El futuro no siempre se expresa con futuro. Analizamos cuándo el español usa subjuntivo para hablar de acciones futuras y cómo el tiempo depende del sentido, no solo de la forma verbal.

Rob: Hi Selma, how are you?

Selma: Oh hi Rob! I’m doing well, thanks. Just finished that essay that’s due in tomorrow. It was a tough topic!

Rob: Tell me about it. It took me ages. So, listen, I wanted to ask you about Netflix. You subscribe to it, don’t you?

Selma: I do, yes.

Rob: I’m thinking about signing up, but I wanted to get your view on it. Is it worth the money?

Selma: I really think it is, although I don’t know that everyone would agree with me. I’m a huge fan of crime series, so there’s nothing I love more than binge-watching a whole series in a day in my pijamas.

Rob: I keep reading about some really interesting films coming up on there – there was that Martin Scorsese film recently?

Selma: Oh yes, The Irishman. I haven’t seen it yet, but Jane loved it and said it was some of his best work. So, it’s on my list. But absolutely everything is covered. There’s Horror, Thrillers, Comedy, Cartoons, you name it. I’ve seen some really thought-provoking documentaries on there recently. There’s Saving Capitalism by Robert Reich which takes a really good look at the system we live in and its problems and then makes suggestions for how to fix it. I watched What The Health which looks at the links between the food industry and healthcare. I’ve had a lot of discussions with other students about that one.

Rob: Is there much music stuff on there?

Selma: Loads! Film from concerts, documentaries about Bowie, Oasis, Bob Dylan… you like Hip Hop, don’t you? There is a great series called Hip Hop Evolutionthat goes into how it all started. It’s fascinating. What I really like about Netflix though is because there’s such a huge audience, there’s a lot of representation of different groups in society. There are loads of foreign films, there’s LGBTQ themes, Black and Asian directors. Something for everyone. Did you hear about Squid Game?

Rob: Oh yeah, the Korean series?

Selma: Yes, it was brilliant and completely unlike anything you’d see over here.
