Monday, 17 August. The series follows Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre as Hal Jordan and John Stewart, two intergalactic peacekeepers with rings granting them extraordinary powers. Despite their cosmic duties, the characters grapple with personal flaws—Hal is a booze-addled individual who uses his ring to counterfeit money, while John, his slick heir apparent, faces succession conflicts. A murder in rural Nebraska sets the stage for a confrontation with “the most dangerous beings to ever exist in the galaxy.” The show blends humor, intrigue, and gripping storytelling. Another highlight is a lighthearted hiking adventure featuring four young Korean entertainers—Lee Chae-min, Dowoon, Tarzzan, and Car, the Garden.

HBO Max Cancels 'American Blue' Drama Pilot Starring Milo Ventimiglia HBO Max has decided not to move forward with its drama pilot American Blue, which stars Milo Ventimiglia. The project, developed by Warner Bros Television, is now seeking a new home outside the streaming platform. The decision comes as the studio evaluates its programming slate, with the other pilot under consideration—How to Survive Without Me—showing stronger prospects for a series pickup. American Blue was created under the model established by HBO Max’s Emmy-winning series The Pitt, which features 15+ episodes per season, a modest budget, and an annual release schedule. This structure positions the project as a viable option for both traditional network and streaming platforms. The pilot, written by Jeremy Carver and directed by David Ayer, follows Brian “Milk” Milkovich, a native of Joliet, Illinois, who returns to his hometown to help a struggling police department while grappling with personal redemption. The series’ regular cast includes Kelly Jenrette, Carlito Olivero, Onye Eme-Akwari, Jess Gabor, Eddie Kaye Thomas, Paulina Olszynski, Algee Smith, Jeremy Bobb, Rich Sommer, Jesse Garcia, Wrenn Schmidt, Ellyn Jameson, and Maisie Merlock. Carver serves as an executive producer alongside Brian Udovich, Neil Reynolds, and Ayer. Ventimiglia co-executive produces the project, with his longtime producing partner Russ Cundiff also involved. While American Blue has been shelved, the WBTV family drama How to Survive Without Me, starring Ray Romano, Kaley Cuoco, and Joshua Jackson, appears to be in a stronger position. Industry insiders suggest the pilot has garnered positive feedback and is likely to be picked up as a full series.#hbo_max #warner_bros_television #milo_ventimiglia #how_to_survive_without_me #joliet_illinois

Maria Sakkari vs Linda Nosková Preview: French Open 2026 Match Analysis Linda Nosková will face Maria Sakkari in the first round of the French Open 2026, marking their first encounter on clay. The 12th-seeded Nosková, ranked higher than Sakkari, enters the match with a stronger recent form, boasting a 15-9 win-loss record for the year. She has advanced to the quarterfinals in Stuttgart and Madrid, defeating top players like Coco Gauff and Ekaterina Alexandrova. Sakkari, meanwhile, has struggled on clay this season, winning only 9 of her 19 matches in 2026. Despite this, the Greek player remains a formidable opponent, having defeated Iga Świątek and Jasmine Paolini en route to the Qatar Open semifinals earlier this year. The head-to-head record between the two players is split at 1-1. Nosková secured a three-set victory in Doha two years ago, while Sakkari claimed a straight-sets win in Adelaide last year. This match will be their first on clay, a surface where Sakkari’s aggressive style and heavy topspin could play a critical role. Nosková, known for her powerful backhand and dominant serve, will aim to exploit Sakkari’s vulnerabilities. However, Sakkari’s experience in high-stakes matches and her ability to elevate her game on the big stage make her a dangerous opponent. Nosková’s recent form suggests she has the momentum to challenge Sakkari. Her success in clay tournaments this year, coupled with her strong performance in the first rounds of major events, positions her as a favorite. However, Sakkari’s history of performing well on clay, despite her current struggles, means she cannot be overlooked. The match is expected to be a closely contested battle, with the outcome hinging on which player can maintain consistency and minimize unforced errors.#linda_noskova #maria_sakkari #hbo_max #roland_garros #french_open_2026

The series, created by Sam Levinson, explores themes of faith, redemption, and the problem of evil. USA TODAY TV Critic Kelly Lawler gave the season ★★ out of four, noting that the show has returned to a "completely different zeitgeist" four years after its last season. She observed that the series has "lost its fire," with "the party drugs all used up" and "the lights have turned on at the club." Lawler attributed this shift to the changing world and the cast's elevated status as A-list stars, writing that the show "has changed" since its debut. The season’s episode schedule includes eight episodes, with the first episode airing on April 19. Subsequent episodes will follow on April 26, and the final episode is scheduled for May 31.

