The miniseries "The Time of the Flies" is an Argentine dramatic and criminal story available on Netflix, where it has become a rage. According to what the Argentine News Agency learned, it is based on two novels by Claudia Piñeiro: "Tuya" (2005) and "The Time of the Flies" (2022), whose plots intertwine to tell a single story centered on its female protagonists. This national production, directed by Ana Katz and Benjamin Naishtat, and written by Gabriela Larralde and Nicolás Diodovich, among other collaborators, premiered on January 1, 2026. Since then, it has remained the most-watched content on the platform, even surpassing "Stranger Things". The series follows Inés and Mariana "La Manca", two women who met in prison and, after serving their sentence, try to rebuild their lives outside the penitentiary, running a fumigation business while facing the challenges of social reintegration. Everything changes when they accept a job that seems like an opportunity, but their intuition tells them they have been deceived. Faced with this, they are forced to become amateur investigators to unravel what happened, facing dangers, deceptions, and unexpected situations.
