Using a mixed methodology and a sequential explanatory design, it evaluates the voices of the premiere chapter of the first season, based on variables such as narrative function, language and accent in order to establish a relationship with the characters, country of origin of the actors, and the commitment of Netflix to build a transnational and global series. © 2022 Universidad de Caldas.
