Merlí is a television series produced by Catalan channel TV3 about a philosophy teacher of the same name, who encourages students to think freely using some unorthodox methods, dividing the opinions of the class, teachers and families.

With some influence from films like Dead Poets Society, in Merlí, the director attempts to bring philosophy closer to everyone. Each episode includes the approaches of some great thinker or school, such as peripatetic, Nietzsche or Schopenhauer, linking the events and the characters.

The series, created and written by Hector Lozano and directed by Eduard Cortés, premiered on TV3 on September 14, 2015 in primetime and reached a share of 17.7% with 566,000 viewers.[1] In total the series consists of 13 episodes, baptized with the name of different philosophers.

The series has been dubbed into Spanish by the company Atresmedia, and was broadcast on the television channel La Sexta from April to June 2016. In November 2016, the American company Netflix bought the first season of the series in Spanish to broadcast in the Latin America and the United States.[2] Currently the second season of the series is being broadcast on TV3.
