Ang On The Job, Trese, at Folklore ang tatlo sa mga hinirang na Ten Best Asian Television Shows of 2021 ng Singapore-based music media company na New Musical Express (NME) Asia.
Maipagmamalaki ng mga Pilipino ang On The Job, Folklore, at Trese dahil proudly Philippine made ang mga programang napanood sa HBO Asia at Netflix.
Ang Folklore ay ang horror anthology series ng HBO Asia.
Ang award-winning Filipino filmmaker na si Erik Matti ang direktor ng "7 Days of Hell" episode na tinampukan nina Mon Confiado, Dido dela Paz, Dolly de Leon, at Rosh Barman.
Si Matti rin ang sumulat at direktor ng On The Job na ipinalabas sa HBO Go mula September 12, 2021 hanggang October 3, 2021.
Ang On The Job, na pinagbidahan nina Piolo Pascual, Gerald Anderson, Dennis Trillo, at John Arcilla, ay dalawang pelikulang pinagsama pero ginawang six-part series ng HBO.
Ang On The Job: The Missing 8 ang pelikulang nagpanalo kay John ng Volpi Cup for Best Actor sa 78th Venice International Film Festival noong September 11, 2021.
Nagsimula naman ang streaming ng Trese sa Netflix noong June 2021 at matagal na namayagpag bilang number one content sa Netflix Philippines.
Kasalukuyang nagbabakasyon sa Amerika si Matti pero hindi ito nakatiis na hindi ilabas ang kanyang saloobin nang malaman niya ang magandang balitang kasama ang On The Job at Folklore sa listahan ng Ten Best Asian Television Shows of 2021.
Pahayag niya, “While on hibernation, I keep thinking about all the online series that we are fortunate to work on for 2022 and think about still wanting to keep on doing movies in between those so that we keep cinema alive as much as possible.
“My brave fighter self still want to keep movies alive in the Philippines but it seems like no one is giving us any love.
“The theater operators seem to only be concerned with Marvel and Hollywood. Producers are also not fighting hard enough for our films to be made and be seen.
“Streamers were the only ones who have shown us the love during the hard times the past year.
“Big or small, they kept a lot of us filmmakers afloat with a steady supply of productions. Some may not have a lot of resources but still, that’s some love no matter what you think.
“This recognition of our works as SERIES and not as films maybe the way the universe is telling us to choose the ones who show us the most love for our work.
“And right now, the streamers seem to be giving us that love. So, game on 2022!” ang makahulugang reaksyon ni Erik tungkol sa kanyang award-winning film (On The Job) na kinilala ng NME Asia bilang isang television show.
Kasama rin sa Ten Best Asian Television Shows of 2021 ng NME Asia ang Squid Game, Vincenzo, at Hellbound ng South Korea; Odd Taxi, Wonder Egg Priority, at To Your Eternity ng Japan; at Girl From Nowhere ng Thailand.
