Monday (27/04): Star Wars: Maul – Lord of the Shadows (Season 1, Episodes 7 and 8)
Lucasfilm Animation continues to expand the galactic underworld with Star Wars: Maul – Lord of the Shadows. Set in the power vacuum left after the events of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, the series focuses on Maul's resilience and strategic malevolence. In these new episodes, we see the protagonist attempting to rebuild his criminal empire on a remote planet, beyond the reach of the Galactic Empire's surveillance.
The major attraction this week is the crossing of paths between Maul and a disillusioned Jedi Padawan. The master-apprentice dynamic takes on dark contours, questioning whether Maul's revenge can be the only path for those abandoned by the Order. It's an essential work to understand the franchise canon's evolution and the fate of criminal factions in the galaxy.
Tuesday (28/04): Daredevil: Reborn (Season 2, Episode 7)
Marvel Television raises the tension in Hell's Kitchen with the new episode of Daredevil: Reborn. The rivalry between Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin, reaches a point of no return. Fisk, now as Mayor of New York, uses the public apparatus to hunt the vigilante while destroying the city's infrastructure under the guise of "urban cleanup."
Episode 7 focuses on Murdock's psychological resistance. Operating from the shadows, the "man without fear" attempts to counterattack to topple Fisk's corrupt empire and reclaim his home. The series maintains the raw, urban tone that Brazilian fans greatly appreciate, addressing corruption and justice in a direct and visceral way.
Wednesday (29/04): The Testaments: The Daughters of Gilead (Season 1, Episode 6)

The production addresses how brutality is imposed under religious justifications within Aunt Lydia's exclusive preparatory school. For Brazilian viewers interested in social criticism and psychological suspense, the growing bond between the two protagonists represents the trigger that will shake the regime's future. It's a powerful narrative about the loss of innocence and the search for identity in an oppressive environment.
