7. Happiness
No release date yet
At a time when happiness is seen as an utmost goal, some look to the brain with the help of neurological scanners, while others believe they can find it with statistics. At Harvard, Robert Waldinger directs the longest study on happiness, and for more than eight years he has studied the secret to happiness and he opens up about how his understanding have shifted over the years. Richard Davidson, intimate friend of the Dalai Lama, shows how the “happiness centers” of our brain work. But there are still pressing questions: Is there a happiness economy? Is Latin America happier than other parts of the world? Will we be happy in the future?
6. Dark Web

The Dark Web is a part of the Internet where decentralization and anonymity reign – and it is growing in popularity. Jorge Lanata learns about how the dark web was born, and with the help of researchers and cybercrime specialists, he immerses himself in the new way of doing crime. But there are some who believe the dark web is a space where you can surf the net without censorship and the possibility of being spied on. Runa Sandvik, former Information Security Chief of The New York Times, explains why the most prestigious newspapers in the world are also on the dark web as we investigate whether digital freedom is possible.

André Luiz Ribeiro was 27 when he was badly injured by neighbors who mistook him for a burglar; he was forced to give a class about the French Revolution so that his aggressors would believe he was a history teacher. In 2019, Claudio Pardo killed a young man who mugged his family, and has lived with the memory ever since. In Michoacán, “Comandante Teto” is the leader of a self-defense group who fights against the Jalisco Nueva Generación cartel. In nearby Guerrero, kids would rather learn to shoot than go to school. We look at why armed civilians, lynching and self-defense security groups are on the rise in Latin America.
4. Euthanasia
No release date yet
Dying can be a decision. Many people suffering from terminal diseases are willing to take it, but the law does not always back that choice. Some societies see euthanasia as compassion for people who are suffering, while others see it as “death culture.” In July 2015, the first legal euthanasia in Latin America was performed in Colombia. Ovidio González, father of the known cartoonist “Matador”, died with the assistance of a medical team. And in Peru, Ana Estrada obtained a historical ruling in favor of her request of a “respectable death”. In other Latin American countries, the debate is only just beginning. During this episode, Jorge Lanata questions why some still see euthanasia as a taboo.
3. Anxiety

According to the World Health Organization, a fourth of the world’s population will face a mental disorder during their lifetime. More than 300 million people suffer from depression, and one out of four people experience addictions unrelated to illegal drugs. Loneliness, confinement and the threat of a deadly disease that COVID-19 sent troubling figures skyward. In only the first year of the pandemic, depression and anxiety increased by 25%. In this episode, Jorge Lanata immerses himself into the chambers of the next great health crisis-- mental disorders.

We invent a life of luxury on Instagram, we put our best faces forward on Facebook, and we write the perfect tweets in 140 characters or less on Twitter. The birth of the "like" button in 2007 managed to activate the same triggers in our brain that gambling and drugs do. But how far are we willing to go for a like? And as the line between the real and virtual world becomes increasingly difficult to differentiate, what will be the true cost of living a virtual life? Influencer Mario Ruiz lifts the curtain of the “like” factory and breaks down what it's like to live with millions of followers. In Buenos Aires, Molly Smile began posting pictures of herself with no ulterior motive, but after a follower paid her for a picture her hobby turned into a new job. Alexis Ro, meanwhile, opens up about being a repentant Instagrammer.