Euphoria Season 3: Controversy Over Sydney Sweeney’s Scene and Cassie’s Arc The third season of Euphoria has ignited fierce debate among fans and critics, with a controversial scene featuring Sydney Sweeney’s character, Cassie Howard, at the center of the backlash. The episode, which depicts Cassie in a childlike costume performing sexually suggestive acts for online followers, has been widely criticized as exploitative and disturbing. Viewers and critics argue that the scene crosses ethical boundaries, prioritizing shock value over meaningful storytelling. The controversy has overshadowed the show’s usual focus on raw, unfiltered portrayals of teenage struggles, sparking discussions about the show’s evolving narrative and its responsibility to its audience. The scene in question, as reported by The Sun, shows Cassie, played by Sweeney, dressed in a super-childish outfit with pigtails, a pacifier, and other infantile accessories, engaging in explicit content for adult platforms like OnlyFans. The context is that Cassie is using this activity to fund her lavish wedding and lifestyle while maintaining her online presence. Critics argue that the show sexualizes childlike imagery, blurring the line between artistic expression and exploitation. Social media reactions have been overwhelmingly negative, with users calling the scene “disturbing,” “exploitative,” and “sick.” Some fans expressed disappointment, stating that the episode prioritizes shock over substance, while others condemned the normalization of such content. The backlash has been intense, with comments like “This alone just made me not wanna watch it anymore” and “We shouldn’t be okay with this… the entire production should be held responsible for this abhorrent mess” reflecting the widespread outrage.#zendaya #hbo_max #sydney_sweeney #euphoria_season_3 #cassie

Jean Smart Reflects on 'Hacks' Final Season and Career Evolution As HBO Max’s Emmy-winning series Hacks prepares to conclude its fifth and final season, creator-showrunners Paul W. Downs and Jen Statsky, along with star Jean Smart, have shared insights into the show’s creative journey and its impact on their careers. The final season, which premiered on April 9, marks a return to the show’s signature humor while addressing deeper themes that have evolved over its run. Downs, who co-created the series with Statsky, revealed several ambitious ideas they aimed to realize during the show’s run. One of the most memorable moments came in Episode 7, The Nightmare, where Downs humorously pitched a scene involving a camera being directed “down the mouth.” The idea, which had been a long-standing joke among the writing team, finally materialized in the episode, showcasing the show’s willingness to embrace absurdity. Statsky added that the team had always wanted to explore the concept of an autograph convention, akin to the “Night of 1,000 Stars,” a nod to the show’s fascination with fandom and celebrity culture. This theme has been central to the series, which often blurs the lines between reality and performance, reflecting the experiences of both its characters and its creators. For Smart, who portrays Deborah Vance, the character has become more than just a comedic figure. The actress reflected on how the show’s tone shifted in Season 4, which she described as “a little bit dark” after years of lighter, more satirical storytelling. “I was worried people would hate me,” she admitted, acknowledging the risk of alienating fans by taking the show in a darker direction. However, she noted that the audience’s loyalty allowed the team to push creative boundaries.#hbo_max #jean_smart #paul_w_downs #jen_statsky #hacks

Damon Lindelof's Comments on Lanterns Spark Debate Among DC Franchise Fans The DC Universe has seen a strong start under James Gunn's leadership, but 2026 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for the franchise. Two major projects are set to debut: the upcoming Supergirl movie and the high-profile HBO Max series Lanterns, which marks the first major DC series to launch on the platform. The series has already sparked controversy due to its title and creative direction, drawing criticism from some within the comic book community. Lindelof, who co-created Lanterns, made a controversial remark during a recent interview. When asked about the show's title, he joked that the team had agreed the word "Green" was "stupid," leading to the choice of "Lanterns" instead. While Lindelof clarified that his show was a comedy-focused project, many fans and critics interpreted the comment as dismissive of the Green Lantern franchise. The lack of green in the Lanterns trailer further fueled speculation that Lindelof was not fully committed to the material, with some viewers seeing it as a marketing delay rather than a genuine issue. Comic writer Grant Morrison, a longtime critic of DC's creative direction, weighed in on the controversy. He argued that Lindelof’s comments reflected a lack of respect for the source material, comparing the situation to assigning a CSI script to a writer who mocks forensic experts. Morrison emphasized that Lindelof, with his track record of success on original projects, should not be given DC properties if he is not suited for the task. He questioned why the franchise would hire someone who appears to be "ashamed and in denial" about the comic book material they are tasked with developing.#hbo_max #damon_lindelof #green_lantern #grant_morrison #dc_universe

AEW Revolution Preview: Match Card, Start Time, How to Watch, More AEW Revolution will take place live from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Sunday, March 15, 2026, at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT, broadcast on HBO Max as a pay-per-view event. This will be the seventh edition of the annual Revolution and the second consecutive year the show will be held in Los Angeles.

Before the main card, AEW Zero Hour will air an hour earlier, showcasing three matches, including a 21-Man Blackjack Battle Royale for the AEW National Championship and a TBS Championship match, available on HBO Max, YouTube, Amazon Prime, X, MyAEW, and Facebook. The main card includes a mix of championship matches and high-stakes encounters. The AEW World Championship will headline the event in a Texas Death Match between MJF (c) and “Hangman” Adam Page. If Page loses, he will be barred from challenging for the AEW World Title again. The match is a rematch of their intense battle at Revolution last year, with Page having previously defeated MJF in a Texas Death Match at All In Texas. MJF, who won his first AEW World Title in 2022, has since defended the title multiple times, while Page’s second reign ended in November 2025 after being betrayed by HOOK. Page’s return to the title picture came after a 4-Way match at Full Gear 2025, where he defeated Samoa Joe to reclaim the title. The stipulation of a Texas Death Match was agreed upon after a coin flip, with Page securing the stipulation despite MJF’s attempt to rig the outcome. Page’s record in Texas Death Matches is 5-1, including 3-0 when the AEW World Title is at stake. MJF, who has never competed in a Texas Death Match, faces the risk of losing his chance to challenge for the title again if he falls.#crypto_com_arena #aew #hbo_max #mujf #adam_page
