"Merlí" at 10: How a Catalan Series Made Philosophy Popular and Sparked Crucial Conversations
Barcelona, Spain "Merlí" Marks a Decade: Reflecting on a Catalan Cultural Phenomenon The acclaimed Catalan television series "Merlí" recently celebrated its tenth anniversary, prompting reflections on its significant cultural and educational impact. Produced by 3Cat, the series, which originally aired on TV3, is being lauded for its unique ability to bring philosophy into mainstream popular culture and foster meaningful discussions among young audiences. During a recent discussion, participants highlighted the series' role as a "refuge" and a "meeting point" for viewers. One interviewee stated, "It was much more than a series. It was a refuge, a meeting point, a door to debate." Another participant emphasized how "Merlí" succeeded in making philosophy accessible, explaining, "It managed to bring philosophy into a popular dimension and extrapolate it to everyday problems." The series is particularly remembered for its ability to encourage adolescents to "verbalize questions they didn't talk about with their peers," addressing complex themes in a relatable manner. This therapeutic quality, as described by one speaker, contributed to its enduring legacy and emblematic status within Catalan television history. The discussion underscored that "Merlí" not only entertained but also educated and inspired a generation, solidifying its place as a pivotal cultural milestone.
