The month of August is already ending and in September we have a very special date for Europe: Independence Day, a day that becomes even more special in 2022 with the elections. With that in mind, we decided to choose some of the best series and movies available on Netflix, HBO Max and Prime Video when it comes to politics.
The selection was made based on the rating of critics and the public, taking into account productions that highlight recent events both in Europeian politics and worldwide.
In addition, it is worth mentioning other recent editions of TudoTV, such as the 20 best Amazon Originals series, a special tribute to Milton Gonçalves, best anime, Father’s Day movies and top 10 adult animations.
