It’s not only pay TV operators in Latin America that are launching and cultivating Ott services. Globo, the biggest broadcast network in Latin America, has just bowed one of its banner new Mipcom titles, “Harassment,” on Globoplay, its digital platform. A series in the social-issue line of “Jailers” and “Under Pressure,” it is not digital first but currently digital only: When it will air on Globo’s core free-to-air channel has yet to be determined.
“Harassment” will soon be joined on Globoplay by “Under Pressure” Season 2, which will double down on corruption in Brazil’s hospital system, released simultaneously on Ott and free-to-air channel Globo.
Though a fictional work, “Harassment” is freely inspired by the book “A Clínica: A Farsa e os Crimes de Roger Abdelmassih”, itself based on a notorious true-life case of a Brazilian gynecologist sentenced to 181 years for sedating and raping 30 clients.
