Netflix Debuts Mexican Microseries Entre Padre e Hijo With 10-Minute Episodes

The release signals Netflix’s bid to court short-form viewers with TV-grade storytelling.

Overview

  • Entre Padre e Hijo, which premiered on Netflix on Wednesday, is streaming in Latin America, the United States, and Spain.
  • The story follows a high-powered lawyer whose visit to her fiancé’s ranch sparks a forbidden pull toward his son as a past disappearance hangs over the family.
  • The series runs 20 bite-size episodes of about 10 minutes, part of what Netflix calls a Hybrid Drama aimed at people used to quick, vertical-video apps like ReelShort and DramaBox.
  • Episodes skip recaps and drop viewers into scenes mid-conversation, a speed that some reviewers say trims context and can blur plot details.
  • Created and directed by Pablo Illanes with leads Pamela Almanza, Erick Elías, and Graco Sendel, the Mexican original could guide more short-episode dramas if watch time holds.
